STRENGTHS
Tytus has good size and athleticism to play either offensive tackle position at the next level and this makes his value intriguing. When he keeps his balance, he can mirror his opponent long enough to give his quarterback time in the pocket. He has the foot speed to turn his hips and push his defensive lineman up the field to keep the pocket intact. Tytus has the long arms needed to deal with those pesky speed rushes who can turn the corner quickly. He does a good job blocking for the running game if he keeps his pads down and doesn’t lose leverage. Tytus may need some time to reach his potential, but that potential should be as a starting left or right tackle to protect your franchise quarterback.
CONCERNS
Tytus improved dramatically during Senior Bowl week and showed that with good coaching he has the ability to start very quickly for the team that selects him. He will have to watch his weight or he will eat himself right off the team. He also needs more work on just about every aspect of his game and as a rookie he will struggle with illegal procedure penalties, he is easily tricked into doing that by defensive lineman.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 3.11
Tytus will be overdrafted. He has to be because, Offensive Tackles with this type of raw talent are few and far between. He did a very good job at the Senior Bowl and showed that he can step up against talent but the Senior Bowl is very limited in what they allow in blitzing and stunts and different defensive line schemes. Tytus will struggle learning the game at the NFL level. Those are the facts, but the facts also are, that Tytus has too much talent to last very long in this draft. So, look at Rob’s board to see where he might be selected and if your team selects him…give him time to improve. It should be worth it.
