What about Taylor?

[Huskrz65]

I don't know if this subject has come up before or not. But with all of the talk of Frost in the other thread, what are the chances of Zac being drafted? And if he's not, what do you think his immediate plans are? Do you think Callahan would offer him a position as a coach?

My thoughts are that he would make a good pro QB. He knows the WCO. He just isn't getting alot of publicity. We'll see if the UT game raises his stock.

I would think someone would take a chance on his with a 7th round pick. He was asked if he has any coaching aspirations a couple weeks ago and he said he hasn't thought about that far down the road.

Zac is going to get drafted in the 3rd to the 7th round. With being 6-2 and playing in a pro style offense he will be drafted. He will be a backup quaterback in the pros. He won't start but be a quality back-up. Zac is a damn good quaterback and one of the toughfest I seen. For only being 2 years at the program I think the Husker fans will make him a Husker legend. To me, he saved the program. Without him who knows how this whole fireing Solich and hireing Callahan would have gone. Zac is proud to be a Husker and so I'm I. HUSKER FOR LIFE!!!! Strength Determination Merciless Forever

I think that Zac will likely be drafted in a late round. If not he will almost surely be picked up as an undrafted FA. He is far too talented by being in the nation's top 3 in passing efficiency to go without someone at least taking a look at him.

Taylor is an outstanding athlete. Not to worry, he'll have a bright future.

[huskeraddict]

If he doesn't make it, I would love to see him come back and coach here. Don't pull a Frosty on us Zac!

[Hawkeyehusker]

Zac will go somewhere. So will Keller. When was the last time Nebraska had QB's drafted in consecutive years?

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I think he will be drafted in the 4th round or so..............Hopefully to my St. Louis Rams!!!! I would love that!!! Taylor is one tough S.O.B. and I wish him nothing but the best if he doesn't make it to the NFL I would love for him to come back as a coach.....

[808Husker in KCMO]

Thats what the Rams need. Another QB taking up space on the roster. Why the Eff do we have gus ferrotte? Personally, I love that Fitzpatrick kid.

[huskernumerouno]

I think Zach gets drafted 3 or 4th round and has some success in the nfl. He has a great grasp on the WCO and would be ahead of the learning curve.

Listening to Mel Kiper on ESPN sports center before the season started, said that Taylor would be drafted maybe by the 4th or 5th round. Who knows his stock may have risen since then in the eyes of some teams. I would like to see him go to the Vikings.

 

 

 

GBR!!!

ZT will get drafted no problem. As for Scott Frost, you knock him for trying to make a living. Do you guys hate Tommie Frasier too since he is a head coach? What about Turner Gil?

[CENTEXHUSKER]

Zac may not be getting much publicity from the media, but I'm willing to bet that the NFL scouts have been taking notes. The guy can handle the position, proven leader, isn't afraid to stand in the pocket, can throw a frozen rope, and has shown some mobility(granted he isn't Vick, but who is?). I think he will go in the 4-5 round at a bargain.

Gruden sounded way to impressed with Taylor for them to not pick him with their last pick at worst... I'm sure he will go 3rd-6th round. Up or down depending on this XII Championship Game, Bowl game, and Combine.

Most of that was buddy talk for Cally's benefit. I've seen flashes of Taylor and his numbers are good and he seams to come through at just the right time.

 

I don't buy into the whole WCO/learning curve. If a team needs a QB fast they'll get a veteren. If they draft a QB it's for the future if at all possible. I don't think he gets ANY points in the draft for his understanding of the WCO. Toughness in college is one thing but toughness as a QB in the Pro's is another. A pro QB has got to be tough mentally and smart enough to avoid very fast 300 lb guys. There ain't not QB in the NFL today that is physically tough enough to deal with the hits from the current top D linemen, LB's and blitzing secondaries. It's a different game at a different level. Ask Trent Green.
