You are going to use a FIRST ROUND pick on a RB to catch passes? I get it in the later rounds.
You got it with.....group....so why change that?
Marshall Faulk was catching 80 passes a season, see the difference? Hell, Roger Craig caught 92.
We had a chance to get a bellcow RB who was considered the best in college football. Let Williams catch passes Maybe Taylor can catch passes.
Hell, Jim Brown 2500 yards, 20TD's catching the ball.

Maybe. I just know Reid said CEH could be a better Westbrook and as others have pointed out Westbrook in his prime caught 73,61,77,90, and 54 passes.
In regards to Taylor he maybe end up great but I am wondering if he has the stigma that alot of supposedly great Wisconsin RB's have had and that once they get to the NFL they aren't very good because in most cases Wisconsin's OLine dominates teams. James White and Melvin Gordon are good backs just not great ones.
Also I like to look to see how players performed in the biggest games and there is no question CEH performed better in 2019 and did it against NFL type talent and teams.
Taylor:
vs Michigan 203 yds and 2 TD's
vs OSU 52 yds
vs Iowa 250 yds
vs OSU 148 yds 1 TD
vs Oregon 94 yds
CEH:
vs Florida 134 yds 2 TD's
vs Auburn 136 yds 1 TD
vs Alabama 103 yds 3 TD's and 1 Receiving TD
vs Georgia 57 yds
vs Oklahoma 2 carries 14 yds in an absolute blowout
vs Clemson in NC game 110 yds
