Positives - A former top ten NFL draft pick blessed with speed. Beyond that, the only positive that makes this pick worthwhile is that he’s upgrading from Boller to Culpepper at the QB position. This pick has a tremendous amount of upside for a WR selected in the 20th round.

Negatives - For four years Taylor has failed to sniff meeting expectations. At some point in time he will just need to be written off as an injury prone NFL bust.

Draft Strategy - Pretty much everyone is filling out there rosters by now and has one wildcard pick left. I felt comfortable that a serviceable defense and kicker would be on the board in the next tow rounds so I decided to pull the trigger on my last flier. With Robinson on board I wanted to take one last foray into Culpepper’s gaudy numbers. I really see Minnesota’s WR2 being a veteran with Williamson being the WR3. Taylor was a second shot at that WR2 production in a high flying offense.
