Very fair. I just meant the the player himself, not taking any other variables into account.

I am guilty of hating on the Wormley pick for several reasons. Notable among them, and definitely foremost among them is that we passed on Kareem Hunt.
However, I've been contemplating and attempting to critically analyze the pass rush and the pass rushers for the ravens 2018 season and I am really beginning to reshape my opinion of him. I mean, so far as his ability to get after and pressure a quarterback specifically. (I won't even touch him as a run defender).

Not a ton of involvement in the play here but notice; eyes always in the backfield...protects the edge and note how powerful his rip move is as he just tosses aside the Penn State tackle.

Here we see him lined up over a guard and see the same traits manifested. Eyes in the backfield..he knows where the quarterback is and where he's likely to step because he is so good at engaging while spying the ball. We see powerful hands rip and shed defender and then he finds QB and finishes.

I love this. Here he lines up over the guard and beats him INSIDE with a very good swim move. The fact that he is held likely keeps him from making the sack. I believe he is best used inside on passing downs.
Below is the play immediately after.

He feins inside, swats away the guards hands, then swims with his left, beats him OUTSIDE and gets a hit on the quarterback.
He is a very heady football player that is always chasing the play, always hustling.

It was extremely difficult for me to find him in action against pro lineman, but here we see the same displaying of play and backfield recognition, along with a powerful discarding of a blocker in order to find the QB.

Im impressed at how he plays the run from the 5 tech and I believe he will be disruptive, most particularly inside head up on a guard. I'm much more optimistic about our ability to get pressure up the gut with a rotation of Wormley, Urban and Henry than I am about having Pierce and Brandon Williams inside rushing the quarterback.

Or they both become unimportant like 99% of 6th round picks
Wilson was nice but also overrated. There wasn't a dominant trait in his game and he just looks like a solid 3, which is what I've been saying for quite a while.
I remember one play where he was lined up outside of Penn, the play was very short but he engaged Penn and completely blew his pass set to push him 2 yards back on first contact. That looked special.
