Offseason fluff pieces from OTAs are usually nothing to take into account. But when it’s about a player the general manager valued so highly that they traded up for him, it’s worthy of being classified as “intriguing”.
Taywan Taylor was the 72nd overall pick in last April’s draft. Tennessee Titans GM Jon Robinson traded up 11 spots to secure Taylor, a player they envision being a second or third wide receiver for years to come. With first round receiver Corey Davis in tow, trading up for Taylor spoke volumes about what the Titans thought of their receivers and of Taylor.
