Because we have Tony Gonzales, the threat is there in the two tight end set for a run or pass because of Gonzales ability to block for the run. Other teams who have a top receiving TE do not have the blocking ability to bluff the run play. They cannot input a FB into the passing game except as a screen pass because they would be too dependent upon them for protection. Name a half a dozen teams that could input Wilson into their system. Only by that mark could he be considered that high a pick. He would fail as the prototypical TE in the other systems because of his size and lack of blocking ability. He is only a high pick to the Chiefs, and the Chiefs upped the ante against themselves.

Lack of blocking ability? Walt Harris talks about the kid like he's the 2nd-coming.
Many, many teams use H-backs. The Minnesota Vikings had Wilson rated as a possible 2nd-rounder on their board according to Paul Allen (their Bob Gretz).
