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

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)

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.

Garrett? lol

 

 

Finding those diamonds in the rough.

If we get a quality TE to pair with Olsen in his prime I am going to be rock hard.

[ecu88]

Tanoh you know, I am all on board for.

[Daddy_Uncle]

he's definitely looking to address DE obviously. If we could trade down a few picks and get Howard that would be cool

Wow if only we could all be so witty and clever like Growl

[Riverboat Ron]

You'd have to be an idiot not to take Garrett at #1, that said, the Browns are on the clock.

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.

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 .
