Two people rarely ever see the same exact thing when it comes to any prospect. Some look for different things than others, etc etc. That's why it's best to get multiple takes, from multiple people, as well as doing your own scouting of said player/s and never base anything off of what just one person said/thinks.

I don't think anybody is bad-mouthing Taylor. If you're referencing me with that, thinking I'm bad-mouthing him, you're wrong because I'm not. I said he's a good player, but he isn't a top 10 pick talent wise in this draft imo.

I think it'd be a big mistake if we took him #7 overall, just like I thought it would have been a mistake to take Fournette #4 overall in 2017 and right now, that pick is looking like a huge mistake.

Wasn't directed at you. I was simply shocked at that thread wherein ZG tried to call Taylor out as failing on snaps that he either won or played solid enough to allow the offensive play to function. 

FWIW - I'd grade him as a late first rounder. And I was of the same mind with LF.

Ok, I gotcha and I agree.

I'd be far more accepting of taking Taylor if we traded down some and then drafted him. Would mean we'd gain some draft assets and still help that position. It still wouldn't be my first, second, or even third choice, but it'd definitely soften the blow a little bit.

I think all of our FA adds this off season made it easier for us to play the draft board and take BAP (I think that's the hope/thought around this time, every season though lol). We added enough depth that we shouldn't have our hands forced to take "said" position, but let the board fall will it may. Well, at least I think that's the hope anyways lol.

Man are these next 3 weeks going to take forever.
