Somewhat similar physical profile to Lawrence Guy, who saw a lot of snaps on NE's DL. Think Flores will like Taylor's length, too.
You don't mean Danny Shelton...do you?in the system flores just led the nose wasnt a true 2 gap nose, so imo taylor would be fine
There really isn't much to talk about here. Vincent Taylor IS the starting Right DE for the 2019 Miami Dolphins in their base defense.
The real question is: Is Davon Godchaux a fit at all anywhere in any of the hybrid fronts they are planning on running?????
Godchaux is a really good football player, and extremely young for a successful NFL defensive tackle. He continues to improve on an almost a weekly basis and is still under his rookie contract, which, being a 5th round pick is peanuts.
Godchaux has trade value.........but how much?

as much as I love Taylor, if Christian Wilkins is sitting there at 13, we take him and don't think twice about it...6'4, 315, and I believe is one of the most NFL ready players coming out!!!
I don't think he would be a waste...he doesn't have the extension but that can be perfected...he has tremendous power and shed capabilities at the LOS and can absolutely be a force in redirecting or interrupting a play. He also has a ridiculous motor and chased down so many tackles from behind, from the side, He has two gab ability. He tracks the ball carrier instinctively and used great hand leverage to shed blockers. His acceleration after reading a play is outstanding as well. He would definitely need some coaching to be an elite NT but would bring a ton of intangibles...Wilkins is probably a 3-technique in the NFL. Not that some of the bigger guys haven't been good 3-4 ends, but it is usually the really extraordinary guys like Haloti Gnota and such that have been able to do that.
Wilkins at NT would be a waste, even if did turn out to be Snacks Harrison run stuffer.
