Re: Pre-draft visit -- Baylor DT Phil Taylor
Phil Taylor to visit Jets, Steelers, Browns, five others
Baylor nose guard in high demand
by Aaron Wilson
MARCH 26, 2011
Massive Baylor nose guard Phil Taylor has eight upcoming official visits, including the New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.
Taylor conducted three private workouts this week with the Browns, Chiefs and an undisclosed AFC playoff team.
Taylor is regarded as a rising prospect on draft boards, especially after the Senior Bowl where he shoved around blockers.
Taylor is a big, strong anchor at 6-foot-3, 334 pounds.
At the scouting combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 5.09 seconds and bench pressed 225 pounds 31 times.
Taylor recorded 62 tackles, seven for losses and two sacks last season and was named second-team All-Big 12.
Taylor transferrred from Penn State after being suspended after a fight at the student union during a fraternity function.
A felony aggravated assault charge was eventually dropped, and Taylor didn't get into any trouble at Baylor and was named to the Big 12 Commissioner's honor roll.
During his first season in Waco, Taylor recorded 25 tackles 2 1/2 for losses, a half-sack, one interception and two blocked kicks.

Re: Pre-draft visit -- Baylor DT Phil Taylor
He definitely won't get past the JetsThe Steelers’ went through seven consecutive drafts (2003-09) without taking an offensive lineman in the first two rounds, the longest such streak by any franchise this century.Comment

Re: Pre-draft visit -- Phil Taylor & Rodney Hudson
His size throws me off, though. When I see Doug Legursky standing among the likes of behemoths like Flozell Adams, Max Starks, and Chris Kemoeatu, he looks tiny. Well, Legursky is 15 lbs heavier than Hudson is.Originally posted by hawaiiansteelSteeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

Taylor at #31 would be great.
No interest in Hudson."My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"Comment

Re: Pre-draft visit -- Phil Taylor & Rodney Hudson
I have to agree with Oviedo. I definitely don't want to consider Hudson in the 1st round.Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.Comment

Re: Pre-draft visit -- Phil Taylor & Rodney Hudson
What to do with Phil Taylor?
Would you move him into the NT spot? Do you take Hampton off the field? Could he play some kind of hybrid DL position like Ngata? Does he play end?
That would be quite the fun situation for the mad scientist Lebeau to have.Comment

Re: Pre-draft visit -- Phil Taylor & Rodney Hudson
The only Guard The Steelers should be considering in Round 1 is Pouncey. And that is only because of his pedigree. There are better DE's/OT's/CB's to be had for value in round one than a guard. But this isnt me worryin. The Steelers always nail the first 2-3 rounds for the most part. I'm sure they'll get it right again. I just go into the draft just like every year-Hoping that a BPA is also a need filler.Comment

Re: Pre-draft visit -- Phil Taylor & Rodney Hudson
At #31 I would not hesitate to consider Marcus Cannon. You get a starting Guard who will be able to move outside to RT. Even Pouncey II won't be able to do that.Originally posted by sentinel33
I think Cannon is #31 worthy and would fill both an immediate and long term need."My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"Comment

Re: Pre-draft visit -- Phil Taylor & Rodney Hudson
Phil Taylor would be a pick for the future. Snack turns 34 in September and Hoke turns 35 next week. If we drafted Taylor, we may not re-sign Hoke, who is an UFA. If we do re-sign him, he has shown that he can also fill in at DE occassionally as needed. You could have Hampton backed up by Taylor, and Keisel and Hood backed up by Smith and Hoke. That would be a heck of a d-line rotation. Use Hood-Hampton-Keisel as our starters in the 3-4, and maybe use Woodley-Smith-Taylor-Harrison as our 4 man front in nickel and dime packages. Everyone would be fresh. The two young bucks would make sure our 30-somethings don't get worn down.Originally posted by steeler_fan_in_t.o.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

Re: Pre-draft visit -- Phil Taylor & Rodney Hudson
Florida T Marcus Gilbert & FSU G Rodney Hudson Reportedly Will Visit Steelers
Two offensive lineman who played their college ball in the state of Florida will reportedly make pre-draft visits to Pittsburgh as Florida tackle Marcus Gilbert and Florida State guard Rodney Hudson reportedly have visits scheduled to the South Side. Gilbert played both tackle positions for the University of Florida this past season and made 30 career starts for the Gators, including all 13 games in 2010. Hudson was a four-year starter for the Seminoles at guard and projects as a guard/center type at the next level. Gilbert is projected as a 3rd or 4th round pick while Hudson is projected to be drafted sometime in the 2nd round.
