This is where things get a little more complicated. When drafting in the fourth round, there are not many players who have the ability to step in and start in the NFL.
Of the 40 draft picks taken in the fourth round (including compensatory picks), only three players are listed first on the their team's depth charts?Evan Rodriguez is Chicago's starting fullback, Bobby Massie starts at right tackle for Arizona and Miles Burris is a starting outside linebacker for the Raiders.?
The Vikings used their three selections in the fourth round to help bolster the offense?they failed. Some of it has been due to bad luck, and some to perhaps selecting the wrong player.
If the Vikings were going to use the worn-out expression and take the best player available, then looking back with what we know now, they would not have selected Jarius Wright with the 118th pick in the draft.????
Wright, who missed most of the preseason with an ankle injury, had an impressive game in the final tuneup in Houston. He finished with six catches for 122 yards and a touchdown, demonstrating that he was healthy and ready to go. The leading receiver for Arkansas last season, finishing with 66 catches for 1,117 yards and 12 touchdowns, has been inactive for every game this season.
With how difficult it has been for the Vikings offense to establish a down-field passing game, Wright should have been given a shot by now. He's must be missing something that head coach Leslie Frazier is not ready to put him on the field.
With the clarity of seeing who's been productive at the midpoint of the season, a better selection would have been Keshawn Martin, a wide receiver from Michigan State selected by the Texans three picks later.?
Martin has six catches in seven games for the 6-1 Texans. While not an impressive total, it's still six more catches than Wright has made.??
