Watching Taco Charlton is frustrating. He is an uber-talented prospect that has so much potential, yet he does not use it to the best of his ability. The senior out of Michigan is physically gifted, unfortunately, he does not use those gifts to the full potential. Charlton has great speed, and he often uses it get around the edge and blow up the Quarterback. He also carries a strong presence in the run game. The problem is, he is very inconsistent. Taco creates 0 pressure on too many plays. He either blows up a QB or is basically a traffic cone. Also, for a guy who has long arms, he doesn’t use them properly because if it wasn’t for his spine move, he would hardly ever get to the QB. Fortunately for him, he has all the tools to be an elite pass-rusher in the NFL. It is all a matter of him harnessing his physical gifts, working on his technique and being coached properly.
Projection: Mid 1st
