Overall:
Wiley is one of the most underrated prospects in this entire draft. He quietly made play after play after play for Michigan State this past year and got little credit from any major draft site. To this moment he is still being underrated, by most except for this draft expert. Wiley spent his Sophmore and Junior years as a FS but during his senior year moved to SS. No matter where they put him he made plays. He is a field general out there directing his defense and is a sure tackler on the second level. His best attribute though may be his instincts. He reads the QB and jumps routes consistently. One place Id like to see Wiley improve at is in the box Run Support. He's also not even a good blitzer, and his speed may keep him at SS permanently in the NFL. He's also a little raw having only played one year at SS.

Sounds like he'd be a steal in the 5th where I'm hoping we might get him...

I like this guy, very nice catch Mystic.

Watch him run a 4.5 40 at the combine and move up the boards. A 4.56 isn't horrible....after watching him play a couple of times, I think he actually is fast enough to play FS. Play reading ability makes up for a slight lack of speed quite easily.

Jim Leonhard is starting at FS for the Ravens at the moment. I think he's about 5'8" and runs about a 4.6 40. He's making plays all over the place on his instincts.
