The Forgotten Man: Taylor Moton

With the exit of Norwell, and the vacancy left on the line, it's been posts about free agents, posts about drafting o-line at #24 but I very rarely see ANY mention of Taylor Moton who basically red-shirted for us last season...

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/taylor-moton?id=2557871

The man is a mountain and is almost the exact same size as Norwell (Moton 6'5'' / 320) I don't believe he was taken in the 2nd to just be a future tackle, with Kalil set to start out left, and Williams who solidified himself as a legit tackle on the right, Moton's flexibility to play inside out is something that was touted by scouts as a prospect even before we selected him 64th overall. In all honesty he reminds me of the flexibility Travelle Wharton provided as a guy who was able to play LT/LG well. 

I still think pick #24 is going to be designated for the hopes of an additional offensive weapon as I believe the Smith trade was insurance / veteran presence in case the draft doesn't fall our way, and with that in consideration, Larsen is also a swing G/C who played well for us during Kalil's absence last season. I'm not as worried about the OL as some, I think we are positioned well to translate well into next season, I also believe they will still look to add youth/depth in the middle rounds.

Forget this "future OT" crap. We need to put our best 5 OL on the field. If that means playing Moton at OG then so he it. Plenty of players have moved positions on the OL during their careers.

Lol now it’s “forget this future OT crap” but just yesterday and all last offseason no one wanted Whitworth because Kalil was younger.

Kalil might even end up retiring before Whitworth and that’ll just make this hilarious.

Agreed. He hasn't even played LT in college so why would we be concerned with him being the future there?

Which is why we need to draft LT...

Your constant negativity has completely stripped you of objectivity and reason. I said yesterday that I wanted Whitworth over Kalil. Playing Moton at OG this season doesn't mean you're restricted to playing him at OG and only OG in the future.

Seriously, if I was as negative as you are I'd just stop. Find something to do with your time that you actually enjoy.

Who says I don’t enjoy this Billy Blinders?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
