I'm kind of in the state of mind that next man up will work in this offense with other high-level players on the same field.

Sample being the outlier of course.

He was used more as a blocker but didn't really do a whole lot when the opportunity was given as a receiver. 

Let's just sit back and see what Wilcox can actually do before debating his worth. 

I get that, but Mitchell not dominating in college (he was a solid TE in a weaker conference) nor having a highly athletic profile makes me skeptical he's going to blossom into a good dual-threat or receiving TE in the NFL. If people are mainly just talking as a blocker, that's ok, but it kind of limits his ceiling in the NFL and makes it more predictable what the team will do if/when he's in.
If he ends up proving wrong then great, but he hasn't really trended that way yet through his almost 3 seasons out of college.
