I think Taylor will take a couple years to find a consistent role, but I see him having a decent career

Taylor appears to be a good kid and teammate with borderline NFL talent. Robinson has legitimate NFL size and skills but is the opposite of Taylor.
Not sure either will do well at the next level but both had to go at this point for opposite reasons
I wish both of them luck.

U
I thought he was suspended, but have not been online much
Did you missed that he was kicked off the team?

Taylor will get drafted in rounds 4-7. His last name will help him a little, but he did improve this year being the man. That being said I think his career mirrors Gilly more than Jones. I don't think his stock will improve whether he stayed or not. If he stayed he would be no higher than the 4th back taken next year while loosing alot of carries and going he still won't make the top 3 backs. If he has a good combine it may go up, but best of luck to him.
Robinson has Cleveland Browns 1st rounder written all over him. Will have an amazing combine and get drafted 7 rounds before he should. Sad thing is he has all the talent and size in the world to be great, but his head just isn't there or maybe it's just always been in the NFL. I think he hangs around the league for a few years, but unless he matures quickly, protects the ball, and stops trying to avoid being tackled he won't be there for long.
McAllister will be a late round pick/NA FA and at most make a practice squad since he can't cover anyone on passing downs or set an edge.

I wish KT the best. His numbers were never great, but I can't help but think he would have been more productive with better QB play and a better O-line. I also think it's overlooked how important he was to the offense this year. Good in pass pro, never fumbled. Those are big parts of a running backs job, especially with our O this year.
He'll get 1000 yards this year (I hope), which is admirable considering our line. I'm going to miss him, but I think we'll be better at the position next year. I think it was also clear this year that when he played, Scarlett was the best RB on the team. Hopefully he can hold on to the ball and pick up the pass protection.
As far as D-Rob, meh. Not going to miss. Though I did enjoy watching him block his a** off for KT and Matt Jones against UGA in 2014 when we ran for 3492 yards.

Both were expected. Kelvin needed to go. I dont see his draft stock going up with shared carries and the stable of thoroughbreds in the NCAA next year. As far as D-Rob goes... thanks for the kentucky game last year and dont let the door hit you in the ass. He will be fine in the NFL. They are used to head case WRs.

Agree with all that this is the right choice for both these guys.
DRob has NFL size and talent. He will be a 2nd to 3rd rounder and could be a steal at that if he gets his head straight. I don't agree that he sucked at blocking. He's actually very good at it, and has very good hands and can run decent routes when he makes the effort. Don't underestimate how bad our QB play was the whole time he was here. Give him a real QB and offense and he could be a solid starting WR2 for a long career. He's also managed to avoid injury which helps when heading to the league.
KT is really hard to scout actually. He's kind of small and you wonder if he will be able to take the NFL pounding. But he has pretty decent vision and feet, and accelerates through the hole pretty well, but can't pull away from anyone once in the open field. He blocks pretty well in pass protection but might get smoked by NFL size and speed on blitzes. I'd say he's a 5th rounder and gets decent playing time in a RB rotation. If he can stay healthy he could have a solid career.
I think folks are under-estimating McCalisters talent. He's got a really quick first step and freakish speed. He shouldn't have much trouble putting on 10-15 lbs and still maintain his speed. He's definitely not an every down lineman but pass rushers who are just too fast for tackles to get in front of, especially when they have been playing the entire game while you can bring in a guy like McCalister in fresh in situational downs, are worth a lot in the NFL because a well times sack can be the difference between winning and losing. He's going to run fast and jump high at the combine and turn heads. I think he's drafted as a pass rushing specialist around 3rd to maybe 4th round.

There isn't a chance in hell he goes before the first 5 rounds. I still think he goes undrafted, just like someone like Deonte Thompson before him.
What does he really do well? His attitude problems make him even more unattractive to teams.

KT strikes me as the kind of guy that the patriots steal late in the draft and ends up being twice as productive as anyone ever thought he would be.
D Rob reminds me more of Will Hill than Deonte Thompson.

Best of luck to both of them. I think KT will do fine considering he almost had 1000 yards this year behind a bad OL

Yep. Talented enough to start in the NFL, but completely unaware of the work that needs to be put in to do it. Some guys have to learn the hard way.

Is KT not playing in the bowl? I'd like to see him hit 1,000 yards this year.
