I don't like that he has an average arm at best. He threw a ton of checkdowns and underneath routes at Arkansas. And often times when he did the ball was thrown behind the receiver on those patent shallow crosses that they abused.
I factored in a mild arm with inconsistent accuracy, and an inability to accurately hit a receiver downfield (consistently). He's a conservative player at heart.
The things I like about him are his toughness, he has experience against the best defenses in the nation, and he was able to adapt to a difficult environment once Petrino was gone.
His intangibles are what intrigues me more than anything else because his measureables and athletic ability is below average.
Before I did any work on Wilson I expected to watch a rocket arm. When I didn't see that, plus the other things factored in, I felt he was a 2nd round talent at best.
