None. College kids spend at most 20 hours a week on football, and very little of that is on technique.
And if you actually watch multiple games, there are instances of Wilson starting to try moves.
So trash that he actually had a higher pass rush win rate than Anderson by a big margin and was a First Team All American.
You're getting into the land of nonsense when you overly criticize a player for their shortcomings and miss out on their strength.
Man you're acting like a guy is getting hyped from nowhere. He was literally one of the best players in college football and his play style is exactly what the NFL wants.
If you read the few scouts who aren't gaga over Anderson their criticism is that they think he might not have enough power because he isn't super bendy. That's why the Wright film is concerning because you see him against a legit NFL prospect and Wright beats him by completely taking away the bull rush.
The foundation of a pass rush is being able to bull rush. Guys like Von Miller don't rely on the speed rush. Dennis Gardeck relies only on the speed rush. Bull rush is more important because it is how other moves can really be built upon.
If they have no time to work on these things how come plenty of other guys in the class are far superior in that respect? Very few have a tonne of moves, Ojulari probably has the most, but they pretty much all have more than long arm and bullrush. They all have far superior hands to Wilson and they all have far superior get offs. There's no excuse for that other than Wilson can't do it or he hasn't been trying.
The biggest thing for me is his get off. This is super basic stuff for an edge player. It's Edge play 101 from the first day of high school ball. If you are playing Edge the most basic way to win, to have any chance of winning at all, you have to get your get off right. It's a huge red flag for me that it's so bad. I was going to say "Probably the worst I've seen" but I'd be lying. It's definitely the worst. It's bad out of a 2 point stance and even worse out of 3 and 4.
So the question that keeps popping into my head is this. If he hasn't bothered to fix his get off (among other things) in several years of high school and college football how is he suddenly going to learn all these things at the NFL level? It's hard even for guys with good skill sets to make it in the NFL. How is Wilson going to cope with finding that his size and power are no longer a huge advantage and everything else is way off where it needs to be?
His higher win rate this year is due to poor quality competition. And it's always with power. If he comes up against a guy that can handle that such as 317lb Tyree Robinson for OU he has absolutely nothing else.
Maybe he will be a good NFL player but it's a huge gamble. There is nothing there outside his natural physical attributes that says "I'm a top 10 pick". He may have a high ceiling, but he also has a low floor.
For me, guys with a floor that low shouldn't go top 20. He's way behind nearly every edge prospect in this class in everything that he wasn't born with.
You admit yourself he has a lot to learn. With that in mind do you think he's a year 1 starter? I don't see anything more than situational player for at least a year and I'm not sure why you draft that guy top 10.
Everyone should watch this film and see how many bad get offs you can count. He might be the last to get off on every single snap. The first snap is absolute dog ****. Slow and false steps. I don't even like his sack on the 2nd snap. His get off his bad. He completely bites on the PA which would normally take him out of the play and he only wins due to coverage, raw power and bad blocking from, erm, Marquise Hayes.
But it's a good example of a sack that wouldn't happen in the NFL.
