I know, you think they'd struck oil or something. They're going nuts.

I am happy with today. Be practically drafted a new offense and picked up our safety.

Broaddus has been saying the team likes this guy A LOT. No surprise.

Smother defense...

Wide Open fast break offense....

Maybe...just maybe...

I thought they would have picked a DT by now but it sounds like Short and Logan went right before they could take them. I think they take a RB in the 4th, but if they haven't taken a DT by then Monte Kiffen will be baking a cake with a file in it for Josh Brent.

OVERVIEW
A handful of prospects switch positions during their career. An even smaller number change positions twice. Finally, a very small minority flips sides of the field, switching from offense to defense. Wilcox is one of these prospects, and that transition didn;t take place until his senior year. Moving from receiver to slotback to safety takes a special kind of athlete, but Wilcox's physical attitude stands out as the reason for the seamless move.


Wilcox started four of eight games in 2009, missing three due to an injury. He caught 16 passes for 179 yards that season. As a sophomore, Wilcox moved from receiver to slotback and rushed for 484 yards and six touchdowns on 85 carries. He used the same receiving skills to catch 22 passes for a whopping 551 yards and three touchdowns. That season he started 14 of 15 games. As a junior in 2011, Wilcox started eight of 13 games and recorded 480 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 52 carries. He only lost a single yard on a carry all season. Wilcox added seven catches for 168 yards and a touchdown. FInally, after transitioning to safety, Wilcox started 13 of 14 games and made 88 total tackles and three pass breakups. Wilcox also returned kicks for Georgia Southern, taking 31 attempts for 780 yards and one score.

Last 2 picks have been B+ to A picks. Escobar is a B pick....bit of a reach considering our needs. Hated our 1st round pick.

Don't like the pick.

He's so raw how is he going to make an immediate impact?

He played 4 different positions in college!

Love this pick. I'm high on his potential, just not sure how much he'll contribute this year.

Yay defense (has no idea who this is)

Raw safety prospect that can hit and has hands like a receiver (he used to play WR). Only reason he wasn't taken earlier is because he only has one year starter experience, but even in that one year, he showed natural instincts (that AOA never could) and played at a very high level. Great pick. Could be a huge steal.

And if I'm reading correct, just 1 year at safety

If Mayock likes Wilcox, y'all should listen. The guys knows his DB's.
