Thanks Brad, that is the thing, getting Howard pushes Zampese to use those sets more often. Very frustrating last
year watching him get too cute by not using the TE's more. Fisher was all over the place. It would of helped the O
as a whole much more by using TE's where they should be used. Let alone Fisher himself who is an O-lineman.

The Giants shown that drafting DE's is one of the ways to win a SB in this passing league and our guys besides
Dunlap have been bad lately. We need a gamechanger opposite Dunlap to solidify the DL, MJ is not it, Clarke could
be but we don't know that yet. We need some new Ends for Burney to work with, it was only his first year afterall,
he could get better and seemed like he did later last season with his guys.

Jordan Willis is athletic and can rush the passer and stop the run better than about any DE in this draft. He should
only fall cause he was at Kansas State. He is already a bit polished and can be a 3 down End unlike Barnett right
off the bat.

Thanks again.

I haven't seen many mocks that have us taking Howard, which frustrates me, but I've been surprised by our drafts in the past few years and none have really looked like any of the "expert's" mocks, so maybe there's hope.

This page on CincyJungle has 45 or 50 mock drafts with only one having us draft Howard in the first.

I've been watching tape on Willis and dude does look like a FREAK.  He needs to stay a bit lower, but that can be taught and he still killed the offenses he faced while being that high.  He'll obviously need to fix that as he faces better linemen in the NFL but, like I said, that can be taught.
