Engram is also probably the most polished route runner and hands of the three.. so I would love to have him at that pick... you are probably right njoku will be gone but i just see defense as a bigger need...  this is alway why i say trade back.. we can get defense, tight end, offense line with 3 picks in 1/2 rounds and fill some holes

Well the premise behind taking Howard at 1 is more of a replacement for eifert.  If eifert was healthy and we could/would sign him to another deal then all this talk of drafting a te early is mostly moot.  Then we're talking about adding someone in 4-6 to compete with Kraft or uzomah.  

If Thomas or Allen are there at 9 that's probably who I would lean towards.  I think Hobson is laying the groundwork for us potentially taking Howard over Barnett though.
