You would have to get elite production out of Taylor for his first 3 yeara.  Imo he is a 1 contract back.  The carries he had at Wisconsin will catch up to him.  Now he is a speciel talent but 900 carries in todays day and age is unheard of.  A high pick for assume 4 years is too much imo.  3rd or 4th?  I more inclined to do it.

 

 

....900 certainly takes its toll but then again, he's a youngster.....BUT those numbers as a steady diet in the NFL equal short career......look at the toll that ungodly carries had on DeMarco Murray, Larry Johnson, Dirty Bird Anderson, et al.....look at Seattle's Shaun Alexander...averages 330 carries/yr over a 5 year span (2001-2005)....in 2006, signed an 8 year, $62 mil deal (only $15 mil guaranteed) and went up in smoke............
