Kyle Wilson's stock on the rise

Boise State cornerback Kyle Wilson's stock has seemed to be on the rise since a very good Pro Day performance in late March. But his stock may be rising even higher than anyone thinks.

Charles Robinson of Yahoo reported today that Wilson could be the first cornerback drafted, and that many teams like him better than Florida's Joe Haden.

Following up on Robinson's report, Michael Smith of ESPN tweeted that Wilson could go as high as seventh overall, where the Cleveland Browns are drafting.

Per Robinson, teams think Wilson is better than Haden in man coverage, has more lateral quickness and changes direction better.

Our last mock draft had Wilson going 19th overall. As draft day gets closer, his chances of going high in the first round appear to be getting better.

Funny - I just read all of those comments on twitter. Doesn't take the guys at PFT long to package them into a post.

Wilson may be a slightly better pure cover corner, but he's not as good in run support and probably won't fare as well against bigger wideouts. He isn't tall and has very short arms, which isn't a good combination.

Overall, I like Haden more. But I've also seen a lot more of him than Wilson.

I doubt he's right about the last part.
