Nashon Wright shouldn't have been taken at pick No. 99, he should have been taken sooner! I'm just preparing you for what football analysts will say this fall. The 6'4 rookie cornerback has made plays during minicamp. He has caught my attention in every practice I've witnessed, good or bad. Here's the bad: during his first rookie minicamp in individual drills Wright seemed uncomfortable with basic DB drills. I'm positive it was just his nerves because since rookie camp Wright has shined. Here's the good: Wright has an excellent jam at the line of scrimmage in press coverage (Isaiah Stanback from our show, Talkin' Cowboys, gave him the nickname E. Honda). He uses his long frame well to blanket receivers in man coverage and sit on routes in zone coverage.

Yes it's just OTA's but the news is promising, and that beats the alternative of hearing that he is struggling with the transition of becoming an NFL player. Being happy or encouraged about the good news doesn't mean that anyone is fitting him for a gold jacket. It's a marathon not a Sprint, but who wants to fall at the starting line and get trampled by the rest of the competition.

I walked right through him like he wasn't there.

playing the computer, but if i played him it might be different. You could just chain his hand move, and it was hard to get close to him, and if i remember right, he had a good move where he went up in the air with you and slammed you down.

He was not a char I played a lot

I really liked that game, but now I want to play Super Punch Out.

  • Trevon Diggs looks like a reason to be optimistic about the Cowboys defense. It doesn't matter if he's nose-to-nose with Michael Gallup or matched up with CeeDee Lamb, Diggs competes for every ball. He's comfortable defending any route from any coverage. Diggs is supremely confident, but his greatest attribute may be his short-term memory. In 7-on-7 he was beat by Gallup on a curl, but on a comeback route with Lamb he was able wrestle away the ball for an interception.
  • Anthony Brown has made plays in team session, 7-on-7, and half line drills. The only play Brown didn't make during Thursday's practice was a pass to Lamb from Dak near the sideline that ended up being the talk of the practice. Brown was unbothered by the catch because a few snaps later, he was lined up ready to compete again. Brown must feel the pressure from the new additions to the roster, but his workmanlike manner suggests he welcomes the challenge.

Most ironic part about Wright is that absolutely NO ONE liked that pick. Even the biggest homers said Wright was the ONE pick they didn't like.
I don’t think it was so much the pick but when he was picked. Most felt he would have been there later. Just like most felt Cox would go earlier
In the end, if they can play it doesn’t matter how you got them

Rootin for the kid but I ain't jumping on any bandwagons until late summer/
I've said the same to include Micha Parsons and the posters here have tried to crucify me for it. I see nothing wrong with this approach but for some odd reason, they insist I embrace our 1st round pick. I won't do it. I'm rooting for all our young acquisitions to do well but like you, I ain't jumping on any bandwagons until the 53-man roster is announced.

He is going to have to prove it to me in a Cowboy uniform.
