The primary question concerning Kouandjio coming into the draft was chronic knee issues, but he checked out with the Redskins and Dan Snyder added a nice piece to his franchise’s offensive line.
Wright, a two-year starter in the trenches on the Plains, is a strong inside pass rusher. He is the Tigers’ second selection of Day 3 after Angelo Blackson went No. 100 overall to the Tennessee Titans.
