  • Scouts from some teams began filing out of the workout before it even finished, because so many were turned off by what they saw.
  • “He’s physically gifted, but he’s a long ways away,†said the chief personnel man for one team. “We wouldn’t touch him. Typical of most players in the supplemental draft, he’s not close to being ready. There’s too much holding him back. He’s never been pushed. He quit on just about every drill. He lacks mental toughness. If a team is going to take a chance on him, they better have the right coach.â€Â
  • Another scout in attendance said Wright was not “quick or explosive†in drills and his lack of upper-body strength with just 16 repetitions in the 225-bench-press test was one of many signs of his immaturity.
  • “He is extremely immature. He won’t be ready for two years. He doesn’t have a work ethic. He wouldn’t make our 53.â€Â
  • As a 21-year-old, Wright has some room for improvement, but scouts say he was terribly out of shape, ran through bag drills straight up-and-down  the same way he plays and did not touch the line on his three-cone drill until the third attempt because he cannot bend and drop his hips.
  • The Dolphins, Eagles and Packers are believed to have done the most exhaustive research on Wright. The most logical team to select him is one with extra second-day picks in next year’s draft that they would feel comfortable sacrificing.
  • The consensus from teams with whom PFW consulted that had done filmwork on Wright prior to his worout was that he was a fifth-round selection. His workout, deemed “sub-par†by many in attendance, did not help him.
 
wow... we could actually get him in the fourth... thats got to be tempting with our glaring need at DT.
 
Pass on him......If we give up anything for him, I will see it as a panic move.

Why is that tempting? If he isnt gunna be ready for atleast 2 years... we could a DT that would be ready sooner with a pick in the same round that we would use to get Wright... and prob have a much better work ethic and more motivation...

  • He had little redeeming qualities other than his 40..... why would we take a shot at this guy at all.....

it might just be me... but I would see it as long term ambition.

We would be a young safety away from having the future core of our D.

Wright at DT, Roth at DE, Crowder at LB and Poole and Daniels at CB.
 
I wouldnt take him but I trust Sabans judgement on it.I think its more likely that a team who has many picks like the Eagles would take him.

coz the whole two year thing is over-exaggerated... no rookie is really NFL ready + he is only 21... in two years time he's gna be the same age as Ronnie is now.

coz he had a bad workout... he's still worth a shot, IMO.

Nah, Rick Spielman and Dave Wannstedt are not running this team anymore, the days of panic personnel moves are over.

I don't know enough about Wright right to evaluate him, but if we do take him it will be because Saban sees a Diamond in the rough he can develop. Remember, Miami spent more time with him and researching him than anybody.

If Saban thinks he's a player thats good enough for me right now.

  • He knew he was going to work out for more than a month... yet he was out of shape.... not good
  • Would you sacrifice a pick like Crowder in the regular draft to select a guy like Wright in the supplemental?
 
People were talking about this guy as a SECOND round pick in the supp draft prior to his workout. To now be looking at getting him for a 4th or 5th, that's mind-boggling. I'd take a shot with a 5th, personally, but that's about it.
