All the people hating on Wilson are the same people who hated on Prince as well. The expectation of rookie players from some of you is way too high. Give them time to develop
People who hated on prince are idiots. 1. He was hurt. 2. He plays a position that takes time to transition to the nfl.Wilson on the other hand is a running back. If you are taking a rb in the first round, you absolutely should make an impact on offense from day 1. Otherwise, you should not have been drafted in the first round. first round rbs are not a position that you are supposed to wait to develop. They are supposed to be impact players on offense.
Rb along with lb is the easiest transition from college to pros. Additionally these two positions are among the least valuable. Therefore, if you play one of these two positions and are drafted in the first round, you damn well better see the field from day 1. If you don't then you are a waste of a first round pick because the team is supposed to be getting high end production on your rookie contract (aka bang for your buck). Slow developing rbs can be taken in late rounds and even undrafted. The investment of a first round pick on a low value position means the team needs production from the getgo. Because of this, David Wilson is among the worst ever of Jerry Reese's picks.
