Definitely. He is a sure fire top 20 DB and possible top 10 in 2005. His trial will get postponed and he is too talented to keep off the field.

Taylor's legal troubles are well documented. As a 'Skins fan, I'm rooting for him but even I truly can't tell you what the outcome will be. My gut tells me he'll get the Jamal Lewis treatment at worst and won't miss any PT because of this. The wild card in this mix is the tough FL gun laws which mandate certain minimum sentences, which in this case are three years; the max is 15 years. Still, I think this will get pled out somehow and will be resolved.
As for Taylor's on-field talent, I've said this before and I stand by it. He's a once-in-a-decade talent at safety. The Ronnie Lott comparisons are not overstatements. He's easily the most physically talented guy on that defense, and that defense is full of talented guys.
Here's what makes him an IDP stud in my book. Look at the last 8 games last year (which is fair because by that point he had learned a complex defense and had also already served his team-imposed DUI arrest suspension). In my league's pretty standard IDP scoring, he averaged exactly 10 points per game. Extended across an entire season, that of course translates to 160 points, or second place among safeties in my league, only 5 points less than Ed Reed had. Only 6 guys had more than 130 points, and only 8 had more than 120. You start getting some pretty nice VBD numbers out of that.
He's only going to get better. And Gregg Williams knows exactly how to use him to maximize his impact on the game.

331st? He is no better than a 337th. What were you thinking?
