PFF - Wilson has a ton of uncoachable tools to work with, but in certain ways, he is more of a project than we're used to seeing out of Ohio State.
CBS - Wilson has a nearly identical skill-set as T.Y. Hilton had when Hilton came out of Florida International. The difference? Wilson is much more NFL-ready wide receiver than Hilton was thanks to his route-running and overall technique. Wilson also has larger hands to help him snare passes. Hilton developed into a dangerous wideout thanks to his incredible separation, but his size eventually became his downfall after too many injuries. There is a fear something similar could happen to Wilson, but it might take some time for defenders to catch up to him.
FB Guys - Wilson might be the first receiver drafted, but he is not the most skilled route runner in this class. He possesses great burst and game at the catch and after the catch. Wilson can make game-changing plays. If he becomes more refined in his routes with good releases against press, he’ll likely be the best receiver in this class.
DLF - Post-Draft Summary: Many regarded Wilson as the best receiver in this draft class and a candidate to go to the Jets with the fourth overall selection. In the end, New York was able to snag a franchise cornerback (Sauce Gardner) with the fourth pick, then come back and grab Wilson at tenth overall. Not bad. Wilson will now be paired with Elijah Moore, Corey Davis and Denzel Mims on the Jets depth chart. If he can prove strong enough to beat press coverage and the Jets are creative enough to get him the ball in space, he should fly up the depth chart rather quickly. His long-term dynasty value is going to be tied to the development of Zach Wilson, which is moderately terrifying. However, Wilson has shown enough on tape to be a high-ceiling dynasty pick in the top three or four in rookie drafts this off-season.
