Klondike Cat Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Now the NFL is drafting college players. I don't think Taylor Martinez will be drafted, but I could be wrong. He could sign as a free agent, but not many free agent QBs make it in the NFL. Kurt Warner and Tony Romo have, but they're the exception. I suspect Martinez will end up playing in the Arena League or in the CFL. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Is Taylor healthy yet? Seems like it all depends on his foot. He's clearly a good enough athlete to play. When he's 100%. Quote Link to comment

Saint Boseph Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Taylor's going to get a shot somewhere at a camp, either at WR or DB. Whether he sticks on the 53 man roster, I don't know. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 He is lightning in a bottle. A great seam runner with incredible straight line speed. Watching him for three years he appears unable to lower a shoulder to take a hit, receive the hit or deliver one. He also appears to have little ability to juke a defender. Punt returner or KO maybe. DB, unsure of his ability to cover or tackle. Receiver, ability to make folks miss or even catch the ball. He tested very well at pro day and supposedly did a great job on the scout team as a receiver so he might have that ability. On speed alone, IMO, he gets an invite somewhere. Quote Link to comment
Creighton Duke Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Could be very valuable on a practice squad, but on an active roster....not so much. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Sure, he will sign a free agent contract with someone. NFL teams aren't out a whole lot by throwing a couple hundred thousand at a kid to come to camp and see what he can do. If they don't like what they see they cut them loose pretty fast. If he makes a team the only way I see it is as a KR/WR. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I would love to see Taylor as a receiver if healthy. I don't think he would make it on the Defensive side. He just isn't a physical person. I am not saying he shy's from contact he just isn't a defensive player. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The raiders will draft him or sign him as a FA because he's fast and they're the raiders. 1 Quote Link to comment

Saint Boseph Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 last week Taylor's dad apparently wouldn't offer anything more than that there have been positive developments as of late regarding his pro prospects and teams interested Quote Link to comment
