You are comparing a college TE in a 12 game college season to an NFL player with a great QB in an NFL offense in 17 game seasons and this year he still played in 12 games.
True but 6 TD's for a career is underwelming especially the way college games are shootouts these days with no defense except for a few Big 10 teams. Like dieterbrock said we might have a guy as equally as talented Davis Allen on our bench.
And nobody said not to draft the kid, just not the game changer they were hoping for in the first round. Seeing him more in the 2nd or 3rd. Like Puka, his limitations or concerns had him in the 5th round
Loveland is a no brainer first rd stud who has 11 career TDs... I mean that's not overwhelming. And Taylor did play in the SEC. It's not like he was playing in the Big 12 or old PAC 12.
Loveland is a beast, if you cant see the difference I dont know what to say
It's not just about the TD's though Loveland is miles ahead of Taylor it's not even close.
I dont know how he was even brought in to the conversation. Pretty embarrassing really.
I was only pointing out TD numbers are not everything. Different systems and circumstances. For whatever reason, McShay was saying the NFL scouts love Taylor which is why he is rising and is making a number of top 30 lists now. I guess they don't know as much as you guys.
I've been guilty of saying explosive offense too but McVay's actual words were "versatile" offense. Who knows what that means.
Well maybe you should read what people are saying and not twisting it in to an argument? Nobody said he wasnt a good player, what was said is that he's not a TD machine. And he clearly is not. Taylor had only 2 the team's 29 passing TD, Loveland conversely had 5 of the 12 TD passes thrown by Michigan QB, that is a TD producer.
Remind me, when do the Rams pick?
Some perspective. Taylor played with 2 first rd picks at WR in 22' & 23' and Lacy this year.
He caught 2 td passes out of 29
Bingo. This entire back and forth was in regards to considering Taylor with the Rams R26 pick. I stated IMO I wouldn’t be interested until around pick 45. I also pointed out he was not a TD machine in college. So wouldn’t it be interesting to see the Rams get Taylor at R2.46 AND garner a R1 pick in 2026. Much much more value for that pick. That was my point. Sorry if it wasn’t clear.
Dude, I never said he was or wasnt a redzone threat. I was just stating he would be a good addition. He is talented.
And I also mentioned him as a trade down target, but said there were many draftnik types mocking him to Philly or the Chiefs late rd 1, or an early rd 2 pick. I didn't claim he would be a great pick at 26. Just said if stuck there he might be an option.
Nobody but you said it was an issue.
True... yet people jumped down my throat for suggesting Taylor was a target for us.
