Alex Taylor. player. Pick Analysis. Offensive Tackle. South Carolina State. 1. 49. Combine Results

Green Bay brought in Rick Wagner as a replacement for the loss of Bryan Bulaga on the right side of the offensive line, but that does not take away the need to add more talent in the 2020 NFL Draft. While I expect the team to snag someone on the offensive line in the early rounds, I think adding a developmental option, later on, would be smart as well.

A popular name in the draft community that fits that profile is Alex Taylor out of South Carolina State.

He is an athletic specimen, standing at 6-foot-8 with absolute limbs. At the 2020 NFL scouting combine, Taylor’s arms measured in at 88” (7-foot-4) and his hands at over 11”. Both ended up being combine highs.

Taylor first jumped onto radars after an invite to the Senior Bowl and he was able to showcase his skills against some top talent for the first time in his career. He then made the most of his combine invite after tallying solid testing numbers that point to his impressive movement skills for a man of his stature.

While nobody is shy at pointing out just how raw he is from a technique standpoint, the physical profile is more than what you want and Taylor is well worth a flyer in the later rounds.
