Ok, well if its just the cherry picking hindsight game, I'll take Aaron Rodgers, Calvin Johnson, JJ Watts, Von Miller, Patrick Peterson, and Kuechly.

No one would have taken Wilson over Griffin, no one. That he played well is a testament to his ability and confidence, but to say you would rather have him is just a meaningless discussion. What if Wilson had gotten banged by Aldon Smith and Griffin had gone out of bounds and never taken that Ngata hit. Would you still want Wilson. It's a dumb discussion even for early offseason talk. Wilson was passed on by several qb starved teams because his pre draft stock (mainly his height) didn't make him attractive earlier, and several teams were looking at him right around where he was picked (including the Redskins according to reports).

Let me ask it this way, suppose the Skins take Griffin and Wilson in the draft instead of Cousins, do you think Wilson beats out Griffin in training camp? The answer isn't just no, its not in a million years no.
