Could NFL spacing damage Scooby Wright's draft stock?

Here’s the funny, frustrating thing about Arizona’s top NFL draft prospect, linebacker Scooby Wright:

“I am a monster Scooby Wright fan,” NFL Network’s Charles Davis said. “We have that term of ‘ball magnet.’ Some guys are around it. He was way better than that. He wasn’t a ball magnet. The guy went and took it or made a tackle that knocked it free.”The analysts — the people who break down film for a living — love his tape. Not like. Love.

Davis isn’t alone in that assessment. Multiple experts expressed similar thoughts. And yet …

Even among the analysts who love what they see of Wright on film, the consensus is that he’ll be a late Day 2 selection at best when the draft gets underway this week in Chicago.
