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)

Didn't Shula ask for a second tight end? Maybe he will pull out his special crayons and do special things.

With the 8th pick we will probably be in position to snag the best WR, TE, OT in the draft (I assume Fournette and Adams will be gone). They have to decide how much better Howard is from his counterparks. Same question for Mike Williams and Cam Robinson. I like Howard because I believe he will be a monumental upgrade from Ed Dickson and will complement Olsen.  Howard is a great run blocker and has tremendous upside as a receiver. If the Panthers think he can be a Jimmy Graham/Gronk then they should take him

theres 0 % chance we take onward at 8. Just like there is 0% chance we take garret. Just bc u like a player doesn't mean you are drafting them with the current picks. Now this could hint at trading down (or up i guess), but neither are really an option at 8

I got burned once saying there was zero percent chance Star fell to 13. 

 

Now I just laugh when people throw out guarantees like this.

      Chuba Hubbard is expected to miss Week 5

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think Chuba is better in pass pro. I think Chuba does a better job setting up blockers, while Dowdle tends to just want to juke or outrun defenders. He has more big play potential, but probably won't get you the consistent numbers. He'll get you in more 3rd and long situations. Now I'm actually excited to see Etienne get more burn. That kid has big play ability written all over him. And he is NOT a punt returner.

      Luke Kuechly HC (Not Joking Faks)

      By strato · Posted

      Maybe had you put it that way instead of dismissing the guy as a ‘radio’ I wouldn’t have pushed back. I get that. At the same time, he knows the team, he is brilliant at film diagnosis, highly disciplined and would have the instant respect of any and all players in that locker room. Coaches too probably. It is hard to overstate how good he was and that includes the mental side.  I wouldn’t bet against him. Give him a couple of seasons to get the job down.  I shouldn’t say every, but I bet it is every… OC or DC that got a HC gig has said they weren’t ready for everything that goes with being a HC. Totally different than the job they had been doing, because now they have to deal with everything and they didn’t even know what that was when they started.  edit: I guess a point I am trying to make with him is, you can work your way up through jobs but when you get promoted the job is not just a higher level of the job you were doing, it is a different job requiring new skills.  The failed HC ranks are full of great coordinators for that very reason.  I resist the dogma of you can’t be good at that unless you were good at LB coach or DC.  To me, Wilks wasn’t a real good DC but he somehow understood that HC job intuitively.
