I disagree here totally. The fact that Ford and Risner went immediately after proves that they needed to trade up to get Taylor. Ford is more of a G, and Risner is nowhere near as good of a run blocker. The pick provides not just "fine value," but exceptional value considering most mock had him either going to the Jaguars at #7 or soon after as a top-two OT in this draft. The pick also fills a critical need. I'm giving it a solid A.

Yeah, the only people that would give that a C grade are the only ones that don't watch the games and looks at combine numbers and spider charts.  Taylor is a great run blocker but he is also a very good pass blocker.  He gave up 1 sack all year and went against the pass pass rushers in the nation.  Swear, Allen, Burns etc.
