Dynasty Summary: A disappointing Combine didn’t help Barber’s stock and he’s slipped from what little spotlight he may have once enjoyed. Has great size for the position and runs well behind his pads and with good leverage. He is patient, allows blocks to be set ahead of him and is willing to attack through the line of scrimmage. Better acceleration than size would suggest he is faster on the field than his timed forty of 4.59. Diagnosed with ADHD but has fought through it and excelled in the classroom before having his best year as a senior. Tends to get caught behind the line of scrimmage with paralysis by analysis on occasion, when patience works against him. Better recognition will be needed. Barber is a sneaky third round fantasy selection due to his size and upside.

NFL.com: Barber has the size and enough wiggle to make an NFL roster, but his draft value might be determined by his ability to help on special teams and on third downs.
Dynasty Summary: The son of former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, Kelvin does resemble his father in many areas but size is not one of them. On the border of being well sized for the position, added strength and weight will be necessary at the next level but could also impact his greatest asset, agility. Taylor has impressive agility and swivels well above his hips. Has the ability to get small through the line of scrimmage and feel his way to the second level. Shows enough patience consistently to allow blocks and seams to form, uses his acceleration to take advantage. Despite being neither an overly strong runner nor ultra productive, he should get a chance at the next level.
Rotoworld: NR.
Mark Dulgerian: Taylor has some "grinder" to him and he's pro-ready thanks to the tutelage of his father. He should emerge from camp as the team's No.2 or No.3 back. --

Mark Dulgerian: Injuries, inconsistency, and lack of production is why he's a 7th rounder. However, his big play flashes and pass catching ability likely enticed a team that values chunk plays from its backfield. --
