I finally finished watching Wilson tape.
He gets compared to a lot of guys like Mahomes, Manizel, Favre, and Rodgers, and rightfully so but he's better than those guys as a prospect but he doesn't have those guys potential either due to just having solid arm strength but he does have tremendous RPMs on the ball like the player he's closest to as a prospect, Baker Mayfield. He's a high-level passer who has elite arm talent, who's pretty good in a clean or messy pocket.
Both Baker and he have a 1st round grade and Baker was my unquestionable 1st overall pick in his class while Wilson is tied for 3rd in this class, that's pretty damn good considering this is the best QB class since 1983.

Mayfield v. Wilson - Same overall grade as prospects-
Mayfield - Better size due to bulky frame, composure, leadership, plays within himself more, stronger, feel for the game, doesn't throw at his 1st option anywhere near as much as Wilson.
Wilson - Faster, arm talent, ball placement, overconfident (good and bad), playmaking, height, body control on the move.
Similarities - Accuracy, arm strength, footwork, throwing outside of the pocket, Football IQ, scorers although we have seen Mayfield develop into a shooter who can score in the NFL, and both have elite college tape.
Wilson like Mayfield will have a lot of good and bad as a rookie. Wilson will likely have more success early on due to his playmaking in year 2/3 but long term, things will even out. Both players have Pro Bowl potential with All-Pros being a possibility.
I can see why a lot of scouts like Wilson more than Fields. That said, for me, Fields' floor is just much higher even if his ceiling isn't as high as Wilson long term. Lance is better than both long-term and it's not close. Short term, he needs some time so I clearly see why some will value Wilson and Fields over Lance but overall, Lance has it all.
