Our coaches did not appear to have a lot of faith in our backup safeties (Smith, Fejedelem) last year. They barely played any snaps on defense except when someone was injured, and we even played Shaw some at safety.
If Wilson is even close to Smith or Fejedelem as a safety then his return skills might win him a roster spot.
And once they start practicing it doesn't matter where they were drafted. We got Iloka at the very end of the 5th round. Not that much different from Wilson in the 6th.
You never can tell which of these late round guys are going to blossom in the NFL, but there are always some that do.
