Big upright runner with no wiggle and suspect hands.....the ankle injuries are a bonus. I'm ok with 6'1+ running upright. |

Have not seen much sentiment for a guy like OJ Howard at 6. Whenever anyone mentions a TE, it is always with the idea of trade back and take a TE. Ideally I would love to see Macc trade back, but if he can't, why not take a guy like OJ Howard at 6. We could use another big target for whomever our QB might be and at 6'6", 250, and running a 4.5 40, he would be a matchup nightmare for any defense. A receiving group including Howard, Enunwa, Decker and Anderson would look pretty good next season. No significant injury history, no off field problems that I am aware of. OJ Howard at 6.  I'm not crazy about Howard at 6.... I know, right? Why? Better use of the pick. Fournette/Williams/Davis/Cook are all better options. Howard is a supreme target, but he's not that much better than the other guys. A bump for blocking, but i'm drafting a TE at 6 because he's a better blocker than Engram. I spent time watching Howard--Njoku--Everett--Engram, and even Sprinkle--Hodges etc... The margin of difference isn't that significant. Some of them test better, but the tape shows all of them making plays and looking pros. The difference between Fournette--Cook and guys like Kamara, Foreman, is HUGE. Atlantic ocean size. Same with Williams--Davis vs Duvall, or even Ross... in fact, the gap is pacific. Fournette Williams Davis Cook Howard I don't think we get far down the list @6. What about Joe Mixon? |

I'm a big fan of Mixon (as a player). I'd be perfectly happy picking him with our 3rd rounder. |
