2022 NFLDraft: Scouting report on Seahawks fifth-round pick Tyreke Smith
. Seattle already selected an edge defender early on Day 2 in Boye Mafe ,which shows the organization realizes just how important multiple edge rushers were added to strengthen what was a relatively light group prior to Thursday.Measurables: 6 foot 3 - 254 poundsSmith’s best attribute is his hand usage as he consistently goes for swipe, swim and rip moves to generate pressure. His hands are relatively quick, and he is able to swipe blockers hands once they flash them.
He has a good tempo to his pass rushing moves as before making contact he incorporates jab steps and movement with his upper body and hips to try and get blockers to cheat one way or the other. Smith did not get a significant number of snaps in coverage but when he did, he looked more than comfortable. He kept his eyes in on the quarterback and stayed light on his toes when in zone coverage while dropping to a good depth.Smith lacks true play strength and ability to get into his lower half. He plays with a high pad level and is unable to gain leverage on blockers as a result. His hands are not very heavy as he does not set defenders back at the point of contact.
