As we can see of any rookie LB drafted before him Mack Wilson has played the best, including better than Devin Bush. Obviously it's early but as I said heading into the draft I actually thought Wilson would need some time to adjust and really come on at the end of the year, and I still think that, but he has adjusted better than anyone else. He is a low end starter level player now who by the end of the year should grade out as an upper tier starter (Already better than any LB on our roster starting).

As Yang said, there are pundits who guess and evaluators who know what they are doing. Only problem is knowing who is which, I trust my scout sources and this was a case where they were 100% right.

I'm not surprised. There were some who had Mack Wilson ahead of Devin Bush. Wilson wasn't as fast but he was better in coverage than Bush.
I would have loved to have both Wilson and Pratt.
With that said, the Bengals may not have given Wilson many snaps up to this point just like they have with Pratt, but we'll never know.
