Taylor Decker
School: Ohio State
Position: T
Positive: Three-year starter named Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2015. Lined up at both left and right tackle. Big, athletic tackle prospect with a nice degree of versatility. Fundamentally sound, sets with a wide base and blocks with good leverage. Patient in pass protection, stays square and correctly places his hands into defenders, knocking them from their angle of attack. Makes good use of blocking angles, squares into opponents and anchors in pass protection or turns defenders from the line to open running lanes. Plays with a large degree of quickness and stays with the action.
Negative: Does not show quick or natural footwork sliding off the edge. Must improve his finishing strength. Average skill blocking in motion.
Analysis: Decker was a consistent force at offensive tackle for Ohio State and is one of the more underrated prospects at the position. He possesses the size to hold down the right tackle spot on Sunday but also the athleticism to be used on the left side. He offers potential to immediately break into a starting lineup and at the same time comes with a large degree of upside potential.I can't run no more

4. TAYLOR DECKER | Ohio State 6070|310 lbs|4SR Vandalia, Ohio (Butler) 8/23/1994 (age 21) #68
YEAR (GP/GS) GRADE 1st-2nd Round 2012: (12/0) MEASUREABLES Arm: 33 3/4 | Hand: 10 | Wingspan: 80 1/8 2013: (14/14) 14 RT COMBINE 40-YD: 5.23 | 10-YD: 1.81 | 20-YD: 3.02 | BP: 20 | VJ: 29 | BJ: 08’05” | SS: 4.76 | 3C: 7.70 2014: (15/15) 15 LT PRO DAY BP: 22 | VJ: 25.5 2015: (13/13) 13 LT Total: (54/42) 28 LT, 14 RT
BACKGROUND: A four-star offensive tackle recruit out of high school, Decker committed to Notre Dame as a junior, but once Urban Meyer became head coach in Columbus, Ohio State (his “dream school”) entered the picture and he switched to the Buckeyes – also played basketball in high school and received interest from mid-majors to play collegiately. He enrolled early and saw action in 12 games as a true freshman, mostly on special teams before earning the starting right tackle job as a sophomore in 2013 and starting all 14 games. With Jack Mewhort graduating, Decker moved over to left tackle as a junior in 2014 and started all 15 games for the National Champion Buckeyes, earning Second Team All-Big Ten honors. He returned for his senior season and again started every game at left tackle, earning the Rimington-Pace Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year Award, First Team All-Big Ten and All-American honors. Decker accepted his invitation to the 2016 Senior Bowl, but later pulled out of the event.
STRENGTHS: Well-put-together with a large frame, essential body girth and very good core strength…utilizes his reach and strong hands to latch-and-control rushers from the outset…despite his height, shows the natural knee bend and sturdy anchor to absorb the rush and reestablish his base – has the power and punch to neutralize speed…balanced in his movements and shifts his weight well to shuffle and recover…terrific timing at the second level with the mobility to pull and occupy linebackers in space…physical drive blocker and plays with the nasty streak and competitive demeanor needed for the next level – blocks with attitude and stays pissed off as a run blocker…reliable, well-spoken and vocal leader with the make-up to start from day one in the NFL – embraces leadership role and the type who will be at the center of pre-game huddles…father (Ron) played football at Army…earned his animal sciences degree in Dec. 2015…All-American resume with durable experience as a three-year starter at both tackle spots – first Buckeye tackle to earn Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year since Orlando Pace.
WEAKNESSES: Naturally tall pad level and will lose the leverage battle when rushers are able to get underneath him…has the knee bend to sink and absorb, but can be late to drop his hips, taking away his anchor strength…needs to be more technically proficient with his reach and hand placement mid-kickslide – active puncher, but doesn’t consistently land his jabs…inconsistent snap anticipation and can be late to set up – has snaps on film where he seems to fall asleep, missing his usual urgency…has the aggressive take-on strength to sustain blocks, but needs to better use angles to his advantage…still developing his pre-snap recognition skills – can be fooled by delayed pressures.
SUMMARY: A three-year starter, Decker started the last 42 games at Ohio State, splitting time between left and right tackle – part of a senior class that won 50 games at Ohio State. He had a rough debut against Buffalo’s Khalil Mack (Oakland Raiders top-five pick in the 2014 NFL Draft) in his first career start, but has been an ascending talent since, learning from past mistakes and developing his skill-set. He has reliable character, can-do attitude and pro-ready make-up that fits NFL locker rooms – would be in the military if not for football. Decker can struggle at times with speed off the edge, especially flexible rushers who can bend underneath him, but he has the frame, balance and forceful hands to neutralize quickness and control the point of attack – doesn’t have a high ceiling, but projects as an immediate starter at left or right tackle worthy of first round consideration.Comment
