Rather than the authoritarian pounding of the table and saying we should have done this I will invite discussion. I did not advocate this before the draft, I did not think Taylor would be there at 29.
My viewpoint assumes several things.
1. Johnathan Taylor is special. He is the best RB in this draft.
2. I'm only luke warm about our first rd pick. I'm afraid Wilson will be like TJ Fluker and will end up playing inside at guard.
3. I'm not convinced that Evans is an every down back.
4. Expensive long term deals for 27 year old RBs are usually a mistake.
Curious what the response will be. It just seems to me that if we cannot sign Henry in 2021 we will be using a 1st rd pick on a RB anyway.
