At this point, we know who Taylor is. He’s a very below average and slow tackle. Don’t care if he’s here or not because he won’t be starting on this team next year.

Did I say he was good?    He won't be starting but sometimes there are injuries. A lot of players have career years in a contract year.  It would be stupid to cut him before we see him with the new staff being he's still on a rookie deal

There was a major difference between the Cam Robinson situation last season and now. Last year's OT class was much stronger and deeper than it is this year. We had other options. This year we don't. Cam is the best of a bad situation and it's just for one year. He's a band-aid.

It doesn't matter, you wanted to cut him and he Cam was much better than the guy you wanted to draft

Based on what? His rookie season? Look at Andrew Thomas of the Giants. He had a horrible rookie season at LT and he turned things around last season and become a top 10 LT in the NFL. You cannot judge LT's based on their rookie year. Any seasoned football fan knows that.

It is when he's not even one of the top 3 players in the draft and we have the #1 overall pick. That would be a terrible move.

So then you're already giving up on a 23 year old Walker Little (turns 23 in April) who was drafted #45 overall in this past draft, or you're wasting $17m on Cam to sit on the bench?

Who said we're wasting anything? This gives us 2 viable starting Tackles going into the season and allows us to sit Jawaan Taylor on the bench, which automatically makes us better. It also keeps us from having to reach for an OT in the early rounds of a draft with a very weak OT class.
