Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 71.95 (Roster depth)
Pro Comparison: Austin Bryant
Summary

Tyler Batty is a big, heavy EDGE with a long frame and slow, lumbering get-off who wins more with size than skill. His pass-rush plan is limited, relying mostly on bull rushes and raw power, though he flashes some natural strength when driving tackles back. He’s stiff and slow to redirect, with balance issues that show up when changing direction or trying to corner. As a run defender, he plays with more awareness and effort, showing flashes of block-shedding ability and decent closing speed in short spaces. While his frame is NFL-ready, his lack of quickness, bend and pass-rush polish limits his upside to early-down work or rotational run-stopping duties.
