Rockport probably loves the pick.
I’m willing to give all the picks a chance. I have no clue about these picks. Don’t like em, don’t hate them. I’m just not some blow hard pretending to know about these players like you. Have you talked person to person with these players? No. Have you spoken person to person with the players coaches? No. Have you watched real tape and not YouTube highlight videos? No. Have you talked to their teammates? No. So keep embarrassing yourself acting like you know all about these players.

Here you go: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nahshon-wright-nfl-draft-player-profile-oregon-state-cornerback/

  • Height: 6’4 1/4″
  • Weight: 183 pounds
  • Position: Cornerback
  • School: Oregon State
  • Current Year: Junior
Positives: Junior-college transfer who started the past two seasons for Oregon State. Tall, thin cornerback who flashes ball skills. Instinctive, quick to read and diagnose, and effectively times his pass defenses. Fluid flipping his hips off the line, displays solid footwork in reverse, and has a nice break to the pass.

Tracks the ball in the air, quickly closes to the action, and possesses a burst of speed. Efficient, takes proper angles, and stays with assignments. Gives effort up the field on the blitz or defending the run.

Negatives: Has a thin build, struggles with physical receivers, and loses out in battles. Shows a little hesitation reacting to receivers’ moves off the line.

Analysis: Wright was a consistent cornerback at Oregon State and showed progress in his game the past three seasons. He possesses size, growth potential, and enough cover skills to play at the next level, but he must improve his playing strength. He’s a Day 3 pick who could initially line up in dime packages as a rookie.

He's thin, but has good speed. I wonder if he could play single-high safety. Having a guy that tall back there would be good. Would have prefered Molden, even though he's kind of the opposite of Nashon, not very tall and not very fast.

The selection of Nashon Wright officially ends any chance the Cowboys re-sign Chris Westry.

Okay, to be serious, this was a reach, but it's clear Dan Quinn wants his own style of corners here.
