Taylor is the best RT and second best OT on the roster. McIntoad is much better at LT than RT. Thus, both requirements are met.
Additional reasons:
1. McIntoads bad knee he is better at backup where there is less daily wear
2. Now is the time to develop the young linemen not after the rebuilding is complete
3. There is no reason to develop a 31 year old tackle
It makes no sense to me why McIntoad is the starting RT.

Good post. But I'm not sure your reason 2 (top) is necessarily the case (though I hope you are right). From all I've read Taylor was a LT in college. I have never heard that RT is his best position.
