tackle requires better footwork than guard...the guard position is more about leverage. Being taller can be either a positive or negative, depending on how tall he plays at the position...I like his attitude, too. Just wondering, though - is 6'5" a good height for guard? I've always imagined a guard to be a little shorter, although it may not make a lot of difference. Does he have the potential to fill a tackle position?
Usually 6'4" & 6'5" is prototypical for an NFL Guard. Keep in mind that 6'5" was Taylor's listed recruiting height. He's probably closer to 6'4" as nearly every player measures in about half an inch to an inch shorter than expected at the NFL combine.I like his attitude, too.

Our current line loses Barret Jones (Center), Chance Warmack (Guard), Anthony Steen (Guard), and high probability of DJ Fluker (Tackle).Next year's OL will take a step back compared to this year, but will be very good. Lots of talent and it sure sounds like everyone has bought in to the process...
I remember reading earlier in the season that Warmack spoke very highly of Taylor's talent and said he would be a beast after he leaves.
You're correct...I thoguht for some reason it was his senior season.Isn't Steen a junior (though a redshirt)? He's coming back.
His draft stock is also fairly high from what I've seen. Any official reports on whether he plans to leave or stay?Isn't Steen a junior (though a redshirt)? He's coming back.
Just looked it up...he's rated 29th out of 209 college guards on one site...may not be high enough to decide on skipping his senior season...His draft stock is also fairly high from what I've seen. Any official reports on whether he plans to leave or stay?
we definitly have signed some good players the past few season and have plenty of options...Leon Brown (JUCO OT) will probably take over at RT, but we have options.
