Overview

Wilkerson is an elite 3-4 defensive end prospect with idea size, excellent shedding ability and the athleticism to pursue from the backside and rush the passer. Jolts offensive lineman at the point of attack, can beat the double team, finds the football and makes plays against the run. Does not have rare first-step quickness but can take a direct line through blockers to pressure the quarterback and has range against the run. Despite size, is a three-down guy who plays with a high effort level for four quarters. Wilkerson’s stock has risen quickly and he could come off the board in the middle of round one.

Pick Analysis: Rex Ryan’s defense has been dominant without the presence of a stellar interior front. However, the addition of Wilkerson gives the Jets a versatile defender with the size, strength and athleticism to provide a pass-rush presence as a three- or five-technique. He has yet to reach his potential, but he possesses the physical skills to be an all-star in their scheme.
