I have said it over and over since we drafted him...despite being a first round pick, Taco is a bit of a project. His size and length demands he play LE, in my opinion, (which is where the Cowboys featured him last night), however, to play LE and be effective he will need a year in a strength and conditioning program before he can use his length to his advantage. His length needs to be supplemented by strength...and until he does that, he will be hard pressed to keep NFL-caliber OT's off his body.
I know it sucks that our first round pick may not make much of an impact this year, but if he has the right attitude, the right commitment, and the requisite heart, he'll be just fine. Of course, that is a BIG "if," but that's the gamble you take in every draft with every player. If they don't have the aforementioned intangibles, there talent and physical prowess means absolutely nothing on a professional level.
Thoughts?
I disagree.
