Mark Wilson set to sign

Lower-round picks tend to be a bit shorter in length. Derrick Dockery, a 3rd rounder, got a three year deal if I remember correctly (the 'Skins wanted him for 4 years).

Or you can look at it another way. Either Mark Wilson's agent thinks Wilson has the potential to be better than a 5th rounder's salary and so he wanted a short term deal, or the 'Skins don't think that much of him and so they signed him to a shorter deal.

Many (if not most) later round picks are usually signed to a 3 year deal, which makes them a restricted FA when the contract expires. That way, the team has the right to match any offers, or get an equivalent draft pick if they don't. But, I'm sure everyone knows how all that works after last year!
