3-4 OLB Devin Taylor: post-combine player comparisons and results [Merged]

Devin Taylor looks good....in shorts. I've watched South Carolina a few times this year to check out Clowney and I thought he was a pretty underwhelming player. He had the opportunity to be left alone on every play last year because teams were doubling JC on every play and didn't produce much. He is a strong player but not that explosive and very stiff, IMO he will never be able to drop into coverage so I don't see how he could transition to a 3-4 OLB. He might be able to become a good 3-4 DE but he needs to add weight. From the 3 games I have seen, it even looks like Taylor was coming off the field a lot in passing situation for Chaz Sutton.

He is a decent mid-Rd pick but I don't understand how you can compare him to Aldon Smith...yeah they have a "similar" body but Aldon is more explosive and was much more productive in college while playing on a much worse Dline. If I had to compare him to a NFL player, it would be a young Ray Edwards.

To me, he is the definition of a "look like Tarzan, play like Jane" kind of player!
