Locked-in first-rounder whose receiving advantage over Derrick Henry may be overstated; Taylor's career-best 55 targets and 22.2 receiving yards per game last season represent an outlier, as in the two seasons prior he and Henry had identical receiving yardage per game (12.0), with Henry more efficient at 7.0 yards per target vs. Taylor's 5.4; missed 16 games over four years; inferior rushing metrics to Henry with 2.2 yards after contact per carry and 48.9% success rate vs. Henry's 2.6 YAC and 56.0%; accumulated 3,016 rushing yards (97.3 per game) vs. Henry's 3,516 (103.4); tied for No. 4 in DraftKings odds for 1,500+ rushing yards (+250) with Jahmyr Gibbs and James Cook; the source prefers Henry at the turn of Rounds 2-3 over Taylor in Round 1.
