Who would be worth our next year's first rounder?

To jump back into the first like we did with Staley. I was thinking about Phil Taylor, the NT from Baylor. At 333 of lean fattie mass, he's been rockin at the SB terrorizing the middle of the south OL. I know Fangio's NT at Stanford was Fua at 305. But man, couldn't Taylor be another piece that's missing for our 3-4 given how quick he is for that size, like Raji for GB?

The reason I ask that sometimes our pressure toward the inside was lax at times and Franklin couldn't generate enough push inside. I am seeing the same with Fua at times in the Orangebowl. One could surmize that given Taylor's girth, speed and quickness with the same kind of hands of Fua and Franklin, that he would be better suited for our D.

He also could be used as a rotational DE, too.

I saw what Balti did with Nagta and Mt. Cody. Damn. IMO, we still need that beef at NT. JMO.

Is he worth it? If not who possibly? Not sayin' do it, but rather what's the possibilities?

He's probably a mid-second round guy, maybe a little earlier. I would've understood a trade for Cody because he was a monster and a brick wall at NT. Taylor just isn't worth a likely #15-20 overall pick, IMO.

Plus, next year's QB class looks to be pretty good and if Harbaugh can't find his QB this offseason (very likely), next year's draft will be extremely important.
