Taylor has all the physical skills to be an excellent right tackle. The issue is on any given play he does just enough to keep his job. No more.  This is a mental issue which he can correct. Will he? I hope he does as currently we are having to depend on him. Even if we start Little on the right side this year one injury and he is in.

I don't see it at all. Taylor is slow to get out of his stance and moves like he has cement shoes. IMO, he is what he is, a bad O-Lineman. I don't think moving him inside will make much of a difference. I really don't think he could win the starting OG position opposite Scherff, even if we didn't add another interior O-Lineman. We have better options already on the roster and hopefully, we'll add more.
