I feel CB, TE, RB, and RT are higher priority than a safety to compete with Scott for this year.
If they pick up some extra picks, then I can see that happening.

I get the sentiment with Taylor, which is why I proposed Remigio in Rd 7. When I made the mock, Irv Smith wasn't signed, so I could be ok going Remigio in Rd 7 instead of Sims.

You seem to have a much lower evaluation on Johnson than I do. While you won't change my mind on Johnson, who would you propose instead that can pass block, catch, and run that will confidently be there on Day 3?

Personally, S is a bigger need than CB.  At S, we need a potential starter.  At CB, we need depth/guy to groom.  However, there's unlikely to be a S worth the 28th pick available.  You can also argue that you can get by with mediocre S's if you have standout corners.

RT isn't a need at this point.  If a RT is the BPA and you're convinced he has a reasonable chance to start, then I get it, but a mid round T isn't going to play this year in all likelihood.  We've got 7-8 T's already on the roster, depending on what we count Ford as.  A mid round RT is going to be Plan D, at best.  I wouldn't take a Plan D over a Plan A or B.

I would take Eric Gray over Johnson, but being realistic, if you're removing RB's from consideration if they aren't good pass blockers coming out, you're removing 80-90% of any given class.  The remaining 10-20% generally don't give you enough as a runner or a receiver because of athletic limitations.  Most RB's have to learn pass pro when they come in.
