tyler bray – MDHQ http://www.mockdrafthq.com Updated Mock Drafts, Prospect Rankings, Scouting Reports Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:34:53 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Buffalo Bills Interested in Tyler Bray? http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2013/04/buffalo-bills-interested-in-tyler-bray.html Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:34:53 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=5100 It seems like the Buffalo Bills are working out every QB in the 2013 Draft Class. Buddy Nix has said that he wants a franchise Quarterback, and he is surely making sure his new coaching and scouting staff does their best job in selecting one.

Tyler Bray is a third or fourth round prospect right now after a down year at Tennessee. In that final season Bray accomplished 3612 yards with 32 touchdowns and 12 interceptions before ultimately getting benched at the very end of the year. He showed up at the combine 6’6, 232 pounds so he certainly looks the part of franchise QB…. but can he be trusted with the keys?

Buffalo wants to know.

The trio of Tyler Bray, Justin Hunter, and Cordarrelle Patterson were all on NFL scouts radars, but the group underperformed and the Vols finished with just 5 wins.

QB Tyler Bray was almost a lock as a first round pick coming into the season, but maturity issues and lack of consistent footwork have caused some scouts to question his ability to be a “Franchise Quarterback.”

According to draft insider Tony Pauline, Bray has been trying to improve in one of those areas by working with former NFL QB Ty Detmer. Detmer is helping Bray learn what it takes to be a professional QB. The work should also improve Bray’s confidence at being a leader; something Bray lacked during his time with the Vols.

Bray has the best arm in the draft but is still a work in progress. He has the size teams look for (6’6”), but his skills are still raw and struggles with his decision making and gets rattled too easily when hit (something done often while playing in the SEC).

The player I’ve most often seen him compared to has been Philip Rivers. I see Bray being taken sometime in the 2nd round. It will likely change as the off season moves on, but I have him ranked as my 5th QB overall.

Tyler has made it official he is going to throw his hat into the 2013 draft ring, just a few days after teammate Justin Hunter did the same.

Here is the leak from a “source”, and my thoughts:

As everyone knows, I’ve had Tyler in the top 10 of several of my previous mocks without shame. I think with the right group of receivers, Tyler is going to be a very good QB. If I had to make a comparison off the top of my head I’d say he’s in that Tony Romo/Jay Cutler mold. Hopefully Bray will get to a team that will help him become a professional and develop his skills quickly.

Right now it’s looking like he will be a second rounder… the Jets, Cowboys, Raiders, or Bills need to go ahead and draft him if they can.

]]> Tyler Bray Cited by Knoxville Police for Throwing Beer Bottles http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2012/07/tyler-bray-cited-by-knoxville-police-for-throwing-beer-bottles.html Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:45:40 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=3704 This is not good news for Tyler Bray. As one of the best quarterbacks in college football right now, there is an added spotlight on him this season. Any actions he makes will be highlighted to the max and such is the case when Bray was cited for allegedly throwing beer bottles at parked cars today.

There have already been questions of his maturity poppig up. Is this just an isolated incident or a trend starting to emerge?

Just this past draft he fell in love with Brock Osweiler out of the blue, declaring that my Denver Broncos should have used a first round pick on him. Thankfully, they didn’t because there has been documented history of McShay being way off.

See: Is Todd McShay a Quarterback Killer?

Now McShay is bring the bandwagon to the trail of one Tyler Wilson of Arkansas. In the process he took the opportunity to bury Tyler Bray of Tennessee on his leadership qualities via twitter:

I think Bray needs to grow up, which will happen naturally as he is the leader. I see no Ryan Leaf in him. I see a little bit of cockiness like a Tom Brady, minus of course the rings.
