OJ Howard: The Beast from Bama

[DaveThePanther2008]

I don't see us getting Fournette after the happens of today.  Culter is being reported to NYJ so they won't be drafting a QB, J'ville signed a DB so RB will probably be their first pick.

I'lll take Howard to team with Olsen.

Likely adams falls at this point

Would love that to be honest.  I think he is top 5 pick, though.

Bears, Titans, SD, and Jax have FAs who are insta SS starters.

You don't have to convince me.   While I would love Howard, I would be ecstatic about Adams.

[JayNasty]

Love the effort and the way he seals his block.  He'll make some team happy

good vid by him as always, bt don't want howard. Absolute waste of the 8th. Got to go LF, S or DE at 8. Wouldn't take howard until the late first, also that engram kid seems really good too and could be had in the 2nd.

 

To clarify i want a 2 TE system but certainly don't draft one in the first. Hell give me leggett or butt in the 3rd or 4th

His grade is same as Jamal Adams, the talent level warrants a top 10 pick.

With Ginn gone we need another viable Recieving option, Howard would be 3x better with his ability to run the full route tree, has  speed and hands to become immdediate starter. Furthermore his ability to in-line block &  from H formation allows him to be on the field for 99% of the offensive snaps.

Don't get me wrong I think howard is great, I would just personally rather have LF, barnett, thomas, adams, hooker, and maybe taco but i haven't scouted him much. I think these players would add more marginal value compared to a player at there position taken in the middle rounds than howard would. 

I get the argument for him, just disagree. We won't really know who wouldve helped the team more until years in the future, if at all.

We have to get his guy somehow, If Fourntte drops to 8 I would take him then move up again to Cleveland 12 and grab him.\

Evan Silva (rotoworld) said Howard is among the best blocking TEs he has seen coming out of college and said he would be a plus NFL blocker from day 1.  He is extremely athletic and catches the ball well despite having been criminally underused at Alabama.

Silva thinks he is going top 10.  He is certainly in play for the Panthers at 8.  Given some emerging question marks about guys that were previously thought to be top 10 locks (J Allen, D Cook, QBs), the Panthers may have to lower their sights a bit.

As long as we make 2TEs the base offense, drafting Howard makes a ton of sense.

Remember how Potent we were with Shockey and Olsen? It's be like that.

I'm on the OJ Howard bandwagon. The guy in the video likens him to Gronk. I'd use the #8 pick on the biggest mismatch in the NFL.

You know what @sanjay_rajput you might be on to something about Howard

[Daddy_Uncle]

Watching Olsen at the combine, I'm pretty sure he would be thrilled to add in Howard that he can mentor. Olsen knew that offense had tons of success with the two TE sets. It would take some pressure off of Olsen. 

3rd down KB, Funchess, Olsen, and Howard, and a quick guy that can get in between all the bigs and go while they block. 

 

Howard has been my second favorite prospect behind Fournette and would love to be able to grab him for Cam.
