mountainpd Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Could be good if he sorts his head out. I wanted us to draft him as a Right tackle. hoping it was a very low pick swap instead of the Titans releasing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinSting Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Dolphins' starting RG Solomon Kindley was Wilson's college teammate on the beefy o-line at Georgia in 2019. Come on Kindley, help get this guy's broken career back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainpd Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) 7th round pick swap apparently so take it all day long for a nipper 1 year removed from a 1st round draft pick. Dolphins give up 2021 7th rounder, Titans give up 2022 7th rounder. I guess he was going to be released otherwise. Come in and compete at Right Tackle. Low risk, high reward. happy days.

Swampbilly Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Even if Wilson never ends up starting for us it’s a smart move by Grier. A 7th round pick swap to take a chance on a high ceiling low floor player. Wilson still has a great opportunity to become a good NFL Olineman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Great move. Low risk, high reward. Loved him as a prospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Very interesting, trading him for a 7th rounder then giving up a 7th rounder which is basically nothing and just a swap. Originally had a 4 year $11 mil + contract as a 1st round pick. Clearly that is why this all happened for so little, the Dolphins have to pay that contract now but most of that was signing bonus the Titans already paid in 2020. Curious if his former Georgia teammate Kindley vouched for him? Their HC went to the same high school as Wilson so that is another connection. Curious if they pass on the best OT in the draft in Sewell because of this or not. Really curious what they do, almost a clear thing they trade out of the pick unless they love Chase or DeVonta. Sucks for Sewell, he should not drop in the draft but this might mean he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerica Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Not expecting much but at that price it’s definitely worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerica Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Don't want to look too much into it but I figure this would rule out Sewell at 3. Unless they plan on trading Jackson away or looking to cut a vet. Jackson, Flowers, Davis, Hunt, Kindley, Wilson, possibly Karras, Dieter. If we trade down and Sewell falls, now that's another story.

Tetsujin Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Maybe Hunt gets kicked into G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I love this trade, the dude is only 22 years old. He has experience now at "being rejected", and hopefully has learned from that experience. If he gets his head screwed on straight, could be an above average RT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinsesq Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I am not expecting much out of him, he needs to prove he has the mentality to be a professional. Swapping 7th round picks to get him though, how do you not buy that lottery ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His rookie deal is really affordable with where we are in the cap I think we are looking at roughly 5 million over the next 3 years. I think it is well worth the role of the dice. Though for a guy with reported maturity issues South Beach might be the worst place to be. We should definitely find out sooner rather than later if this was a wake up call for him, though I am not hopeful. I suspect he will not last here, get cut, go unclaimed, then some team will give him one last shot and that will be the wake up call. I hope I am wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the contract is next to nothing, all things considered. His cap hit is on par with a backup or a special teamer. I have absolutely zero expectations from Wilson as a Fin, but a swap of 7th round picks is such a low price that this is a no-brainer. Flo and Kindley both have plenty of history to theoretically help this kid get back on track. But again, zero expecations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
