According to Corey Chavous of Draftnasty.com: "He was a pretty good leader for the team when they had injury problems. He moved to safety seemlessly. I think he’s going to be good for the secondary out there, I really do. I think he has a lot of potential. His best football is ahead of him. I always thought his best work would be at corner, but then when I saw him at safety, he takes really good angles. He breaks up a lot of passes, I’d just like to see him finish on the ball a little better. The one thing I really like about him, he’s got really good movement skills. He bends well, he can play a lot of different positions. He’s a very mature kid who could start year one"
I think this clears up the subject of Wilson's potential. And as far as where we drafted him, Belichick obviously felt he could be taken between 48 and 62, or he would have waited and taken him at 62, right? I don't understand why that concept is so hard to get. Very simple -the Pats liked him, had another selection 13 picks later, and took him there at 48 because it was risky to do otherwise. If somebody can come up with some other plausible explanation I'd like to hear it.
