Yeah that makes sense. We're probably going offense in the 1st, and we need a guy who can replace Greg when his time comes. Wouldn't be shocked if it's Howard.

I don't think they'd be drafting Howard to replace Olsen. Olsen has a lot of years left in the tank. Howard allows us to run a 2 TE set as our base offense, which means he could contribute as both a blocker and a pass-catcher.

Yeah we're going to use him right away, but eventually he would replace Olsen.

He has the ability to potentially fill several needs at once and long term. I think gentleman sees the value in that type of player and would take that into consideration. This draft is fairly weak at Oline, so he may be as much help as any guy we could get in the draft to help in that regard.

Exactly. Our biggest needs are WR and OT, but since there aren't any players in those positions worth taking at #8, Howard is someone who could help out both roles.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
