I love this kids confidence in himself and his ability and thus far in OTA and mini camp is walking the walk after talking the talk.
Bingo and our track record of the last few years when allowing a DC to do that has been horrible. I was as surprised as anyone else with the pick, but I wasn't thinking it was a bad move until I heard that it was pretty much all Quinn to take him there. Time will tell. My worry is that at 6'4" 183 he'll need to add some weight to his frame to play at this level and can he add the weight and not lose speed/quickness. Very excited to watch him in the preseason.The rumor was this was a guy Quinn wanted. Would be a nice change of pace if our DC kind of reached for a guy and it actually worked as opposed to the previous DC who reached for guys and they rarely worked out.
If Wright can develop, his size could be a huge advantage at CB.
I predict Risen will ask for a Wright jersey for Christmas.
Man I get so geeked for preseason...I know some people hate it but I really enjoy watching these young guys who we otherwise wouldn't even see.
And yeah the Cowboys put a lot of stock in their draft process. I thought Wright unfairly got criticized because of the "We had him as a 7th round pick" people did...even thought what Sherman did was disrespectul. I hope he proves all of them wrong.
I'm probably being a little emotional over it...he really didn't say nothing outlandish...but Wright said:Bro, what did Sherman do? I've been away from all of the latest news.
I honestly believe getting some confidence early or the lack thereof determines a lot of guys careers. Seen so many players who had the physical talent but never got over the hump of truly believing in themselves at that level of competition. Once you get some confidence that a mistake isn't the end of the world the mind relaxes, and you can play without overthinking.I love this kids confidence in himself

Those people trying to knock down this news isn't happy because it appears that he's doing against Dak. If the news was that he was doing this against Gilbert then they would be much more happy about it.
Im an expert and I endorsed this pickI'm looking forward to all the 'draft experts' backpedaling on this pick!!
Its early I get it, but I see Coyle with a very good chance of sticking aroundWho the heck is Tyler Cole? Is that the creature from The Mothman? No wait, that's Ingrid Cole or something.
I'm probably being a little emotional over it...he really didn't say nothing outlandish...but Wright said:
“I kind of look at myself as kind of like a more athletic and agile Richard Sherman. Yeah, that scheme just fits perfect.”
I think Ryan Clark was more egregious in what he said and i'm probably confusing what he said with what Sherman said.....
But seems like him and Sherman squashed it so I can stop being mad at Sherman lol.
“We kind of have a mutual respect,” said Wright, who played at Oregon State. “For me, I think it was just genuine confidence in myself and looking up to someone like that. He played under [Cowboys defensive coordinator] Dan Quinn. So now I have the opportunity to play under him and hopefully do the same things that Richard Sherman did. So we spoke, and we have a mutual respect. And he told me if I ever needed help I can reach [out] to him.
Yeah I realized that my frustration wasn't really with Sherman it was the people like Ryan Clark and Skip Bayless coming to his defense and attacking Wright knowing he didn't mean It the way it came across.Yeah, I cant remember the quote, but Richard Sherman ended up being real cool about it. Like I said then, Sherman has nothing to prove anymore and his response showed that. He could've broke the young man down, but he was a good enough dude to try and help build him up, after a little humbling that is.
That's okay - Dak knows a doctor who can fix that.Pffftt...
Cooper, who hasn't practiced, broke Wright's ankles several times and we all know it.
KaBam!
Peace out B's.
It really is that simple......Probably him more than anyone, Im really looking forward to seeing in preseason.
No one seemed to have him that high, but the Cowboys didn't say to themselves "Lets take this 7th round prospect in the 3rd round". They had a different value on him than anyone we know of
Draft media rankings this year are going to prove to be wrong by a bigger margin than normal with regards to players matching up to the media rankings over their rookie contract.Probably him more than anyone, Im really looking forward to seeing in preseason.
