Missing starters

They should have drafted OJ Howard at 9 in 2017 to prepare for Eifert's departure, and Howard could really have been a difference maker in both 2017 and 2018 when Eifert went down to injuries. Since that didn't happen, they have opportunity now to fill that void in the draft or outside FA (ideally with a pass catching TE if they plan on having a QB like Dalton). If Eifert is re-signed, he should not be counted on as the main contributor at that spot.

I wanted OJ Howard myself... Honestly I wanted Allen when fell, but anyway... Howard missed more than a few games this year though too. Maybe that doesn't happen here, but we'll never know.
