OJ Howard is a Huge Cam fan

Only reason I wouldn't like Howard is because of value and how he doesn't seem to have that high of a ceiling in comparison to other TEs we could grab.

Nevertheless, most complete TE from this class, so I guess it's justifiable. He's pretty basic from a skills standpoint, but I'm more or less accepting the fact that if Fournette, Thomas, and Adams don't fall, he's probably (sadly) our next option.

There's nothing special about Greg Olsen either but somehow he's always open and catches everything

Really it's just me being scared OJ Howard doesn't live up to the hype. He has nothing to show on tape he'll be dominating in the league.

I hope I'm proven wrong if he's the pick.

Think of Alabama as Voltron.  OJ Howard was the Blazing Sword and they kept using those other useless weapons the entire time, when they could have just brought out the blazing sword and gone home.

Yep, so question is why didn't they use that blazing sword?

Is it an OJ Howard problem they tried to hide, or was it Bama themselves that is to blame? Most seem to want to say Bama, but I'm skeptical.

He is coming to the perfect system and the perfect veteran to develop under.

Bing bang botta boom!

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
