Lions draft Tyre West at pick 222

I never had this guy on my radar, but he appears to be another 5 technique Dlineman.

PROSPECT ANALYSIS

West’s snap and start counts are unusually low for a draftable prospect. He has the bone thickness of an interior defender, but a chunk of his collegiate reps came at 5-technique and even-front defensive end. He’s a solid athlete with good quickness but below-average hand usage. He appears capable of sinking and anchoring but will be tested against interior double teams on the next level. West’s ability to pressure the pocket could earn him an opportunity at the next level.

He was another grit index guy (plus one of our only visits). I think at this point we ALL need to be paying attention to Erik Schlitt, he nailed the bulk of these picks. @Lyonfan1 was the only one smart enough to listen to him.

Also @Nate another one for the pin.

Here’s his statistical profile from the other thread:

Sounds more like Brad is trying to find a 3Tech with these last few picks.

Pronounced “Ty-ree Fy-ree?” Or “fiery” I suppose?

I was going with Tire Fire but I’m kind of drunk

I know, I thought “Tire” was how it was pronounced too, but as @Alex_Analzone just pointed out, it’s actually “Ty-ree,” which makes more sense honestly.

I tried @Nate but maybe @Air2theThrown as well to get this pinned?

Well, I don’t know. I was just looking at and came to the conclusion that I’m stupid

Hmmm, well I don’t doubt that ( :smirking_face:), but now I’m wondering how the name is actually said. I’ve thought “Tire” the whole time as well.

His mom forgot the other e on the birth certificate

Could see a platoon of West on early run downs and Moore on passing downs, which would be a departure from what the Lions have done at the edge spot opposite Hutch, aside from the James Houston experiment.

It’s crazy the experiment started with like 7 sacks and ended with pooped pants
