    You know that kid almost went to Harvard? Jonathan Taylor. He majored in astronomy and physics at Wisconsin.

    I'm just not that big on him. He's got a lot of carries on him. The fumbles are a problem. He dropped some balls. I didn't want RB in the 1st, but if we took one, I would have preferred Swift.

    You would think he would have ended up at a school closer to Harvard academically, which still has a FBS football program. A school like Stanford or Northwestern.

    Maybe Wisconsin has a particular good astronomy and physics dpt?

    You don't take RBs in the 1st round in general, but especially not when you already have en elite starting RB. I'm just going to leave it at that.

    Supposedly the cap may be going up 40 million in 2021. I think we'll be able to retain Henry just fine.

    I'm the biggest JT truther you will meet, but it's about positional value. Theres no RB I wouldve taken at 29. But JT is going to be a top 5 RB in this league very quickly.

    My concern about Taylor as a prospect is that the offense was built around him and that O-Line was filled with NFL players.

    Then again I had the same concerns about MGIII. And Ron Dayne. So I guess we'll see.

    18 fumbles with 15 of those fumbles being turnovers. He turns the ball over, so the risk is there that he sees the bench, but the Colts wanted their guy and went up. Curious with all the those miles on him as well how successful he will be.

    Rather build the line and plug and play a RB

    RB at 29 would be hard pill to swallow
