Scooby's draft position is anybody's guessΒ 

Given the interest inΒ Scooby Wright’s Pro Day last week at the UA, it will be fascinating to see who drafts him β€” and when. Will the NFL people put more priority on his lack of speed and his relatively smaller (by NFL standards) lower body, along with his inability to drop into pass coverage effectively? Or will they buy into his instincts, work ethic, toughness and nose for the ball? Scooby is like a .255-hitting MLB infielder who bats eighth but always seems to make a play to win a game.Β
