Buffalo QB Tyree Jackson

Beezer : 4/23/2019 3:04 pm
Friend of mine asked what I thought the chances the Giants might take a flier on this guy at some point. My initial response - no chance.

Led me to wonder what the BBI opinions are about the kid. Haven't seen much mention of him. Obviously not a top prospect. What I've read says HUGE project, with poor mechanics but a gun. Kid is 6-7, 250.

Will he be drafted? What are the prospects for him? I read in one report maybe a late 5th or 6th rounder. If he doesn't get drafted at all, worth signing Sunday night?
He will most definitely get drafted  
jc in c-ville : 4/23/2019 3:09 pm : link
Could be as early as Round 4/5.
Does a team that's set at QB grab him  
Beezer : 4/23/2019 3:10 pm : link
and see if they can build him up?
He will get drafted  
GothamGiants : 4/23/2019 3:11 pm : link
and I hope it's with 1 of our 4th round picks.

He is a project in every sense of the word ... but he may have the most raw talent/"upside" in this draft.

i would consider him @ 95 ... his size/arm/mobility are a lot to work with.

in that Tyree video. :)
I know he's a project  
GothamGiants : 4/23/2019 3:24 pm : link
but I'm all about rolling the dice on a guy like this ... he busts, oh well you "Wasted" a mid rounder ... he hits, and you have a bigger more athletic Roethlisberger

i would absolutely take a shot on him, as soon as 95 depending on who's available.

He has physical attributes that, if developed, could make him quite the weapon at QB.

6'7 250 with a cannon and mobility? They don't come along often.
I wouldn't mind it if....  
bluetothegrave : 4/23/2019 3:26 pm : link
His work ethic is sick. I have no idea if it is or isn't but for him to realize his potential he needs so much work. If he is willing to put in the work and just absorb everything Eli and staff teaches him....then his upside is huge. Tremendous Arm, Tough kid, throws a beautiful ball. Reminds me of Cam.
here's a fun fact ...  
GothamGiants : 4/23/2019 3:29 pm : link
I like where he spends his free time ...

Hopefully Eli likes him.
Eli approved? - ( New Window )

6'6". 250 lbs. How'd that work out?
The more I watched of Jackson as the MAC season  
Zeke's Alibi : 4/23/2019 3:35 pm : link
went on the less I liked. Honestly, there isn't much there past decent AA and an absolute cannon. He's decently accurate, but his decision making and anticipation seem to slow for NFL. That being said if he is somehow still there in 5th he is worth a flyer. He won't though.

about as well as 40% of 1st round QBs over a 25 year sample ... but yes, lets avoid Jackson because of a completely different player taken 5 drafts ago on a different team

He'd make a nice tight end.

exciting prospect, but extremely raw. Not for us. Build the rest of the team, and work on the QB next year.
Hard for the Giants to take on that big a project.  
81_Great_Dane : 4/23/2019 3:53 pm : link
If they went that way, that's probably the end of Lauletta. They'd keep Jackson, Tanney and Eli. Jackson is probably at least a year of NFL coaching away from being ready to take a snap at QB. If he can play special teams at least they could justify him on the 53. Otherwise, practice squad, and there's going to be a lot of competition for those PS slots this year. Plus if he shows anything in practice other teams will be sniffing around.
I know the kid's agent personally  
The_Boss : 4/23/2019 4:01 pm : link
He thinks he might go in the 3rd. I don't agree with AJ.

A QB-needy team with 12 draft picks seems like a perfect place to me ...

Ron Johnson : 4/23/2019 4:15 pm : link
but my kid goes to UB. I've seen almost every game he's played. a few observations:

UB was pretty bad before he got there. They instantly got better as soon as he became the starter.

He threw the ball long a ton. They were a run first offense especially late in the 2018 season. They left him a lot of third and longs which I think contributed to the low completion percentage. That said he also, it seemed to me he almost always threw deep if he had a deep receiver. There wasn't much if any checking down. …. And he had a ton of time to throw. It was about 5 games before they gave up a sack.

He moves surprisingly well for a guy his size. I wouldn't say he's great a avoiding the rush but he's definitely not bad at it.

I think the 'huge arm' reputation is a little too complimentary. I'd say his arm is strong enough for the nfl but not well above average.

I couldn't comment on mechanics very well as to what he's doing wrong, but from the pocket he seems to have a long wind up. Seems to me the ball should come out faster. He actually seems throw better outside the pocket.

He has tools no doubt but a lot to learn. I'm curious to see what he can do with nfl coaching

Maybe, but they can't afford to keep him on the 53 and be inactive every week. Can he do anything else to help the team win, in case he has to be activated?
Someone is going to take a shot  
sjnyfan : 4/23/2019 5:26 pm : link
Too much raw talent. He's a Day 3 pick for me but there's talk he could go in the 3rd and be stashed. It just takes the right coaching. I would've never thought Mahomes would go 10 overall and look at what he's become. Dak isn't the second coming of Montana but he has been a valuable 4th rounder in more ways than one for Dallas.

Jackson has some flaws but traits as well and he didn't have a private QB coach like many of the top guys in this draft. He watched YouTube videos for coaching. He won't turn 22 until November and every report I hear is that he's very smart and a great locker room guy.

We have five picks in rounds 4-5. If for some reason that's still that way on Saturday I would use one on him. If it doesn't work. It's a mid round pick. If it does we got a steal.
Not into teaching guys the basics on how to play the position

USAF NYG Fan : 4/23/2019 5:44 pm : link
6'7", 249lbs, 4.59 40 time. Well, the Giants have enough picks to take a flier on a guy in a later round.

He looked like he was having fun at the combine.

I’d take him over Murray

Whom I keep saying is pretty much the same guy except I think this kid was Murray’s size in 9th grade.

Project for sure.
So much talent

The guy's arm is insane. I really don't know any other way to put it. He has a Howitzer. While the throws were from a short distance, Steve Smith had to tell Jackson to dial it back during the gauntlet drill for WRs because he was throwing the ball too hard.
Hoping  
GothamGiants : 4/23/2019 9:27 pm : link
our asshats silence on this guy means something’s brewing ...

I would not be opposed to a 3rd round trade up, following 2 defensive players and Risner

This guy flat out has the capability of making plays some other QBs can’t even think of trying ... that’s a guy you take a flyer on
The guy's arm is intense. He can throw it 75 in the air.  
Zeke's Alibi : 4/23/2019 9:27 pm : link
I like him as a 4th rounder but his tools are interesting. Probably won't last 3. The talent is especially deep rounds 2-4 so maybe he'll fall but I doubt it.

Watch Oakland take him 4th ... overall.

I would absolutely trade up in round 3 if he was still available ... I’ll start getting nervous as teams go on the clock in the late 2nd with old but quality QBs (GB, SD, NO) where he’d have a lot of time to sit/develop

Wilkins, Bush, Risner, Jackson - my dream top 4

The QB ball velocitu numbers from the combine are the one number  
Zeke's Alibi : 4/23/2019 10:02 pm : link
that is bandied about that really doesn't mean anything. They never tell these guys to throw it as hard as they can. Jackson has a Mahomes/Allen level arm. The major difference is his throwing motion is a bit elongated. I watched the guy throw the ball 75 yards in the air in warmups no wind. Guy has an insane arm.
Buffalo also has 2 NFL caliber Wrs in the MAC.

Being sarcastic of course. Lol. And he’s much rawer than Murray but the size thing is probably spot on But to me Murray isn’t anywhere near the finished product a number one over all pick should be. That last guy was Luck. I don’t think he’s going to be any more successful that RG3 was.

No way, he is on another planet passing the ball compared to RG3. If Murray was even 2 inches taller and another 10 pounds I am guessing he is considered by every team as the consensus #1 on any team's board. His only knock is height/weight. Which is still possibly a big knock... lol. Hey it's obviously just my dopey fan opinion, and I certainly could be wrong but I think Murray is the best QB to come out in a long time. I think he is going to have a great career.

In a long time? We seem To hear that every year. Size and durability are questions for sure but no one knows how he will adjust to NFL defenses.(that goes for a lot of QBs to be fair) One year playing In the defenseless big 12 adds another question for me. I’m not a fan of gimmick offenses and more Than a few pretty smart NFL people think he will need a tailor made O to really succeed. It’s a crap shoot with few sure things every year He may be as good as think he will be. We will find out sooner than later.

Sure I hear ya. The game that sold me on him was the Alabama game. He was facing ridiculous pressure and his team was not helping him that day. Bama rattled him and bottled him up in the 1st half, he got decked on a cheap shot from Q Williams but he kept coming and single-handedly kept them in that game. I'm totally 100% sold on Murray... lol

FatMan in Charlotte : 4/24/2019 9:30 am : link
there is an analysis out there that points to QB's over 6'5" as being at a distinct disadvantage. And historically, they fare poorly and are often injured.
