Yes please.   If not Fournette, I'd be happy.   Thanks for the video.   I think it shows something in him when he decided to not move to the big district.   He chose to take on a challenge and take a weight on his shoulders at that small school.

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.

I personally think McCaffrey is above Howard on their board (but agree their top 4 are probably Garrett, Thomas, Fournette, and Adams).  

I'm not even sure they like Howard more than Njoku.

The Panthers are usually pretty transparent about their interest in prospects.  Haven't done nearly as much with Howard as they have other top prospects.

With some of the consensus top 5 guys - Adams, Thomas - I don't think you can read much into a lack of activity with the Panthers (we didn't show a ton of interest in Star) because they are just not wasting limited resources on guys they do not expect to be available at pick #8.

But Howard is very much in play to be on the board at #8.  Either they have zero questions about him as a prospect or they might not be all that interested.

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.

When You say,  He has nothing to show on "tape" do You mean you didn't see anything good on youtube?

What? He probably has the highest ceiling of ANY tight end. Most everywhere you read or go will tell you that. That's one of the reasons why he is the #1 rated TE... He has the best measurables.

      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.
