some more Darnell Wright hype:
Right tackles are just as important as left tackles. That's been the case for close to a decade now. Wright is 6-foot-5 and 333 pounds with nearly 34-inch arms, and he tested like an immaculate athlete despite that size. His film, to me, is cleaner than Johnson's and much cleaner than Jones. Wright's a pass-blocking wizard who can win at the point of attack with ferocious hand work, explosiveness, or sheer power. He's the best tackle prospect in the 2023 class.

Darnell Wright is the best OT prospect
Here's my theory on why Wright is typically being mocked after Ohio State's Paris Johnson and Georgia's Broderick Jones -- Wright played right tackle in school, and there's still a subconscious bias toward right tackles as lesser blockers. Johnson and Jones were left tackles at their respective schools.Right tackles are just as important as left tackles. That's been the case for close to a decade now.
