Wilson w/ 4.9. Ouch.

This is accurate. That time gonna hurt him bad. He has good size but that ain't gonna get it done. It wouldn't hurt him so bad if he was more polished, but he doesn't catch the ball with his hands well or use his height like he should. I wish and hope the best for him but his overall showing didn't help him any.

I said it before he announced, but if he gets a single first down next year in an NFL regular season game it'll be more than I anticipated. Love what he did for State but he screwed himself here and I hate it for him. He needs time more than any WR I can think of.

He's never been an outrun you receiver. He's a receiver that comes up with the football in a crowd, no matter how big the crowd is. I say he gets drafted. The 40 time doesn't help him obviously, but I also don't think it hurts him that much.

[blacklistedbully]

Is it, in fact, too late for him to ask the NCAA to let him rescind his decision to make himself available for the draft and come back?

He may not get appreciably faster, but he could improve his vertical, make an even better name for himself as a possession receiver, and maybe even see if he could become a TE (yes, I know 1 year is not much time). If nothing else, coming back gives him at least a chance to not be at the bottom next year.

It's not just his 40 time. He's just not polished in other areas the nfl looks at as well. If it was just his time that would be one thing. He doesn't catch the ball with his hands well, he doesn't use his height to his advantage and he's not a great route runner. And to Bear's credit he's come a long way just to be playing football the last 4 years or so. I hope like heck he's successful but with the all these things combined, its not good.

Wonder if a move to Tight End is a possibility?

These are the main issues. He doesn't extend his hands away from his body to catch the ball. His catch radius is small for a big WR. People keep saying "possession guy" and speed doesn't matter as much, but that's not the case here unfortunately. I hate to say it, but if I'm an NFL GM he's not getting a roster spot on my team until he learns to catch with his hands away from his body. I'm concerned he won't be drafted.

My feeling is that he's better than he's showing at the combine. I have no idea how much the combine figures in draft decisions. I'm not well enough up on the board to say whether he'll be drafted. I believe he can play, and I hope he does well. I know that I've seen him make some catches that most receivers wouldn't make. From last season, his touchdown at the front right corner of the end zone stands out in my mind, but there are others as well.

He may just be having a bad mental week. Maybe he's not dealing with the pressure of the combine as well as others. If that's true, it doesn't say much about his overall future prospects.

I love Bear and he's made some big catches for us, especially on the slant. But I believe he's a possession receiver ... he can't really stretch the field vertically. Add to that that his high jump sorta confirmed what I've wondered which is ... why over the course of 2 years I can think of only one catch he made in the back corner of the end zone. Some of that was on Dak tho but Cyrus Jones was able to keep him from catching the ball up high in back corner if I recall correctly. Cyrus can jump, but he shouldn't be able to get up as high as Bear.

Ever since I saw him blocking for the first time I said that his NFL position would be a tight end.

That's kinda where I think he'll wind up, although he better increase his speed maybe even for TE. When D linemen are outrunning you, that ain't good.
