Why did we let him leave?
He wasn't that good, basically a JAG. To his credit, he's worked hard and improved his play enormously.

Lord knows a player has never improved ever.The reporters at the end of training camp said his drops went up so he was relegated to the practice squad. That drop for a TD was worse than Harry's drop a week earlier - but no-one on PatsFans wants to admit what they saw because they want a new wide receiver. I want to win - I couldn't care less if it is Harry or Wilkerson. Only telling you what is obvious. Wilkerson might be a better fit, might work harder, might run better routes, but be prepared for some drops - he is not the answer.
Could be. Time will tell. I am too old to quickly jump on the next bandwagon. Did that in my younger years and it was not pretty at times.
I hope he is great, but first I will have to see it. Catching a ball when the DB fell for the fake screen and there was no other player within 20 yards of him is not an amazing route, it is an amazing play design. Running the deep crossing route and catching a ball for a TD would have been a great route and play by Wilkerson, but he dropped the ball when he was running at top speed in a pressure situation. Saying he is better than Harry is not a high bar.

Either way, he will be hopefully relegated to the #4 receiver role once Agholor comes back.
Based on what? Why is he stupid?

I would run more behind Mason and Brown instead of behind Andrews or behind Wynn and Karras, especially short yardage and goal line:
I generally agree re: Wilkerson’s long-term prognosis, but Harry’s whiff was far more egregious than Wilk’s TD drop/PBU was.

It was in his hands and the defender's arm was nowhere near the ball. He dropped it when the defender pushed his helmet down from behind.He should have caught it because he got his hands in the proper position but the degree of difficulty was def up there. 40yd over the shoulder w/ a defender's arm in KWs view? Not easy.
That’s because you got greedy, Kenny… Sometimes you don’t know when to go down & stay down… Might be why you also sometimes put the ball on the ground…
