I just feel with age of MJ, lack of production the last few years at DE and the young talent we seem to have at TE and still having Eifert now on the team, i think organization will prefer the edge rusher over TE.

Barnett is a fine pass rusher and would welcome the pick but the people speaking of Howard not being a very good
run blocker are idiots. No one is better in this entire draft according to PFF as Ocho here shows, i know it is PFF but
still, he is a very willing blocker, the best in this draft.
Might as well not take a TE at all if we are so worried about blocking. The deepest TE draft of all time and all of them
are terrible at blocking including the best of all of them, OJ Howard.
