If you can't tell I'm not happy. He is a small (5'10) and injury prone like Britt. Not to mention he is a product of the Baylor and RG3 system.

How's he injury prone?

It looks like he played in every game his college career

Guess I'm alone. Don't believe in burning a 1st round pick, even late, on a WR whose lead is "despite his size". Thought it got compounded by Houston taking the DE I thought the Titans would take.

Can Wright cover opposing WRs or rush the passer or protect the QB?

I'm fine with it.

I see a future team with some offensive speed with Britt, Wright, Locker, Cook and CJ out there spreading the field. That would change the defensive plan around for everyone we play.

No and doesn't run block either.

Honestly, if that team doesn't put some entertaining football on the field, they will be in trouble in a couple of years. Last year, the upper deck was basically empty.

I think someone is looking at that as well and realizing that Houston has some firepower that can't be stopped easily so they have to score some points.

We do need to spread the field better if we ever want to run the ball with Johnson again. Otherwise they're just going to 8 in the box / man on him all game

then again, they choose to do that now, then our passing game's even better to deal with it

Wright will be a bust mark this down.

Guys, the Giants won the Super Bowl with a great QB and WR group, terrible running game, and great pass rushers. The Titans didn't get a pass rusher, but the draft isn't over. Don't forget picking up Wimbley in free agency. Also, the secondary will be JUST FINE. Seriously. The secondary is going to be ok.

Plus, if the offense stays on the field longer, the defense doesn't have to do much.

Still a lot of draft left. Don't forget where they picked up their biggest contributors last year: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds! None of those guys were the #1. Ayers started all season as did Casey and McCarthy balled out towards the end of the season. Klug led the team in sacks. Tommie Campbell was taken in the 7th and looks like he could be a long-term answer in the secondary.

Calm down. Dang.

You think he plays at #2? I was thinking slot.

He can switch in and out like Nate. He's the same height as Nate, but thicker and faster.
