Elite Poster Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 He was awful last year. Wouldn't get too excited. Team that cut him drafted CB at pick 1 and with other picks in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateHookerMD Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 We should hope this guy never sees the field. I'd like a flyer on Byrd if we are signing re-tread defensive backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundybout Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Interestingly, his career high day in tackles came against us last year, when he had 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Poster Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Just want to reiterate, he might be, or at least in the conversation for, the absolute worst corner in the league. Edited May 1, 2017 by Elite Poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The cornerback who tops the list for most fantasy points allowed per snap (FP/Sn), and earns the dubious honor of being the easiest corner to pass on in the league is Shareece Wright. https://www.profootballfocus.com/best-fantasy-cb-matchups/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Just want to reiterate, he might be, or at least in the conversation for, the absolute worst corner in the league. But 21st in PFF's run defense category among all corners so that'll make some people happy, right? Edited May 1, 2017 by Blokestradamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Just want to reiterate, he might be, or at least in the conversation for, the absolute worst corner in the league. You've made your expected point. Considering there are approximately 128 CB's League wide during the season and he's played in 67 games, has made 50+ tackles per in 3 of the last 4 seasons with 15 starts, I'm guessing you're incorrect.

Chicken Boo Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Good depth. He's great in run support. Can't imagine he'd be any worse in coverage than Duke Williams. I'd move him to SS. Edited May 1, 2017 by Chicken Boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I feel good about the depth chart at the cornerback position.DarbyWhiteSeymourWrightJohnsonCromartie (Hyde will play nickel at times)Now if they can just go get a veteran safety, I'll feel much better about things.

He was Duke Williams bad in coverage last year and to add his one career INT, nothing to get too excited over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanOverChin Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 He's a solid vet CB. The bottom line is that McD plays mostly zone coverage on defense. That's why you haven't seen him go out and get a shutdown man for man CB. He needs CBs who can read the QB and make the tackle. McD's system is completely different from what we saw from Rex Ryan's defense. We need to give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright is a veteran corner who at worst will provide a body at camp for our corners to vew a veteran in their surroundings, and at best provides decent depth/starter potential.

Billzgobowlin Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Could this be to switch him to Safety since we are very light on that position? Maybe do the Corey White role from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 He's fine as a depth guy. I like the signing. I'm not sure I would like it if he were starting but as a 4th corner he's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I think they try and convert him to an in the box safety. Hes much better against the run and hopefully can make the transition. We need safety depth so why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright is a veteran corner who at worst will provide a body at camp for our corners to vew a veteran in their surroundings, and at best provides decent depth/starter potential. Exactly. This team is desperate for help in the secondary. We have Darby (who was poor a year ago) and a rookie as starters, then Leonard Johnson as our nickel - who was graded terribly the last two seasons. We have no idea whether or not Kevon Seymour can actually play. Beggars can't be choosers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Depth guy who knows the defense So with no GM or scouting staff, who made this decision?they actually brought him in for a visit weeks ago. McD made the decision to sign him and Overdorf did it, is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 You have to take all these corners and re look at them as how they have done in zone as opposed to press coverage I dont know a thing about the guy so Im not gonna pretend I do......but if they were playing in defenses that did not suit their strengths in previous years you have to give benefit of the doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
