I'd bet that at least one and quite possibly two of Jenkins, Cosmi, or Eichenberg will be on the clock at 25. I also think there's a chance that Vera-Tucker will be there at 25 and while I think he would be better at guard I also think he can be a very good OT. Certainly a lot better than what we have. We'll have opportunities to upgrade tackle at 25 if we want.

We'll also have multiple chances to get top shelf developmental guys like Radunz, Little, Brown, or D'Ante with our day 2 picks. Brown went full Cosmi at the pro day today in particular. Insane athletes.

Now, I am pretty worried that we will pass all of them because Warhop has brainwashed Meyer into thinking that our oline is good as is...but if fixing OT is a priority we can do it pretty easily IMO.

Glad to see Brown did well in his pro day. I'll have to check it out. That guy has been steadily rising up my board. I know most people have Radunz ranked higher, but I kind of prefer Brown. He was dominant at the Senior Bowl and showed excellent footwork, quickness and balance. He keeps his pad levels low, despite his immense height and plays pretty loose as well. I know he's only played RT, but with his superb footwork, I think I'd give him a chance to play LT. If it doesn't work out, I move him back to RT. I like that kid a lot.

There were issues about his knee coming into the draft and if I remember correctly, there were rumors that some teams dropped him way down on their boards, because of the medicals on his knee. Not to mention that he was heavy footed and slow to get out of his stance, which has never improved.

How do you expect him to get better when he has the same inept O-Line coach that he has always had? If you just focus just on Taylor in games, he gets pushed backwards, almost immediately. He has trouble the second the play starts. That's why he has to hold so much, because he is constantly getting beat off the snap. He's just slow.

I’ll give you 1 reason as to why he thinks Taylor can still be good and it has nothing to do with his play or the coaches.....

Yep.
