I seriously don't want to hear about Jones. Every single year, there's a massively over hyped OSU OL that everyone locks onto that turns out to be a massive disappointment. Last year, it was NPF who was poor on the worst OL in the league. Year before, it was Wyatt Davis, who has already been cut by multiple teams and isn't under contract to anyone currently, iirc. And Wright is the consensus #56 prospect, so a massive reach in the 1st.
It's not like we haven't tried and failed using your philosophy, either. That's how we wound up with Billy Price.
Seriously? Our best 2 olinemen we have drafted in the last decade are Jonah and Volson, of course we are terrible at evaluating them. Thus my theory to draft the highest rated one possible and hope the tons of analysts that have evaluated him are correct. I'd rather not take a chance on a lower rated lineman because our in-house guys think he is a gem......
The number of the prospect in the first 2 rounds doesnt mean much to me as you must remove the 10-12 QBs and WRs ahead of him that we would not consider. I want the the very best RT, which will almost never be the top OT.
Ryan Ramczyk is an example of a projected 2nd Rounder but taken in the 1st and is a perennial top OT. And who is really to say Wright is #56? What number is his rank at RT?
PFF thinks he is a fantastic fit for us at 28, so massive based on who?

Complaining about the school a player went to is kind of bogus and fansy...
What position group do you think we should take before the top RT, be it Wright or Jones, assuming we sign Bell and Apple or another vet at those positions?
