The sense that I'm getting is that Blache wants us to use our 1st rounder on the best D-lineman on the board (even if it's a DT). I say do that and go for WR in the 2nd round to push Mix for a job in the WR rotation. There are usually very good WRs to be had in round 2, and competition will only make us stronger at our #3 WR position.
As for what would constitute a breakout, I would say 5+ TDs from Mix as a legit red-zone threat and 5+ sacks from Wilson as a 3rd down specialist.

Wilson had four sacks last year so he's right on the verge by your definition. Mix has a much tougher climb.
