I think I'd be fine with him at the end of 1. He's not as polished as his cousin and he hasn't developed enough of an anchor yet, but I think the tools are just as much there you just have to coach him up alot more.

If we're going off reactions from 1 game last nights spoke loudly

I wonder if we take a right tackle in the mid rounds this year to give us the option to move on from Taylor after next season. We can save 15 million in cap space if we cut him in 2025.

Some people just make up their minds and that's the end of it...

Without a doubt the dude looked worth the money last night. And has been good in the playoffs.

Seems to me that it's proactive roster management to consistently use mid round picks at the most expensive positions on the field to see if we can't develop guys into future cap savings. We'd save $20 million by moving on from him a season earlier than his contract ends. |

Did he play Senior Bowl or just practice? Because the athletic profile looks promising but agree that its comes down to how he plays against competition which you won't see at Yale.

You don't cut quality young players who are entering the primes of their career unless they're negative assets on your balance sheet. Taylor won't be.

If you're going OT in the first, it's a scouting/coaching decision. There's not gonna be a slam-dunk pick at that point in the draft. But you can probably find a guy with the tools to play LT (not a lot of dudes have those) and attempt to coach them up over the coming season.

How about Dominich Puni from KU? 90.5% pass protection grade on PFF, he's young too. Christian Jones showed out at the Sr Bowl. Jalen Sundell from North Dokota 89.7% pass protection grade. Javon Foster had the the most consistent 80%+ overall performance grade over a 3 year period. Mel Kiper likes Isaiah Adams from Illinois. I've mentioned Zion as a reclamation project also. But I'm curious which of these OTs that might be available at the bottom of the 1st is a plug and play starter game 1 next season? |

Does anyone have a list of the 5-10 LT prospects? Most of the lists I’ve looked at have RTs in there and we probably don’t need a RT early. I’d like to see a list of LTs if anyone has a list of just the top LTs.

Do you want it as purely college LTs and college RTs or LT to include potential moves from RT to LT?

That said, in the 3rd round, a guy who might be an OT but can be a really safe bet to convert to a strong pass-blocking IOL wouldn't be the worst outcome. But I don't think you've 'solved' the OT problem with him or any of the rest of the guys you've mentioned there. Adams as a late 3rd day pick is intriguing from a developmental standpoint but I think you're looking at a 2 year development period there.
