Second Round: Taylor Moton, OT, Western Michigan

Taylor Moton may be one of the best offensive tackles in the draft, and that’s not just hyperbole. The only thing is, he played pretty strictly on the right side for Western Michigan. There’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes value can be driven down if someone projects best as ‘just’ a right tackle in the NFL and not a right or left.

Although Moton projects best to the right tackle position, it could wind up working very well for Seattle, who could stand to upgrade both tackle spots.

Moton was someone that I watched excel at the Senior Bowl, and throughout his career at Western Michigan, he showed good feet and excellent technique in pass protection. He would be a big help for one of the league’s worst offensive lines.
