I think it's less about the success of a few players and more about the league wide use of cover 3 with smaller Lbs. 

Well, I think its clear that its both since the TE's KB mentions are the large, mobile, athletic TE's that are perfect to take advantage of that mismatch.

this is an offensive option i can get fully behind for the 8th pick

Wouldn't be mad if Howard was the pick at all. Olsen is still at the top of his game but is getting older. Our offense depends heavily on a versitile and dominant TE and Howard is the best and most complete prospect to come along in years.

I don't know if @sanjay_rajput brainwashed me or what, but I'm all aboard the Howard train. I'd love to have him on the team

Yeah, I am sure we are taking Howard and then trading back into round 1.  Not sure how that got in my brain but it is there now.

OJ will be the pick. LF and safeties and Thomas will be gone.  OJ is pick at #8 take it to the bank.

Yeah pretty sure the Jags are taking Fornette at 4 and that sucks unless we get McCaffrey.

Anyone remember where Olsen was drafted?

And we want to take this guy at 8?

I am just a bit disappointed that there are not more big time talents at the top of this years draft.

There is Garrett, and then there is a mile and a half distance down to the next tier of guys

Ah, Garrett...he's the guy that was blocked 1-on-1 by Howard.

Still think there is a mile and a half distance to those below him?

[The Lone Panther]

We're taking Fournette if he's there at #8.  If not, then I believe the pick will be Thomas.  Howard is plan C.

Adams is still ahead of Howard.

I don't think we have a chance to get Adams. He's a top five pick.

NFLN's Path to the Draft just did a piece on Howard.  Im starting 5o think he will be the pick.  He said he models himself after Greg Olsen, loves Greg's playmaking ability in the passing game and his ability as a run blocker.  Also said he embraces being a leader - likes doing the right thing when no one is looking.  Sounds like he loves the game...  ANNNNND, then they cut back to the studio and said funny enough that he mentioned Olsen, bc the team he has been most linked with on Twitter is the Panthers.

They also brought on their stats person (Cynthia Frelund?), who compared Howard with the TE from Miami that we've been linked to, and said Howard is the better prospect because his drop percentage was around 3, which is considered elite, whereas the other guy whose name I wont attempt to spell was in the teens, IIRC, which she said was average.

The Miami TE did have a lot more potential as a YAC guy, but again, his consistency in receiving was average with a higher drop percentage.
