<p>Tyrod Taylor was able to have a Pro Bowl season but that doesn’t mean there weren’t problems for the Buffalo Bills on the offensive line.  Right tackle was routinely a sore spot as every player they tried at the position failed to distinguish themselves.  Finding a permanent solution, hopefully one who can help open up the ground game further would be just what the doctor ordered.</p> <p>Given his athletic limitations, few expect Taylor Decker to stay at left tackle once he reached the NFL level.  His immense size (6-foot-7) and sturdy power base makes him the poster boy for right tackles.  That doesn’t mean he should be sold short.  He’s better in pass protection than some give him credit for.  At the end of the day though Decker is a bruising blocker who likes to get after it in the ground game, throwing his weight around.</p>. OT. Ohio State. Taylor Decker. 19. player. 16
