I do think we'll draft a TE and Howard could be the guy, I just don't want one at 9. I think we could probably get a nice solid TE in the mid rounds.
I like all 3 offensive lineman you have us drafting. Elflein would come in as a starter and Asiata and Davenport could potentially work their way to be starters.
I'm not too keen on drafting 2 WR and 2 RB's as I think we have our WR core set and might only need to draft 1. RB on the other hand, we might draft 2, but having both Hill and Gio(even though he's coming back from injury), plus Tre Mason on the PS makes me think we only go 1 rb.
Overall not too bad, not my ideal draft, but solid none the less!
Howard just wasn't used as much of a pass catching TE at Bama. Doesn't mean he couldn't be a great pass
catcher though with his hands, size and speed. He is an Eifert type talent but a better blocker. With Eifert's
injuries he won't be starting early next season. Howard is great insurance, adds another blocker to help our
young Tackles and is a red zone threat.
I had 2 WR's and 2 RB's for insurance as well. 1 out of those guys could be special.
Sometimes you have to overdraft a position in case one flops. We need speed at WR and versatility at RB.
Thanks for the thoughts Crowe. :andy:
