Marco Wilson, Addition by Subtraction

[Harry]

I slammed this guy when he was drafted and continued to do so throughout his time with the Cards. The stats are out illustrating the league clearly understood how bad he was. I’m still stunned they kept rolling him out there though he never showed improvement. He was the king of cushion; a CB with no self-confidence.

Starling Thomas was targeted even more frequently?

Marco Wilson got caught in a change of scheme, but all our DBs got caught in the second-worst pass rush in the NFL last year.

Go figure.

The amount of piling on regarding a 4th round pick is kinda funny. I don't believe anyone is arguing he was good.

Why are we talking about him, the current coaching staff had the same opinion is the only thing of value here?

I had hope after year two, but he regressed badly and was virtually unplayable.

Another "Keim Time" draft day flop. I didn't like this pick either on draft day.

Harry's original take on Marco in his draft thread:

Forget BPA, this was a need pick. This is an outstanding athlete who should be an impact player, but simply isn’t. I don’t like the pick. I’ve seen a million of these guys where someone is sure they can take them and “fix” him. They can’t IMO. It looks to me like he lacks grit. He’s a poor tackler though his measurables say he should be solid. In coverage he loses track of his man too often when that man is headed deep. He doesn’t mirror well on short routes.

He is so athletic he sometimes stumbles into a good play but I’m not sure it’s intentional. It’s weird, he’ll celebrate a good play, like he’s competitive, but on the next play seem disinterested. Maybe he doesn’t like football. If he decided it was important to him he might become a player, but frankly I doubt it. What a waste of talent. I wish the Cards had a great mentor to pair with him, but I’m far from confident that would be enough.

2021 4th round pick is Marco Wilson CB

yep

most 4th rounders dont make it

I feel like Marco fell victim to some coaching hype -- looked promising early, the coaches told the media what a good player this is -- and then the league found his weaknesses

I do remember Harry’s post. The athletic talent gave me a false hope I carried throughout Wilson’s time with the Cardinals.

Who cares anymore?

Harry's original take was spot on. Hopefully with him gone and a revamped DB room, we'll be better this coming season.
