Who doesn't like Myles Garrett? But glad to get that snippet of info on the other two.

It is smokescreen season also, so there's that.

I found it interesting cause it sounds like he'd be fine with taking OJ Howard at 8 if he really does like him like he says

Tyler Eifert in '13 and Hunter Henry last year.... the OJ Howard love is that wildcard that will linger in the air until draft night. There's definitely better value vs. need that could be available at #8, but man, Howard is knocking on the door of the top-10 and I think by the end of the combine/pro-day period, he will be sitting there prime for the plucking. 

Not saying it's the most likely, but wouldn't be surprised if he is the selection at 8.  If they can address LT, DE and SS in FA, then Howard at 8 becomes more of a desirable choice. If Fournette goes to the 49ers, Jags or Jets, watch out.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000778887/article/ask-5-whats-best-nfl-comp-for-alabama-te-oj-howard

Posted yesterday by DJ.  A taller version of Shannon Sharpe?? Comps to Jimmy Graham and Greg Olsen??

Watching some draftbreakdown vids of him, his blocking jumps out at me immediately. He's big, super athletic and has great hands, but man, his contributions to the OL and downfield blocking is something we could certainly use. A duo of Olsen-Howard would make me very very happy.  Shula has been lobbying for TE help, and maybe his little voice gets heard more this year.

I'm 100000% ok with taking OJ Howard if Adams Hooker and Fournette are gone. I know some see it as overkill but I believe another athletic pass catching tight end on the field with Greg Olsen would do wonders for our offense (provided Shula doesn't F it up)

If you can grab any of the top prospects at their position in the draft it's not a bad move , unless you have a young franchise QB like we do I suppose it wouldn't make sense for us to draft Trubinsky, Watson, or Kizer. 

If his skills translate to the NFL that will make us much more dangerous and also will let Greg rest alot more and stay healthy as he gets older .

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Richard Sherman got dog piled for basically saying he didn't stand out as a WR prospect but looked elite as a CB prospect. A few months ago you could find other players commenting on his limited route tree and raw route running but the search algorithms are flooded with love affair right now. The guy is the best CB prospect in years and he'll contribute on offense too. That is the absolute opposite of a knock on the guy. It's just the people buying into him being a full time two way player in the NFL like he was at Colorado who gets their panties in a wad over just stating the simple reality that he ain't gonna be a full time two way player at the NFL level with 17 games seasons and no Travis Hunter fan should want that either if you want the guy to make it to a second contract.

      You do know you have to be invited to College GameDay? They called him out there and asked him about it and he answered it. And do you think he would have this type of interactions with a coach he doesn't have that type of relationship with? You're reaching to the furthest extent lol. I've seen a video of Hunter literally getting cursed out by Shedeur by not catching a BAD pass from Sanders and he didn't say anything just went out and caught a TD pass the next play! A "diva" would've got into a shouting match with his QB

      WHAT?!?!?!?! Honestly for the life of me, I can't figure out what you're saying here.  How are you saying their supporting casts cancel each other out and Hunter STILL had the better season? The supporting cast is LITERALLY the reason that he had the better season statistically.  If you put T-Mac on Colorado in place of Hunter, I'm 100% convinced he'd have had better stats than Hunter did, as he already had almost the same number of catches, and more yards, with a significantly worse QB and with zero other offensive weapons to take any attention away from him like Hunter had. If you think Hunter having 7 more TDs is more because of Hunter vs T-Mac and not because Hunter's QB had literally DOUBLE the number of TD's this year than T-Mac's QB, then I have some Arizona oceanfront property to sell you.
