incognito_man Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Started getting into the OTs tonight. I think I like Darnell Wright more than any of them. What am I missing? He looks like a top 5-10 guy to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing? He looks like a top 5-10 guy to me. Struggled at LT, feet are just OK, length is just adequate. When he gets his hands on a guy, it's over. Just depends on your type. Dancing bear he is not, but a gap scheme RT? He's the best I've seen in a few years. Don't think he's GBs type though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing? He looks like a top 5-10 guy to me. He's at minimum the 2nd best OT in the class. BUT the class isn't top heavy. I like Jones' upside IF he figures it out. He needs a lot of work though because he's a mess technically. He was able to make it work most of the time due to his athleticism but when he lost it was really ugly.

I thought he had elite length? Over 34" arms I thought I saw. And I thought his feet looked kinda nifty actually. That looked like a plus for him at RT anyway. I wish we had agility numbers for him.

He moves REALLY well, and then you realize he's 330 and it's like WTF. He recovers really, really nicely, and he's actually pretty crafty with his hand fighting, too. One area where he needs work is in space, but it's due to the fact that he goes full tilt and overruns his blocks a lot because he's trying to murder people. Once he reels that in and plays under control, he's going to be a nightmare in space. Edited April 1, 2023 by MaximusGluteus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nifty is a good word for his footwork. He's not a dancing bear type like Jones or Johnson, but he's good for a 330 pounder. This is what you're drafting Wright for, watch him hit that LB with violence. In a lot of ways Wright is like Washington the TE from Georgia to me. Not really feeling it at 15, would love him at 45 but that's a pipe dream. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine having him in front of Love for the foreseeable future and then trade Yosh to recoup the cash and some draft capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else he could start at RG on day 1 and then slide over to RT once Bakh moves on and Tom takes over at LT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about OL play, but when I watch Darnell Wright it makes me want him in my OL room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Jenkins did go where OL prospects go to die in Chicago. I had a mid 20s grade on Jenkins too, though aren't some of his NFL struggles medical related?

I could see a scenario in which we don't like the offensive players available at 15, trade into the low twenties and take Wright. 45 seems unlikely for him as of now though.

ThatJerkDave Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I don't like taking RBs in the first. But if Jahmyr Gibbs is there in the second, I am all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade down 5 spots if JSN is gone and take Bijan, he a once a decade RB talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
