Chargers take Johnston

Kevin White 2.0?

Kevin White 2.0?

That grandma medallion is worth at least 1 TD

Poles traded the #1 pick for DJ Moore and Darnell Wright. 2 positions of need.

Not bad.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

Slightly higher ceiling, albeit at left tackle, but much lower floor.

Wright has exceptional technique and his hands are great. Jones' technique is an absolute mess. The difference between the two is night and day. Maybe Jones cleans all that up but Wright is already there.

And what do the Bears do if Braxton is injured?

With Broderick Jones, the Bears move him to LT and fill RT with Tevin.

Wright sucked in 2021 playing LT, so he is not an option. Do you really want to move Tevin to LT?

Not bad, could have been great.

Darnell Wright is one of the most polished pass protectors in the 2023 NFL Draft. This detailed scouting report gives a glimpse at what the Tennessee star could be in the NFL.

Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee: 2023 NFL Draft Scouting​

Strengths

•Pass-Blocking Technique – Darnell Wright flashed flawless fundamentals in 2022. He displayed impeccable footwork, using lateral agility to stifle pass rushers off the edge. Wright also possesses a strong anchor and hands, allowing him to sink into the turf against power rushers and hand-fight with anybody.

@vegasbear and @Bears_Almighty

Can you guys see the link ok.

Kevin White 2.0?

Some teams better at coaching up

And still plenty to come.

And still plenty to come.

What's noticeable to me is that Poles hasn't had his media hit yet. Might not be done tonight.

He seems very willing to wheel and deal.

Ravens take Flowers

 

[remydat]

Ravens got Zay Flowers.

 

[Nelly]

Ravens take Flowers

+ OBJ (if he can stay healthy) is a nice upgrade to Lamar's weaponry.

Wright also possesses a strong anchor and hands, allowing him to sink into the turf against power rushers and hand-fight with anybody.

Weaknesses

•Inconsistent Leverage – When Wright gets beat, it is because of inconsistent leverage. As quick as he is off the snap, Wright plays too tall as he engages with his assignment. For a player with such a lanky profile, he must clean up this area or savvy pass rushers will eat him alive.

•Run Blocking – Wright is a top-tier pass protector from day one, but he is a work in progress in the run game. While displaying powerful hands and above-average athleticism for the position, Wright frequently lacks proper balance. He gets ahead of his feet too often, allowing defenders to shrug him off and make a play on the ball.

•Bad Tape at LT – Wright did not perform well in the first half of 2021. He ended the season with six straight games not allowing a sack, giving some optimism for his potential at left tackle. However, most of the tape was inconsistent and featured several drive-killing penalties. Teams will be hesitant to use a first-round pick if Wright is viewed as a right tackle-only prospect by them.

Great! The Bears used a RT at 10 who cannot play LT, nor can he run block.

 

[dennehy]

Flowers is my favorite WR. Not a great fit though for him, really.

Your trying to hard now. Wright was a good pick. Get over it

You know anyone can write a post for fan-sided, and you are taking it like some kind of NFL war room scouting report.

People's ability to assess information is a big part of why we are where we are as a society.

 

[Les Grossman]

As if Geno Smith wasn't already spoiled with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett...

I’m a big fan of horizon at certain positions. Lockett is probably getting close to being done

You are counting like a little bitch because the first half of his 2021 tape was bad. Just stfu already and take a minute to let it sink in.

Turned out Lamar did OK without an agent.
