He's not a good prospect for a team that runs 11 base because a team that runs 11 base will need to run more zone blocking as opposed to gap. Pollack is a wide zone disciple and zone is what Taylor wants for his offense.
Scouting services go nuts for giant T's that can't move and only fit in gap schemes every year. Last year, look at Faalele, who was the consensus #57 overall prospect and rose as high as #39 at one point. Drafted #110 overall. GM's do not spend premium draft capital on OL that lack scheme versatility. Reason being, OL coaches come and go and with it their schemes.
Wright struggles with speed rushers, which is a concern for a guy who would have to go against TJ Watt and Myles Garrett 2x a year. Beyond that, his tape shows he struggles with passing off stunts, which is also bad for a guy in the AFCN with the exotic blitzes that the other clubs employ. He's given up 8 sacks in college, so it's not exactly like the guy is an elite pass blocker, either. And he's pretty close to topped out with limited upside.
Who do you like as OT prospects?
