Ex-coach Dave Campo on 1010 this past week stated something that resonates with me.  Generally, he thinks Cam is a bottom 10 starting LT in the league, not worthy of another tag.  Although he acknowledged that he is one of the Jag's better linemen, that does mean much on a subpar line.  For me, Walker Little was drafted in round 2 to be a starting LT (with needed experience/development due to limited college reps).  He got some limited practice reps at RT so that he could perform in the game day active swing tackle role, but it is not his position of strength.  He showed late last season, in my mind, that he will be able to handle the LT role going forward, and a side benefit is that he is significantly less expensive. 

Taylor has been poor at RT, and needs to be upgraded.  The good thing is that there are options to adequately upgrade the RT spot, more cost effectively.  I am more of an advocate in signing a RT vet in free agency, such as Trent Brown or Morgan Moses.  If you want to find one in the draft, trade back or use round 2 or later.  If they draft Neal, I can see the merit, but I just don't think it is the best use of the 1st pick.

Swing tackle has been mentioned by some.  If Taylor was bad at RT, I do not want him potentially to need to be the starter at LT.  He would get Trevor annihilated.  He needs to be moved into OG, and provide backup RT only consideration.  The one guy seldom mentioned is Will Richardson that I think the team may re-sign.  He is a valued game day active swing player due to his versatility at both tackle and guard.  If not a Will Richardson fan, a young OT can be drafted in likely rounds 3 or 4 to develop and fill the swing role.
