Cowboys news: Defensive improvements are coming, and coming fast

Could Wright be the team’s new Mr. Right?

Nahshon Wright was graded as a 7th round pick by several prominent draft experts, including Dane Brugler and Lance Zierlein. So, what do the Cowboys know that the rest of the world doesn’t?

Wright has great size and is the prototypical Dan Quinn defensive back at 6’4” with a nearly 33-inch wingspan. He doesn’t have the quickest hips but he’s not a slouch athlete by any means. Wright ran a 4.47 40 yard dash and is light on his feet when he’s on the field.

There is no denying that Nahshon Wright is going to be a developmental project for Dan Quinn, but luckily they can afford to bring him along slowly as they have four other CBs on the roster ahead of him.
