Agree with you on the Howard point, but it almost seems incorrect to rank him against Njoku and Engram. Howard is much more like Olsen who's job is to both pass protect and catch - these are known as Y tight ends. 

Engram and Njoku are F tight ends who are less relied upon to block and more relied upon to catch. 

Going with the theme that we seem to be "all in" this year, and JR really wants to win the big one. It actually makes more sense to pair Olsen with a F tight end (Engram or Njoku) than with Howard. That isn't to say Howard couldn't compliment Olsen, but he's more of a replacement. 

Further, adding to this theory is the point you mention: the depth at the position. There isn't another Fournette or even McCaffrey in the draft, this is however a deep draft at tight end.

I do want to once and for all point out that I believe it is a mistake if we aren't considering Malik Hooker. 

The guy is the prototype modern day FS and could drastically effect our defense for the next 10 years. If you want evidence of this see how poor Seattle's defense was after Earl Thomas got hurt this past year. 

My only concern for him is health. Yea he kinda sucks at tackling, but even Earl Thomas misses tackles. You can teach the kid proper form and hope he improves to passable in that category.

His instincts, speed, range and ball skills are second to none.

@Jeremy Igo  do you turn notifications off after one of these posts?

The retarded comments and attacks have got to be a pain, especially if you actually want to engage an honest question.

 

anyways, that's the order I pretty much am relying on even though I fully expect to be surprised come Thursday.

best case staying at 8 we land thomas, "worst case" which is not really worst case, is lattimore/conley.

then we move up for njoku.

i wouldn't be mad.

Fournette has a realistic chance of being there.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
