Hobson - OJ Howard and Myles Garrett 2 safest picks in draft

[BenZoo2]

It's unfortunate that we are contemplating the Howard pick at 9. I love a healthy eifert as our starting tight end. And he seems like a good teammate and a good person off the field.

But as we all know this is a business. We also know the axiom can't help the club in the tub. We have no idea the extent of his back injury. But a person of his height, weight, position etc that can't be a good situation. He is going to want as much money as he can get on his next contract. I don't blame him as it may be his last. I have no idea what his market will be. It's unfortunate for all involved.

But the bengals should be preparing themselves for life without eifert after this year. When else will they have this opportunity?
