STRENGTHS
Tyree is a big, strong armed quarterback with tremendous upside to his game. He has good athletic talent to make plays with his legs and because of his size, is very hard to bring down in the open field. He can make most of the throws and if you have speed in your receiver corps he will throw the long ball as long as it is needed to be thrown. Tyree does a good job making plays when plays break down, and he looks to throw or run when he breaks the pocket. He has shown excellent arm strength at all his workouts and at the combine and that fits any team’s offensive system therefor, any team will be interested in selecting Tyree at any point in this draft.
CONCERNS
Tyree lacks the maturity, work ethic and understanding of the amount of work he will be asked to do to compete at the next level. He has a lot of mental work to do like, learning to read defenses along with improving some mechanical issues. He has a long release, holds on to the ball too long and must improve throwing in rhythm from the pocket. It almost seems like Tyree thrives more when he holds on to the ball too long, waiting for plays to break down and then making the spectacular play. Tyree must improve throwing the ball from the pocket in rhythm and not holding on to the ball too long.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 4.44
Tyree’s size and big arm will attract a lot of teams because there is upside to his game. For me the upside may be too long to reach. I think with all the work that Tyree has to do physically and mentally along with his lack of maturity shown at the combine that I would leave all the work to some other team and see where Tyree is at, after his first contract is up. Don’t get me wrong, Tyree can win a game or two as a backup just on his athletic talent, size and arm strength alone but, expecting him to play a 16-game schedule and be competitive any time soon, with all he has to learn, is asking too much of him in my opinion. Then again everyone has an opinion and mine shouldn’t mean any more to Tyree than anyone else’s. Tyree is a wild card type of player in this draft and he could be selected at any time from the third round on… Just not by me.
