I haven’t really found many glaring weaknesses like some others have. for example Paris has a technical floor that could get him buried. His arms start so wide, it’s like he’s going to hug the DE. A strong arm into his chest, and he’s in reverse at a rate of knots. That is coachable though. Paris also has a high floor as an OG, which he played a full season at.

Daniel Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I’m a Tennessee fan and homer all day long, but I would not want to take Darnell hoping to slide him to LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically speaking, I'm pretty sure you're talking about the same thing that the Packers' OL are taught and fans complain about the OL holding on every play.

On 3/31/2023 at 3:36 PM, Superduperman said: Furthermore, compare/contrast him with Steve Avila? The Lions have met with both and I feel like one of them is ending up in blue and silver Zavala's impressively athletic for his size. He moves well into the second level and has a pretty quick set. Great size and looks like he has long arms. Tested really well. The main drawbacks are that he's not especially powerful on contact and he doesn't anchor quite as well as it looks like he should. That'll most likely improve. Avila has a quicker first step and a better initial punch but he's not really a monster at the poa either. He's not as good of an athlete as Zavala. He generally anchors better. He's also played a season at center and looked good there as well as guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy for him and for sticking it out with a new coach. Seems to have paid off for him. I just watched him yesterday for the first time and dug into him. I'd be thrilled to land him at 15 and put him in front of Love for the next 5+ years at RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter2_1 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 In 2019 as a freshman Wright saw action in 11 games and played a total of 360 snaps for the Volunteers. He allowed a solid 6 QB hurries, 3 QB hits, and 2 sacks while playing most of his snaps at right tackle. As a sophomore in 2020 he played in 10 games and a total of 569 snaps. He conceded a solid 9 QB hurries, 5 QB hits, and 5 sacks while playing most of his snaps at right tackle. In 2021 as a junior Wright saw action in 13 games and totaled 922 snaps. He gave up 13 QB hurries, one QB hit, and 3 sacks while playing at left tackle. In 2022 as a senior Wright saw action in 12 games and played a total of 829 snaps for the Volunteers. He allowed a solid 5 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and no sacks while playing at right tackle. mostly at RT by far. He has a lot of college experience. Good prospect, for me.

Hunter2_1 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 It’s just one ex-coach’s opinion (a very good OL coach fwiw) but Scarnecchia doesn’t seem keen on Wright in the top 20. One positional and lack of athleticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there's a drop-off. I really really like the top of the OT class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techbert Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I dunno if Wright is a natural RT, or if he is just a slow but steady learner. I think he will be in the league for a long time but not a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterCallSaul Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Darnell Wright is literally Ereck Flowers as a prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
