Overview
Wiley had a brilliant sophomore season that had scouts pining to see more, but was nowhere near that level as a junior. Wiley bounced back at the start of his senior season, showing rare elusiveness as a punt returner for a player his size and snaring four interceptions over his first four games in 2008. But struggles with groin and knee injuries over the second half of the year may have robbed him of the opportunity to ease concerns about his rollercoaster play. There is no denying that the three-year starter has the combination of size, athleticism, and penchant for the big play that scouts are looking for. Even so, with his most consistent season coming two years ago, teams could be hesitant to pull the trigger early on draft day.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
