He's a 3d rounder. Fight me!

If you’re looking for Alabama’s Mack Wilson, and I swear I don’t hate the Crimson Tide, he’s ranked as the 26th best linebacker because of his athleticism (50.9), production (37) and consistency (64) drag down a strong video grade of 74. It’s just hard to get excited about a prospect that fails to meet so many thresholds that most of the top NFL linebackers hit in college.
(He ran a 4.7 forty and was abysmal in all the drills)

Bruglar has him high but I don't know why as he says,
SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Alabama, Wilson took over as the full-time MIKE linebacker in Nick Saban’s 3-4 scheme as a junior and produced mixed results. He was pegged early on as the next first-round linebacker in the Alabama pipeline, but his development appeared stagnant throughout the 2018 season, not taking the expected steps in his growth as a player. Wilson is a good-sized athlete with the fluid movements, field range and ball awareness to make plays against the pass and the run. However, he needs to become more refined to be a reliable playmaker, projecting similarly to an inconsistent version of Colts’ linebacker Darius Leonard. Overall, Wilson’s wild play, undisciplined approach and lack of anticipation are holding him back, but he is an impressive size/speed/strength athlete with the versatile skill-set to develop into a true three-down NFL player.

Arif Hasan amassed a consensus Big Board denoting (people who simply project) and ( people who actually evaluate) and gave them a combined score. it's interesting stuff as some players vary wildly but Wilson comes in 55 on both mainly because of production. I wouldn't count on that production.
In fairness Burfict was about the same he worked out for a while anyway.
But I have 5 or 6 other LB's that I would easily take over him.
