Draft Day ***NFL Draft Third Round thread***

[nalam]

5 picks on defense and they STILL do not go for a Safety.

Or a DT to man the middle!

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.

Bad analysis, he wasn’t a “Day 3 pick” lol

He sucks.....as a safety. Hes a good slot and we dont need a slot

He wasn’t my guy. I just kept hearing almost everybody here asking for him since the end of second round

 

[Jarntt]

I didn't like Molden or Melifonwu, but in retrospect I would have preferred either to this pick. Seems like a Marinelli type pick where he fits a mold that you want and maybe place that above the actual player

 

[jblaze2004]

wait we drafted Nahshon Wright over Ifeatu Melifonwu

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

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.

I could see that. With his speed and height, I could see us shifting him to FS. However, given his height, I get the feeling Quinn is going to at least start him at CB.

and 123lbs

My issue is not even the 184 pounds rather it is the value or lack thereof.

 

[kevm3]

all these people in here with all this draft room experience, amazing

We only have to look at the cowboys history of drafting defense

 

[Killerinstinct]

Weeeeee! The lunatics are running the asylum

 

[td4mvp2k]

5 picks on defense and they STILL do not go for a Safety.

they refused to even attempt to get one

 

[Avery]

Walterfootball gives this pick an F

They might be the worst football site on the internet.

Still don’t like the pick though.

 

[Miller]

We had leverage in this draft. Extra picks. Top 10 first etc. I feel like we failed and drafted on our heels vs a position of power. Weird draft

 

[Risen Star]

I can't help but get the feeling those idiots are letting Dan Quinn dictate the draft.

What a waste of three 3rd round picks.

 

[NeonNinja]

One of the worst front offices in the league.

 

[gimmesix]

I really thought we might take Melifonwu at 99

Would have preferred him or Molden, but I admit that I don't know much about Wright. I know that everyone I've been listening to had him ranked much, much lower.

 

[Floatyworm]

Thank God we didn't trade back for more picks. We lucked out with Parsons. I can only imagine how bad this draft would be if we were drafting at 20 with a bunch of extra 3rd and 4th rounders.

Well....I gotta look @ it this way......we really didn't lose anything. Just imagine if we had blown our only 3rd rounder...

So we had an extra pick....and rolled the dice. Who knows...maybe this is Richard Sherman 2.0.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

wait we drafted Nahshon Wright over Ifeatu Melifonwu

WE did. This is the first pick I have reservations about this draft. I like the player, just not where we got him. I know why we drafted him though.

 

[Carson]

Four straight DBs gone.

We get the only bum

 

[CowboyDAK]

I could see that. With his speed and height, I could see us shifting him to FS. However, given his height, I get the feeling Quinn is going to at least start him at CB.

yay another project, haven’t heard this **** before

 

[DFWJC]

Richard Sherman was. We have Quinn. That's why Wright's a Cowboy.

6’3”
But good example
