You have to go back 11 drafts (Yakupov) to find a 1OA less likely to be an elite player than Wright. Power could be debatable, but Ekblad was ahead of where Wright is and Hischier was taken over a player who followed a very similar CHL career to Wright. Nolen Patrick was considered the "clear #1OA, sure fire top line elite C" for at least 2 years prior to the 2017 draft but had a mediocre draft year that raised questions about him.What evidence do you have to suggest this? What makes Wright worse than picks like Nuge, Yakupov, Ekblad, Hischier or Power?
The difference is that the Devils could switch from "the clear consensus #1" without their fanbase rebelling.
