Dillard and Williams are better tackle prospects and Williams offers greater flexibility.

1.  Rashan Gary would hold that distinction for me and it seems most of the board.  But I am intrigued by the hostility to a J.Taylor pick.  In the interest of full disclosure, I am not a Gators fan, so I don't follow them game to game the way many of you do.  But from what I have seen of him, he looks pretty good.  All of the analysis from NFL Network, PFW, NFL Draft scout/Lindy's, thedraftnetwork.com and many others views him favorably.  The most I have heard is that he doesn't seem overly dominant.  Do any of you have any specific critiques of any specific weaknesses and any games I should study to illustrate your analysis?  Not calling you guys out, but I'm curious.

2.  Continuing on the above, this assumes-in part-Taylor is wholly incapable of playing LT.  I have seen maybe two guys (and I can't remember who they were, but they were on NFLN) speculate he may be able to play LT.  For that matter, this assumes-in part- he is not an upgrade over Parnell at RT.  I concede some may share your view, but under the rationale a stud defender will likely be on the board for us, and that defender would help this team more than Taylor would, even if Taylor would upgrade Parnell, and leaving that stud defender on the board would represent a waste.
