Almost all of the most recent Mock Drafts have Tyree going Top 10
Front page of ESPN this morning was Kiper's official first round mock.
The Lions finished the season with eight wins in their final 10 games, but their explosive offense papered over massive holes on the other side of the ball. They ranked last in the league in yards per play allowed (6.2) and opposing QBR (55.9); they had issues defending the run and the pass. Wilson, the top true defensive end in this class, would help both. He can use his burst at the snap to beat offensive tackles on passing downs or use his 6-foot-6 frame to hold up against the run. An edge-rushing duo of Wilson and Aidan Hutchinson would be formidable, with surprise rookie James Houston working in on obvious passing downs.
At first it was just 1 or 2 guys putting Tyree in the Top 10. But, now it's just about everybody.
Looking more and more like we are gonna have another Texas Tech Top 10 pick.
He did note too that the Bears are 50/50 on trading back, which could change things because they are definitely looking for Tyree Wilson types. (Here's hoping Tyree is wearing that Orange C)
Either way, pretty bad ass and kind of crazy how many first round guys we have had even with how much the program has struggled.
