Calvin Taylor. 113. player. 833. . Defensive Tackle. Wildcats

Calvin Taylor has made a name for himself this season, being a versatile defensive lineman that can play in multiple different spots across the line. At 6’9 310-pounds, Taylor will get a good push on the line wherever he is.

Taylor has already recorded five sacks this season, as well as two forced fumbles and 24 tackles, showing improvement in every category from last season. As a senior, Taylor could come in right away and make an immediate impact on the defensive line.

The Raiders have invested multiple draft picks on the defensive line over the past few drafts, but that should not stop them from continuing to stack talent up front. Their advancements up front on both sides of the ball have been a major difference in the team’s success, and Taylor would be a great get in round 4.
