This may be overly optimistic, but I'm hoping that with the right coaching Wilson can be our Aldon Smith.

Wilson's measurables are absolutely freakish. The only downside I see on paper is he's a bit lighter than Smith. He might have to add about 10 lb's on his frame to make the move permanently. |
