He's a little weak on kickoffs but I'll take accuracy over a strong legged kicker who can't be counted on to make a game winning kick.

Are you part of the "never draft a kicker" crowd, or are you simply saying that Wright is good enough that drafting a kicker would be silly this year?  At the very least, I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone screaming (all caps) that you never draft a kicker.

I agree on Wright though.  Once he got his footing, he was kicking a really pretty, and darned accurate ball anywhere from 55 yards in.  Serious competition is needed though... The short kickoffs thing is a real problem.  Either that, or we need a coach that can teach our special teams kickoff group not to completely suck bringing down the returner.
