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

Can we even trust Vinny to draft a starting RT at #13? Who knows what Vinny, with his "Best Available Player" philosophy, might do?

Vinny's first round picks have been pretty good.

All of the 1st rounders have been "no-brainers", meaning you can't give him credit for anything.

I don't think people realize how many teams use the best available player philosophy (Packers, Ravens, Colts, just to name three off the bat)

Anyway, we'll take an OT at #13 I'd imagine, but if the best OTs are gone by 13 we'll go LB. We're not taking William Beatty, for example, at 13

I wonder if we would have signed Haynesworth had we taken Okoye instead of Landry. Of course the freedom thing among defensive lineman seems to be an issue so I doubt he would have been as succesful here but you have to wonder.

Glad to see people still talking about Ray Willis but it seems less and less likely that we'll bring him in hear. Which is kind of exciting as it means the front office is probably thinking hard of getting one of the big 4 or worst case scenario one of the elite 8.

or it could also mean we give Heyer a full year of starting at RT before replacing him.

Personally I really doubt that they are willing to take that chance.

Unless you just absolutely distrust the FO, which is certainly a lot of people on this board, everything I have heard reported was that the lines were the area that they need to concentrate on. Vinny's comments on 980 Friday were that last years picks need to step up so he's not going with WR/TE. Along with getting a solid DT in Haynesworth, and the DB's are set, why would we not get an OL guy? Not much reason to think we would do otherwise that I can see.
