What? He absolutely fell.

Why does Dave feel like he got two first round talents if Taylor didn't fall?

The first right tackle off the board is usually somewhere in the late 20s. The fact is that there were very few Olinemen taken in the 1st round this year. In absolute terms the 1st pure Right Tackle was the 5th lineman taken, and that is usually how it goes in every draft. Taylor was over-rated by talkers who put too much emphasis on the Jaguars need and not enough on Taylor's actual value. Yes, he "fell" 10 spots or so from the usual 1st Right Tackle spot, but that isn't surprising with how few OLinemen were taken ahead of him.
