I think that would be too much of an overpay. But still take a lesser offer

It would be negligence for Carolina to not fully evaluate each top QB prospect. Doesn't mean they're drafting.

I have seen several people say that scouting Tennessee is hard due to their unique offense and it is hard to get a feel on exactly what Wright can or cannot do because he was never asked to do a lot of different things. Not saying he can, but at the least it is something he can be trained up on since he is not practicing it, unless he really is physically unable to at a high level. He has a 9.47 RAS score so i don't think that is the case.
Edit: He didn't have any agility testing but his 40 and 20 yard split ranked very high.

I hope you’re right that it was due to him playing so heavy. If he were able to lead pull, he’d be a viable cog in the Bears’ scheme. So, it is less about him being able to handle his assignments in the box or even to hit the second level off of combo blocks, but it’s really how slow he runs on a backside to play side lead pull that is what kills him. It’d be tough drafting an OL in the first because you hope he can speed up.

If you're seeing it show up on tape maybe it's an issue then. I was under the impression that it was hard to find film of him pulling.

Rapp was one of the last young, ascending players out there.

You’d have to imagine TE is addressed in this draft. Kmet, Tonyan are both FA’s after this year. TE might be addressed even earlier than most think.

I know you are a guy that watches college ball and are on top of the incoming prospects. There’s no question there are a number of intriguing options this year. I think a guy like LaPorta might be a good get especially if he’s there in round 4.
This is interesting…

I think Kmet is going to get an extension. But they will most likely draft a TE. It's kind of an underwhelming class though. I would guess they'll wait 'til Day 3.

His name has been all over the board recently because he’s a real possibility at 9.

If by underwhelming you mean one of the better TE classes in recent memory, then yes that's correct

He's probably the first guy off the board who wasn't at the combine. I'm not going to act like I've seen any Sacramento St games, but he was at the Senior Bowl and had a really good week, creating a crazy amount of buzz, so the lack of combine invite was surprising.
But he's a hybrid guy. He's a Kyzir White type, or similar to the UDFA the Bears signed after cuts last year, Sterling Weatherford. He's a box safety in base D and a nickel LB, who probably needs to add 7-12lbs and be a full-time LB. He looks like a good downhill athlete with some coverage ability, was willing to take on blocks in Mobile. And he'll be one of your best core special teams players. So a versatile guy, but IDK how the Bears take him. He may be a round 4 guy and they certainly don't need any more special teams LB types. But from what I understand, he's a fun player.
