Quick Take:
Undersized, athletic linebacker who needs more functional strength to excel at the NFL level. Should be kept outside in a 4-3 or 3-4 and used situationally in search of a pass rush. Cannot be uncovered, as he lacks the strength and hand work to shed blocks. He is somewhat raw and has upside with his recognition and instincts, and he does a good job of getting to the point of attack in a hurry to clean up after his DL. Solid tackler.
Where He Goes in the Draft:
Bottom of the 5th round.
What is Denver's Interest In Him?
Medium.
LB talent plateaus after the 4th round, and Wilson represents one of the more raw candidates in that grouping. has a good attitude for STs, but likely won't be able to put any pressure on anyone for a starting job. #186 is the earliest Denver may consider him.

[Note: All players in the table are ranked by overall grade within their round grouping, however, the round groupings are based on where this player will likely be drafted based on where teams are currently selecting in the draft. Therefore a player is ranked within a group by his level of ability, but players in nearby groupings may have higher or lower actual grades, despite being in a different group.
