IMHO Fred Taylor is the best RB in the NFL. Better than Faulk, Edge, Dillon, or whoever else you want to throw out there. He's fast, can run you over, & can catch the ball out of the back field. Sure he's hurt a lot but he's just had a little bad luck. There's no such thing as a curse, except on my Cubs.
I'd give them our 1st & 3rd for Taylor & a 2nd.
I tend to put Fred Taylor in the class with Terell Davis/Jamal Anderson of players who are truly top notch when they can stay healthy. When Taylor is 100 percent healthy, there is no question he is one of the top 3 runningbacks in the game. He also makes the team around him better. Its no coincidence that he has missed large chunks of two consecutive seasons and the Jaguars have had losing records in both. This trade opportunity don't sounds too risky to me.. If the risk pays off and Taylor remains healthy, it will be one of the all time steals. Giving up one of their 3 Third Rd Draft picks is nothing for a RB the caliber of Taylor's. The big risk is the clamp his contract would put on the salary cap. Id rather see the Dolphins go after Willie Roaf and/or Boselli, then once they improve their O Line, if Lamar Smith leaves, explore the option of trading for Fred Taylor. Maybe they can draft Chester Taylor of Toledo in a lower round.. That would be cool.. DOLPHIN BACKFIELD- Fred and Chester Taylor.
