What Kevin Stefanski said about new Falcons OT Jawaan Taylor

Kaleb McGary's retirement may have come as a surprise to those outside the building, but the Atlanta Falcons knew it was a possibility and had an answer ready, signing former Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor the same day.

Taylor's contract is only a one-year deal, so we can't rule out the Falcons targeting a potential future franchise right tackle in the draft later this week.

At least for now Taylor is the logical candidate to start opposite long-time left tackle Jake Matthews come Week 1.

Asked about Atlanta's newest offensive lineman, head coach Kevin Stefanski had this to say at today's pre-draft press conference with general manager Ian Cunningham.

"Really good cultural fit," said Stefanski. "Great person. You know, enjoyed my time when he came in and just getting to know him a little bit. But he will fit in great with that room, and like Ian mentioned, he's played on some good football teams. He has some great experience at that position, which it's rare that you can have a guy that's available that we can put in there and lean on all that experience."
