Tyree Wilson ER/LB Texas Tech

STRENGTHS
Tyree reminds me a lot of Vikings Danielle Hunter. He is a quick twitch athlete with the foot speed to run players down from behind. Tyree can play multiple positions in the front seven of a defense line, inside or outside or off the line at any one of the linebacker positions. He is stout against the run and as a pass rusher, with his long strides and wing span, has to be accounted for and game planned for on third and long downs. Tyree has the ability to shut down sweeps and screens to his side and either string the play out or makes the tackle for a loss. He has unique size and athleticism, which usually means an impact football player is about to be discovered.

CONCERNS
Tyree is a bit raw and needs some good coaching to bring all of his talents out. He will take some time as a pass rusher learning the tricks of the trade before you will see double digits sacks. He has to learn better hand usage when rushing the passer and how to make secondary moves to finish. Nevertheless, he will be disrupting and make plays because of his size, strength, and overall athleticism.

BOTTOM LINE: 1.47
Tyree is a potential defensive-impact playmaker. As I stated before, he can make plays coming off the line of scrimmage or playing on the line of scrimmage. There are not many in this draft with his size and overall athleticism and by the time we get to this draft and after his workouts and interviews, Tyree could be in the running for the 1st pick of this draft. I suspect he will be on most team’s boards as a top 5 or 10 pick, but you never know. His selection might rely on how teams view the QB’s in this draft and how many teams need QB’s. After all, he does need better coaching and he did not play in the SEC, so who knows what teams might think about him. All I can tell you is on my board he’s one of the top players in this draft with monster-like potential to have a bigger impact at the NFL level than he did at the college level.
