Howard played in a scheme in Alabama where they asked him to do a lot of work in the run game. Tough to tell what a new coach may value in terms of a TE who is more like an Engram (Big WR) or a guy like Kittle who can come in and block and catch. 

Very true. As you said, depends on the new regime. But whether it's the Bengals or not, Okwuegbunam could still be the top TE taken because he's believed to have elite potential like people were projecting Howard. And from what I read, Okwuegbunam seems like a pretty well-rounded TE and he just needs more usage in the passing game to become truly dominant.
