Here's a great write-up on essentially all of the prospects, 1 of whom we will draft, that Josh Norris just posted on his Twitter. Gave some good perspective on every single one of the players I'm curious about. Just a little food for thought on how good your wanted selection at #8 actually is based on true NFL scout analysis.

O.J. HOWARD, TE, Alabama: 6-6, 251. Most complete tight end in the draft. “Nothing wrong with him at all,” said one scout. “Big-time basketball player in high school. Just a country boy. Big, fast, athletic. Receiving tight end or every down.” Played extensively for four seasons. “There’s no dominant in-line guys anymore but he’s probably as good as you’re going to get coming out,” a second scout said. “As a receiver he’s still a little untapped. Only two years did he play with a pro-style quarterback. He’s a phenomenal human being. His upside is through the roof.” Ran a speedy 4.51 in the 40-yard dash Saturday at the combine.

I read this last week, and was focusing on the "Next Level" section wondering who would be there at 40, I just re-read the "Probably Gone" section since there are so many people thinking that we may be trying to trade into the back end of round 1 by bundling our 2 second round picks. There is a lot of talent available in both situations! Who knows what Dave has planned, but I'm excites as Hell.  Draft day is going to be like Christmas!

Nice, short synopsis of each player. Bob McGinn never disappoints. This just further cements my belief that if Fournette is there, then he's the guy. If he's not, maybe Adams. If Adams isn't there, then...

It's going to be BPA. If that's Howard, then Howard it will be!

Simple, we're not drafting a guy to be a #2 TE in our system 8th overall. 

We drafted both a backup DT and a situational LB in the first. 

I'm not saying we should draft a TE that early but you never know with DG.

Ideally, you'd want a bigger guy than Garrett playing DE #1 in the Carolina Panthers system

Taco is 2" taller and 5 pounds heavier but has shorter arms. No clue why you have such a raging man crush on the guy, but no sane person would even entertain the thought of Taco over Garrett.

You nimrods are both wrong read the fugin wrting on the wall we just traded Ealy, we're drafting a DE at 8 and the only DE in this draft that is a perfect fit for us is Charlton

There is maybe 2 DE worth in the first round for Panthers 4-3 scheme thats Garrett & Solomon

Otherwise there is better value in the mid rounds.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
