And had a year that he wasn't really good but was still coming back from said ACL. And PFF has given him average grades over his 32 games. Not poor ones. Cam's biggest issue, imo, is penalties. Which I think comes with maturity and time.
Taylor was a rookie last year and improved greatly over the final 8 games.

If you can have a guy come in and be a pro bowler at G or "give him a shot at OT" I'd take the pro bowler
And Lance Zierlein comp'd him to Cam Robinson

Cam led the league in pressures allowed, gave up a league high 3+ pressures in a whopping 10 different games, and was like 4th in penalties as a rookie. He was awful sorry. I am really not a fan of revisionist history.

Yeah if I recall correctly he had some rookie struggles vs some of the league's best pass rushers. But he was only responsible for giving up 2 sacks. And in 29 of his 31 starts he was either a rookie or coming off a major injury. I don't think he's put enough tape out there to call him a bust. But that's just me personally.

Don't get it twisted, I'm all about moving Cam inside or replacing him if there is a better LT to replace him with.
I'm just not ready to replace him with a guy most of the experts (ya know guys who know more than us and get paid so) pin as a RT or OG in the NFL.
But I'm all about drafting Wirfs since most of the experts consider he could be an all-pro guard.
I'm even open to the idea of him competing with Cam Robinson if the coaches want to see what he's got. I'm just not sure why you think a guy with like 3 total starts at LT in college is going to come in and be substantially better than what we have now.... But maybe you get paid to scout for the NFL or something and just hang out here for fun?
