Taylor is a tough one. I'm one of the people who never saw it, thought his pass-pro was overrated and his run blocking awful. I hated the contract and still do, and would love us to find a way to move on.
But also, the options we had once we bailed on Orlando were awful, and he has looked pretty horrible for the Bengals this year. Maybe there's a world where we keep Brown, draft a Wylie upgrade at RT and it works out better. Could absolutely see that. But equally, it might have been the best option from a bad bunch.
The bigger shame, certainly for this year, was having drafted guys like Morris and Kingsley that just haven't been up to it, and not hitting on an OT the last few years. Tough one.
