Aren't you still working on your "13" personnel set?

Watch film. He has great awareness and instincts. I think he looks like a legit strong safety that has the physcial tools to be able to cover as well, even though that's not the strong side of his game.

We have had guys here for YEARS that flat didn't have the physcial ability to run and cover. Roy williams, Lynn Scott, keef Davis, Hamlin, McCray and the list goes on.

Wilcox can run and he shows great awareness in coverage and is very good coming down and tackling. After what we've had at safety, im happy to get one that at the very least has the physcial tools to do the job, as sad as that is.
I don't think his highlights look any better than a guy like Hamlin or Roy was at the Pro level. Those guys flamed out quick because they couldn't handle the coverage aspect.

And that's assuming he doesn't bust. I think Wilcox has upside, but he's got a loooooong way to go. He's a project at this point.
