I think we have to scratch Eifert off as a loss. Dude's rarely been healthy. Now this. We don't know when or if he'll ever be able to play again.
It sucks, because it wasn't a position of need until now. I know there are TEs we could take in the 3rd or 4th Rounds, but they won't be as good as Howard. There are a few players I'd still consider ahead of him. It depends on who else is there – J. Allen, M. Hooker, J. Adams. H. Reddick even. At this point though, I'd have to say Howard could be at the top of our big board.
I am still okay with us looking TE in the 3rd or 4th, but I am not against Howard if he is there in the 1st. There are some really good TE's in this draft.
