Oregon’s Mykael Wright may surprise, if Cowboys return to CB well in draft

Not wanting to endure a third set of collegiate coaches, Wright declared for the NFL. Tyler Browning (@DiabeticTyler) investigates whether he’d be a diamond in the rough for the Cowboys.

Oregon CB Mykael Wright wasn’t exactly looking to leave the collegiate ranks. With eligibility remaining, instability at the coaching position combined with an NFL-ready skillset inspired him to leave the Ducks early. However with Mario Cristobal leaving the west coast the head the University of Miami program, Wright decided to take his talents to an even bigger stage.

He appears to be a long-armed corner who would fit the old Dan Quinn scheme perfectly. Wright had a decent career at Oregon, where he served as both a kick returner and a starting cornerback. He played in all 14 games as a freshman and had two kick return touchdowns, As a sophomore he had nine pass deflections in the truncated seven-game season. While the Dallas Cowboys has gone to the cornerback well several times on Day 2 recently, could they dip into the position yet again?
