Commanders Mock Draft 4.0: Another Carson Wentz Dream
58. . Wide Receiver . Washington Commanders. Garrett Wilson. 11. player
Ohio State’s Garrett Wilson is without a doubt a top-two wide receiver in his class. Regardless of how you look at guys like Chris Olave and Treylon Burks, the 6-foot, 192-pound Austin, Texas native will be a star at the next level.
Wilson’s polished technique as a route-runner, his immaculate play in space, ability to win in contested catch situations and his overall production leads me to believe that the Commanders would fall in love with a prospect like Wilson opposite of Terry McLaurin.
Like his teammate, Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson has no weakness in his game, and is actually better after the catch than his Buckeyes teammate. In fact, Wilson forced the 15th-most missed tackles last year among qualified WR’s, while grading out in the upper 90th-percentile in terms of grade against man coverage.
Garrett Wilson would immediately provide a three-level pass catching threat that fits well not only within Scott Turner’s Air Coryell offense, but his skillset vibes well with the skillset of Commanders quarterback, Carson Wentz.
