But he hasn't really shown anything different than what was discussed foe why he dropped, imo |

I watched it, but don't recall this. That's a good sign. My main impression is coming from watching his returns and I think you'd agree that he hasn't beem very dynamic doing that. I'll admit I didn't analyze every play he had, but my general reaction was that he doesn't look as fast as I thought he'd be. Clearly I need to pay closer attention!

That reason is he's raw and he needs a good season of NFL conditioning.
He doesn't fight worth a $3it off the snap and he's not full body strong. That will come with time and a real season of NFL prep will do him wonders. He's smart and he works hard. He'll be a huge weapon in the future...

Like you said, he doesn't have that "wiggle". That suddenness to him that i was expecting, considering his measurables. However, as DJ pointed out, he had a mediocre cone drill, which could be indicative of that.

I think he has some other traits that the team can really benefit from and i think he can still be productive in this league, im just saying me expectations have been lowered a bit is all. I don't think he'll ever be a #1.

Again, being that big is going to make it tough for him to be very "sudden and quick". He looks a little stiff in the hips, but I just don't know that he's ever going to look sudden

Wilson has been through some wars out there - he's more likely to win the hand fights and know the tricks he needs to do with his feet/hips to find space before the chuck. Conley doesn't know that yet. Moreover, he's probably just not strong enough yet to win on a lot of those one on one matchups. However, if you put him in the slot, he already has a little more space and he can use some inertia and size/leverage to keep DBs off him. For this season, Conley is probably better used like the Giants used Cruz in his breakout 'rookie' year. He was used almost exclusively out of the slot that season and it helped him find space downfield. As we go forward and Conley gets stronger and more used to the rigors of NFL defenses, he can move outside and Wilson can move to the slot. Right now (and likely all season), Wilson is better at the X with Conley in the slot.

He was drafted as a speedy project. And he's never been a return man, that definitely shows. He's clueless back there honestly. May be doing more harm than good to even put him back there imo. but that's what you need from your bench WRs, ST and return guys.
I'm still hopeful he develops into a starting X quality WR, but with a lot of missed TC time, it may not happen this year, certainly not early in the year. Can still help as the 4 wide stretch out the defense guy right now though. |

I think he caps out as a good #2. I was hoping he could develop into a #1, but i don't believe he has the quickness to reliably get open.

At his size, I don't really think he has to be in the mold of a smallish wr (Antonio brown, etc). So I agree with you, in a sense. I'd like to see him in the Vincent Jackson type role/player. |

I can think of 5 teams off the top of my head moving big vets to the slot this year. If you have a legit TE it's a matchup nightmare. Years of Gonzo/Jimmy Gram have taught teams that a physical presence inside isn't a luxury, it's a necessity...
