He reminds me a lot of Eifert in a lot of ways, except he's healthy. Last I saw he's ranked 9th overall best Tight End in the draft, but I just have a feeling, a strong feeling, he is going to surpass most of them when he hits the field. He's project to go in the 4th or 5th, which is like I said, a steal. He has nothing but upside.

I am definately for drafting him if we don't get Howard at 9. Him or Michael Roberts are my guys in the mid rounds.
So deep at TE i can definately understand why people don't want one at 9. Just with Eifert's injuries Howard could make
the most immediate impact for a rookie besides maybe Fournette. Maybe if Solomon Thomas or Johnathan Allen fall to us
they could also do alot as rookies.
Barnett might, but he still has to work on stopping the run and bulking up from 259 might slow him down and his pass
rush. Lots of ways to go early for us.
