Worth the upside.

Love this pick. Kid is very smart, athletic. He can wear the green dot.

Medical say he’s a one contract player but Steelers are very familiar with no ACL players…Hines Ward, Greg Lloyd…

Great value at this spot!!

Wilson is a great pick all by himself.

But he's going to allow Queen to just play. He can take the play calling and let Queen just run and hit.

Even if he doesn't start right away I'd expect him to be sub package linebacker on some passing downs sooner than later.

Is there a cap on how many Wilsons you can have on one team?

Daniel Jeremiah said it was his favorite pick of Day 2. He had a first round grade on him and said that he was worth the risk.

Not too shabby.

I get the question and medical concerns with the kid.

But you just drafted a potential first round impact at like pick 100. What’s not to like?

We can all reach into our memories and come up with “injury concern@ guys that panned out.

Heath Miller
Hines Ward
Darnell Washington

I’m sure there’s others.

Now why did you have to go and spoil the good vibes?

I'll be shocked if the kid isn't a homerun.

He's the player you see falling all day and saying....he's the best player on the board by a mile.

He's a no-brainer. Damn the medical reports. Just put him on the field and watch what he can do.

Rob Gronkowski is one of the biggest injury concern home runs of all time

The Bengals used to have a lot of Johnsons.

The bottom line is we got 2 Wilson’s for 1 Pickett. Sweet deal!!
