It would be easy to give up on many plays at that position, and that's what a lot of them get a bad rep for, e.g. Rogers, Haynesworth to name a couple. Taylor has the same rep to some degree.
Well Haynesworth is not a 3-4 NT. And the team either needs to get a 3-4 NT veteran (but not another Kemo) or develop one from the draft.
