Well according to three different sources some rate Wilson as the fourth best CB in the draft, and he could go in the late first round.
One ex-pro scout Rush Lande is among the sources saying Wilson could go late first to mid-second.
John Murphy of Yahoo Sports on the '07 High-Risers "2. Maryland senior cornerback Josh Wilson
Wilson's straight-line speed (4.33/4.39) to go along with his high character and intangibles could make him this year's version of Fabian Washington – a speedy, under-sized cornerback who went from third- to fifth-round consideration to first-round choice (No. 23) by the Oakland Raiders two years ago.
Although he is just 188 pounds, Wilson's ability to read and react so quickly to the play allows him to contribute against the run, and he is one of the best all-around special teams prospects on the board. The NFL is lacking in cover corners, so when combined with Wilson's background, physical tools and ability to contribute immediately on nickel/dime packages and special teams units, he should be drafted over several other higher profile cornerbacks."
So, maybe NE should take this guy at 28? I've been on the bandwagon from the start, but I didn't think he'd climb this high. I do think he's among the top 3-4 CB's for NE's defense.
