2017 NFL Draft: Chicago Bears Early Seven-Round Mock
Florida cornerback Jalen “Teez” Tabor has received most of the headlines and is a potential top five pick. But he has a teammate at the same position who may be just as good. Snagging Quincy Wilson in the fourth round of this mock draft is an absolute steal.
Wilson has emerged as a big-time playmaker for the Florida defense this season and he is sure to rise up draft boards in the coming months. Wilson is a bit of an unknown right now, but I’d be shocked if he is a Day 3 prospect in the draft come April.
Wilson is a long and athletic cornerback who shows great coverage skills on the outside. He does not possess elite-level speed for the position, but he is certainly fast enough to get the job done. He is a natural in coverage, showing the ability to dominate in man-to-man and play his role well in a zone. Also, Wilson shows fantastic ball skills. He is an absolute turnover machine and can make plays when the ball is in his hands.
Snagging him in the fourth round is an absolute steal. The Bears have serious issues in their defensive backfield and Wilson would be a guy who could come in and make an immediate difference. This is a perfect situation where best player available meets a major need.
