Mock Draft Consensus on Washington Huskies Football NFL Prospects – 2.0
Joe Tryon
Edge Rusher, 6-5, 262 pounds
- Highest Draft Spot – Round 1, Miami, 24th overall.
- Lowest Draft Spot – Round 5.
- Most Common Draft Spot – No clear Favorite.
Scouting Report
Another physically gifted athlete, Joe Tryon, excelled in the Washington Huskies defensive scheme. He played the Hybrid left defensive end/outside linebacker spot. During his sophomore season at UW, Tryon had 12.5 tackles for loss, including eight sacks.
Both strong and fast, Tryon could become a top pass rusher with proper development and coaching. His explosiveness off the ball, combined with high effort and a non-stop motor, make Tryon very attractive to NFL teams.
Tryon has the tools to be successful at the next level, but, like Onwuzurike, he lacks polish. A common opinion is that opting out of the 2020 season was a mistake. He needed extra practice and game time to develop his skills. His limited move-set will hold him back initially, as will his periodic lack of aggressiveness.
Prospects 2.0
Of the 26 mock drafts we audited that included Tryon, he wasn’t selected to any team more than twice. Baltimore at 58th overall (second round) would be an ideal place to develop his game. The New York Giants at 44th (second round) is intriguing. There he could earn a starting spot in camp and become an impact player sooner rather than later.
Tryon has been overlooked by many since he opted out of playing last season, but he is a really toolsy pass rusher who has yet to play at his best. He will present excellent value if he makes it to the second round. – Dane Brugler, The Athletic.
