Howard working out for Panthers


top dawg

Recommended Posts

After reading through all the articles about him over the past month I am convinced he is the safest pick in the draft. He gets comparisons to Olsen but honestly at this point Howard is likely further along at this point than when Olsen was drafted. If we pick him up we would have a better offense than we had with Olsen and Shockey. Howard talks about how important blocking was to him at Alabama and the emphasis Saban put on strength and blocking given given how much they run. I would actually move up for him before I would move up for Fournette.  Then again I was heavy on the Greg Olsen bandwagon when he was drafted. And don't think we should trade up for anyone from 8. Now 40 is another story.

Always enjoy your posts, so are you saying that for you OJ is the #1 offensive player in the draft?

    • The Bengals fuged up because they didnt flip Higgens for quality draft capital. You can never have too many good weapons. 
    • Sure I'd rather Kayden McDonald or the Oregon Safety but I wouldn't be too fazed if we took a WR in the first as long as they can play the position. And aren't just drafted because they're big and fast. Even if Bryce isnt the answer we want the best situation to drop the next bloke into 
    • I've said this a few times in the past few weeks, WR just cannot be on the board for us in the 1st round this year or we're just setting ourselves up for a problem in a couple of years. As it is, we're already looking at needing to do extensions for T-Mac and Coker (assuming they both progress as we all expect) in possibly the same offseason, or at worst, just one year apart.  Adding another 1st round WR to that mix who will be eligible for an extension in the same time frame is basically already announcing that at least one of the 3 of them will not be on the team in 4 years time. I realize you want to maximize your team's ability every season, but using a 1st round pick on a player you either know will be sent out 4 years from now and/or they will push out another young player you're really high on (Coker), just would be a poor use of current assets.   Just look at how much it screwed over the Bengals to have to pay Burrow, Chase, and Higgins all in such a short time frame, and at least one of them was a QB. The only way I'm okay drafting a WR in the 1st this year is if we're then flipping Coker for say, a 2nd round pick.  And I don't want to trade Coker, nor do I think anyone would give us that high of a pick for him right now either.
