The Takeaway
The Player
Taylor is a versatile offensive lineman who started 19 games at left tackle, 10 games at left guard, nine games at right tackle, and eight games at right guard in college. He’s a powerful drive blocker who can latch on to opposing defenders with his big hands and lift them, even though he has a high center of gravity. When he lines up at offensive tackle, he knocks defensive tackles onto his guard before climbing to the second level. His arms are long for an interior offensive lineman, and he can knock linebackers off course when he gets his hands on them.
He’s inconsistent, and his lowlights are concerning. He needs to tighten up his footwork and play with better body control. He oversteps, and his base gets too wide, which hurts his ability to generate power and sustain blocks. He runs well when he pulls and releases up to the second level, but his base narrows and he looks like he’s sprinting, which affects his ability to get into position. He fits better in man or gap schemes than in zone-heavy schemes. He’s quick and has the length to keep blockers off his frame when he gets his hands inside, and he has some upside as a pass blocker.
He has a tendency to overextend and get top heavy. He is late delivering his punch and can give too much ground when defenders get into his frame. He is too slow to rewrap his hands when defenders knock them down. He moves well for his size, but he gets caught flat-footed and fails to mirror inside moves. He’s a team captain whose ability to play multiple positions is a testament to his football IQ and the way he prepares. He played for Virginia for two seasons and transferred to Boston College in 2023.
The Draft
Taylor grades out as a mid-round offensive lineman. Three of the six Boston College players taken in the past three drafts have been offensive linemen.
The Projection
Taylor may never develop into a full-time starter, but his ability to provide depth at multiple positions is valuable and could allow him to carve out a role in the NFL. His NFL career could follow the path of Dan Skipper, who started 16 of the 69 games he played in his eight-year career. He provided depth at several positions and carved out a role as a sixth offensive lineman.
