I understand Burns is a good player, but that just shouldn't happen, especially for a guy who is suppose to be a top 10 talent.

Then you add onto the fact that he looks like he's basically just a RT, I don't see how that kind of guy can be a top 10 talent.

Can you show me where he gets bodied by Burns?

He played some of the best pass rushers in the country in Sweat, Burns, Allen, Gary, Winovich, and a few others.  I dont remeber Jawaan really getting manhadled by any of them.  Burns played on the left side early and later in the game but even Ivey had decent success against him.  Polite was the best pass rusher in that Fl St game by a good margin.  Gardner had a best of a game too.

There were clips going around a couple weeks ago about it and I don't really care enough to watch that 20 minute video to find the exact plays.

I'm not saying Taylor is a bad player, but he isn't a top 10 talent in this draft imo. We'd be stupid to pass up a trade down, or Hockenson, or one of the DL guys that will likely still be on the board at #7.

I think Jonah Williams and Dalton Risner are both better than Taylor and if RT is what they deem a must in the 1st round, trade down to the mid/late teens/early 20s and take one of them over reaching for Taylor.

Even then though, I think we'd be just fine with going after a RT in the 2nd/3rd/4th round honestly.

I think it would be dumb for them to take a lesser player at #7 just for the sake of taking that position, but this is the same front office who thought Fournette was a good pick at #4, so who knows.
