From the article

Taylor was RB4 in PPG, but from Week 12 onwards was the RB21, with an explosive run rate of 0.7% (41st) and ranking 36th in yards after contact and scoring only three rushing touchdowns... if you're that vulnerable to poor quarterback play, do you deserve to be drafted with the third overall pick when your quarterback is coming off said achilles injury and is also named Daniel Jones.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Taylor's late-season collapse and QB injury vulnerability make him a fade at 1.03.

Jonathan Taylor led all players in advance rate to the playoffs at 66.8%, giving drafters a two-in-three chance of making the playoffs, but that wasn't the whole story. Taylor was RB4 in PPG overall but from Week 12 onwards was the RB21, with an explosive run rate of 0.7% (41st) and ranking 36th in yards after contact while scoring only three rushing touchdowns. Much of this inefficiency came with QB turmoil as Daniel Jones got beaten up and eventually tore his achilles. The source questions if Taylor deserves to be drafted with the third overall pick when his quarterback is coming off an achilles injury and is also named Daniel Jones.
