If they could fit Jawaan Taylor in as a FA, for multiple years, mo' betta. I'm more a fan of a good RT on a rookie deal though. 

Taylor might frustrate some fans.

While his PFF blocking grades have been mostly good, his sack numbers have been high at times.
2019 - 9 sacks
2020 - 8 sacks
2021 - 6 sacks
2022 - 5 sacks

It's also worth noting that Taylor did not come in and play well his first couple years, and he was 35th pick in 2019.
So there's definitely no guarantee that an early draft pick plays well on the OL (especially OT).

While I like a few RT prospects in this draft, I don't know if there are any that I would feel 100% confidence in starting Day 1.
