I'm not to sure about that. Especially right away. He has Lattimore and Adebo clearly in front of him at CB. Unless Ceedy moves from nickel I don't see where Taylor would start.

Nick Underhill said that Taylor would be challenging Adebo for the starting spot days after the draft and that surprised me. I'm still convinced that Taylor will move to Safety at some point.
