If I was Sean Payton, I'd draft OJ Howard if the Saints have the chance. The guy seems like Jimmy Graham 2.0. 6'6 and freakishly athletic for a TE. Seems like he would fit well.
Thoughts?

Oh boy soft as pussy Jimmy and if you thought I couldn't stand that other guy man Jimmy was ×10. I hate his type.




Now Oj Howard is a stud, has good potential in the pass game and is already a solid blocker out of a run heavy offense. As much as I hate Jimmy you gotta pump your brakes there, not enough bias in me to not say that Graham wasn't a beast in 2011.


Oj Howard can be the next Oj Howard and pretty good also, the G men should pair him next to real #1 WR super star football player ODELL Beckham. If we could get him in the 3rd or 4th I'd go for it, but he will blow up at the combine and somehow sneak into the 2nd imo. I think he is a "safe" pick there if he isn't the stud you tought he'd be he will be a great blocker and at least decent in the receiving game. Think Benjamin Watson throughout his career, Ben has/had HOF talent. HOF career never materialized.



This game will have him unfairly being called the next Jimmy Graham which isn't fair to he or Jimmy. I don't see another Jimmy ( Before injuries and brutal hits made him soft) any time soon.

He is athletic. The Clemson Def left him wide open on 2 plays, and have not defended against the TE well at all during this game. I would not draft him based on this one game. The Saints have so many other needs. Ben Watson should be good for one more year, then they can try to get a TE unless one really good slips in this draft.
He will probably be drafted sooner than he should. Hopefully, SP does not try to reach for him and trade up to get him. SP needs to let the players fall to him and not reach for players. Reaching has not worked out too well.

I'd rather have Cardale Jones than OJ Howard.

Howard's lack of production throughout his career is a huge red flag. If you draft him in the 2nd round you are truly buying high on him as well because of the NC bump.

I agree that he has legit upside and Alabama underutilized him to some degree but I don't think i'd want to use anything higher than a 3rd round pick on him.
