Devon Taylor

I see a poor mans Aldon Smith. He was overshadowed by Clowney. Can ply either DE spot but looks like he could be an ideal stand up 3-4 linebacker

6-6 266 4.71

36" arms

87"wingspan

35" vert

4.3 shuttle

6.89 3cone

He bested Aldon Smith in all testing categories except the bench. He also has comparable numbers to the top DE/LBs in this draft. Will he be their with our third.

I would give him more of a Manny Lawson grade before mentioning Aldon Smith.

The only guy that should be on the top of the radar is Malliciah Goodman. Beast of a man.

I have us taking him in the 3rd in my mock. I think he could turn out like Michael Johnson with a little work.

That's a fair comparison. His physical attributes alone make him an interesting candidate.

Yeah, with his size combined with his athleticism, it seems he just needs to add a little strength & some coaching to become something special in terms of a speed rusher.

[Francis York Morgan]

I like him as a person, as a player I'm more tentative. Maybe with our fourth. That's a big maybe.

[Psychic Gibbon]

Despite being on a loaded defense he never produced.

Malliciah Goodman? LULZ

Obviously a Clemson fan. Goodman was an absolute bust for Clemson. Waited until the last game of his career to do anything relevant. Only thing he's known for is his freakishly big hands.

Taylor will be an interesting pick for a team. He doesn't have near the athleticism and explosiveness of an Aldon, but he plays incredible assignment football, insanely athletic for his size, and is actually still very raw both physically and in the game of football. He'll be a lot like a Michael Smith. Will need time to develop into the NFL, but will be a good player once he does.

[Francis York Morgan]

I just don't get the Aldon Smith comparison at all. Taylor is a run stopper who plays disciplined...not much of a pass rusher in any facet. Showed flashes at the East West Shrine game. Still a huge gamble, but he's better value than Hunt at least.

[Junior-Coffee1966]

I really like Devin, played lights out at the East vs West shrine game. Taylor could realistically be there when we pick in the second round .
