Is paying Jason Taylor $8.5M the best use of salary cap dollars?

Can they convert his salary into a bonus and use that for cap room to sign a RT like Willis?

You don't know what Willis is going to sign for but what is wrong with using a draft pick. Every other (good) team fills positions in the draft.

Personally, I think that the tackles in the draft (especially Oher and Smith) will be better than Willis.

Nothing is wrong with using a draft pick. I'd rather get a 25 year old RT with NFL starting experience and draft a position of long term need (DE to replace Taylor or LB to replace Fletcher) than draft a tackle now and still have both of those needs next offseason.

That would be a good idea if we had all our picks! Now we have openings at RT,DE and OLB with no 2nd round pick.
