I think we finished second for all of those.

He is greatly over valued here but good for him if true. We have 3 guys projecting first round right now which should help recruiting

 

[FireFoley]

Well knock me over with a feather. If that is what a 1st round O-line draft pick looks like in college football, then I need to stop watching. Of course I said the same thing about DJ Humphries and he was a 1st rounder. However I have been told he still sux. Taylor impresses me little, but if someone wants to throw 40 or 50 large at him, I say congrats and take it immediately if not sooner.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Say what you will but he is one of only a VERY few guys who completely changed his body and continually improved physically every year that I can remember in the last 4 or 5 years. I sure wish at least 2 or 3 of the other offensive linemen who came in the same time range would have put as much into it as JT has.....

 

[Concrete Helmet]

A couple of other notes about him that may be making the NFL take notice I don't think he has ever missed a game due to injury or off field issues.(?)

 

[GR8 2B]

Look at the programs represented the top 10 - 7 are in the SEC, and 5 are in the top 5 of the CFP rankings. Where's Bama?

 

[TLB]

Good for Taylor.

McShay and Kiper don't speculate on underclassmen, I don't believe. But what are the chances Zuniga and/or Polite leave early? They have to be getting attention.

YAY Fred Johnson is a Sr. Though, it looks like we'll lose several OL to graduation. Gotta start filling that up with recruits. I expect next year may be as bad, or worse, for our OL.

Polite is getting ratings around 16 to 30. I haven't seen Zuniga. No way Polite returns....Zuniga maybe, I'd give it less than a 50% chance though.

 

[TheDouglas78]

This is a very OL and DL heavy draft to be rated in the first round, you have to go... Get a union year in and closer to second contract and more guaranteed years.

For DJ Humprries still sucking he is the starting left tackle for the Cardinals.

 

[leogator]

We will lose a lot of players to the draft. We really are going to need to replace them or we will suck next year.

 

[Spurdog98]

Isn't Chaz Green on the Cowboys roster still? Think about that for a minute

 

[neteng]

Hard to judge our OL after learning about the SC program under butters. They have drastically improved this year, though not world beaters, but improving. I think another offseason with Savage will do wonders for next season. But we need to recruit more, obviously.

No got cut in the offseason, he is on a roster though.

 

[maheo30]

For what it is worth, PFF grades Humphries out as an "above average" left tackle. And I can't find anyone else who rates Jawaan Taylor so high. No one.

 

[BMF]

McShay has Polite at #25:

Polite is a top-tier talent. With fantastic speed and athleticism, he is a force off the edge. Polite is slippery and displays good instincts as a playmaker. In eight games for the Gators, Polite has seven sacks and forced four fumbles. He was a big part of the win against LSU in early October, making six tackles, recording two sacks and forcing a fumble.

 

[GatorBart]

Good for Taylor.

McShay and Kiper don't speculate on underclassmen, I don't believe.

Taylor is a junior, so they do speculate on underclassmen, including Polite and Zuniga. See BMFs post about Polite above.

 

[leogator]

I personally don't see either tackle going in the first round, maybe early second but I think JT goes.
