Daily News | Eagles draft: Which offensive tackle prospect will become the heir apparent to Lane Johnson?
later this month could be in search of an offensive tackle for the future.
Still, Wright has the upside to be an island-worthy pass protector because of his burst out of his stance and his length. He’s already solid in pass protection with an eye-popping snatch and trap move, throwing rushers to the ground early in the snap and laying on them for the duration of the play. Jones carries most of his weight in his lower half and looks like he could continue to add size throughout his career, but he already possesses the play strength and demeanor of an enforcing offensive tackle. He makes a habit of finding extra work in pass protection and looks to flatten defenders once he gets up to the second and third levels on zone runs or screens.Watching Jones operate in space is special.
The right tackle prospect unsurprisingly wouldn’t win any foot-speed competitions, but still moves quite well at his size and has solid technique. His speed deficiencies may limit him to right tackle for some teams, and he isn’t much of a difference-maker in space, but his unbelievable 37-inch arms more than make up for whatever shortcomings he could have as a pass protector in space.
Jones would have been a top-10 pick 20 years ago, but he’s limited to playing tackle — probably right tackle for most teams — and his lack of elite movement skills make him more of a Day 2 prospect this year.A smooth mover at 6-4, 315 pounds, Harrison will be especially coveted by teams that ask their tackles to work in space.
