If we take Howard, then the 2 TE sets will last a year before we let Eifert walk in free agency, despite rolling over money for his extension. So taking Howard will basically fill a new hole that we create.
I don't think you can really say that Eifert is the better receiver because Howard was underutilized at Bama, so we didn't get to see his full potential.
