I think they'll offer Taylor something along the lines of 4 years to the tune of $28M - $30M. That would put him just within the top ten of highest paid right tackles. 

I think you have to pick and choose your battles here. He's not elite. So, you're not paying him like he's elite. Similar to Cam Robinson's situation. It'll look like you're overpaying initially, until you realize the better players at both respective positions will get their next wave of contracts and all of a sudden it looks like we're paying them peanuts again.

My concern with Walker Little is that, despite all the off season hype and training camp focusing in on this battle. Little showed very little. My concern is that they now have a 2nd RD pick collecting dust on the sidelines instead of actually contributing. 

Baalke and Pederson need to figure that out. Can he play elsewhere on the line? Maybe LG? Bartch will be rusty coming back next year from IR. You don't want to over work Shatley incase something happens with Fortner. Scherff is going into his 2nd year on a two year deal as well. 

I think we're keeping Taylor and Little for those reasons stated above. Taylor is competent. Little is very cap friendly. You have to get them both out there at some point to make the value fit.
