Cedrick Wilson, like D.J. Moore, is one of the most productive receivers in the country. The second generation receiver was a high school quarterback before making the move to the outside, going the community college route and then Boise State.

The areas that really stands out with Wilson are his ability to track the football and then finding ways to go and get it. High pointing, diving, each around defenders, he just seems able to find the ball and haul it in. It often looks like it’s in slow motion with how easily he can catch the football even with defenders around him.

Wilson is really lean, having a good amount of muscle without really looking like it. He has the room to add weight, but he’s probably always going to look thin. It’ll be interesting to see how Wilson tests because so much of his game seems predicated on the deep ball. He was fantastic in the Senior Bowl week at being able to use route running to create separation and open up opportunities to make plays deep but that will be more difficult against NFL defensive backs. It’s not that he can’t run underneath routes but so much of Boise State’s offense was heaving it to him down the field.

Wilson has some questions but he is such a savvy, technically sound receiver that he’s worth the pick, especially this late. His game is probably fueled in part by doubts of people assuming he was ordinary and passing him over or assuming they could stop him only to have him dominate on the field. Wilson is just a really good receiver with the production to back it up headed into the NFL.
