Had high hopes for Tyree Wilson, adding him to a lineup with Crosby and Jones was looking like a nice edge rush.
With Jones gone we have still not asked for much out of Wilson, and he still seems to be behind the 8ball. Has improved getting off the line but his football IQ just does not seem to be there.
By this point I would expect to see raw talent with lack of feel for the pro game. But neither has presented him self. Recently read his scouting report out of college and it was fairly accurate, slow off the ball, disappears at times…
Not much has been mentioned of him in pressers, or any mention of him working hard by coaches or Crosby when they have been asked. All in all disappointed to see his transition in the pros so far.
Hope the guy is just acclimating to his injury but seems like he’s lacking work ethic.

Right he’s not a hof player mid rookie season, he should be executed
He was a reach by a gm and coach who had a track record of not being able to evaluate talent. Horrible pick. A coach is one thing but I want a real gm this offseason
It’s interesting because I remember all these analysts saying he was a “top 10” talent.
Yet, somehow, when he was drafted, all those same analysts then started saying it wasn’t a good pick.
Probably because of the injury, but I still guarantee that none of them would have taken Wilson over Carter.
If I remember correctly, it came out either during or closely after the draft, that his surgery/recovery hadn’t gone well, which had put a bunch of teams off. Of course the “smartest guys in the room” thought otherwise, and here we are.
Yeah he’s not very good but people here usually get pissed if you say that
He’s Ferrell 2.0 we need to hit on our first rounders more. Too many disappointments
Jalen carter and Christian Gonzalez both available but we reach for the injured project. Classic raiders draft the past 20 years
It’s literally his first year where he was supposed to be a rotation guy at best because of his injury, chill
Yeah, he stinks. Lol cle was better and that’s saying something.
He’ll be better next year. Not to worried about it. Would it have been nice to have a break out rookie? Of course. But I don’t think one year defines a players outlook. Especially a player like Wilson. The injury is a real thing. If he’s hurt next year then you might have more solid ground to stand on.
It’s really odd us arm chair gms have been better talent evaluators than the professionals in the first round. Later rounds our department has done well, but they’ve missed on almost every 1st rounder
Yes Wilson was a reach, said it before week 1 I’ll say again now. Wilson coming off a foot injury and will not be 100% full speed. He’s going to struggle this year (and he did). Gotta give him the 3 to 4 years to fully develop. Kolton Miller’s rookie season was riddled with a knee injury from college the previous year. Took a season and a half to be 100% healthy. Got to give rookies time to develop.
3 to 4 years for the 7th overall pick to develop? Lmfao this team has destroyed our self esteem.
Our fanbase has created the “he wasn’t supposed to be good!” narrative, similar to what we had with Clelin Ferrel.
Being a Raiders fan is a pathological disorder complete with its own symptoms. I’ve named this one “First Round Bust Maladjustment Disorder”
Seriously though I’m expecting nothing from this dude. He can’t even seem to handle stopping to talk to the media, as pointed out by a couple of Raiders media beat people. The fact that Maxx speaks highly of so many other players on defense and never says a peep about Tyree. I’ll gladly eat crow if he suddenly starts playing like he belongs on a NFL team. But for now I’m chalking him up to yet another wasted 1st rounder.
I think Tyree Wilson as a prospect with an incredibly high ceiling and could develop into his potential.
I was pretty patient with Clelin Ferrel and Damon Arnette and Jonathan Abram. I’ll be patient with Tyree Wilson too and won’t just call him a bust because he hasn’t been producing in year 1. But still think we should have drafted Jalen Carter. Whether it’s Champ Kelley or someone else, whoever it is needs to make sure we draft for immediate impact and not for unrealized potential
I fully believe that he’ll be much better next year. This year is just him learning how to play, learning how the NFL is and how NFL OL are. I expect him to live up to his potential next year though
Just remember, questionable decisions like this by McFool helped get him fired. If they had managed to pick someone decent, McFool might still be the coach.
