NFL Mock Draft: Chad Reuter has Howard coming off the board in fifth round at 166 to Huston. LOL
I'd be shocked if he lasts that long.

Similar to Eli Apple in that regard, not quite as good of an athlete, but then again Howard doesn't mug receivers down the field like Apple does and he has much better awareness, eyes not locked on to the receivers like Apple does, Mackenzie Alexander style. Howard has better ball skills, too- better ball hawk. I'd rather have Howard in rd 2 than Apple in rd 1.
I like Eli Apple, but I don't think he'll be the best player available at #13. If he's the pick I wouldn't be disappointed as I love his upside and think Joseph could get a lot out of him.
That said, a scenario with a top pass rusher or even one of the dominant defensive tackles in the first and Howard in the second works for me.
jim1 my thinking matches right up with yours. I have a man crush for Nkemdiche in the first but lower than thirteen. I am thinking maybe Washington to move up for WR they might be targeting. It might be a pipe dream but if Nkemdiche and Sue....Well lets say those two could make up for all those years of watching Tom Brady make my life miserable. But in this division a killer defence is key. As for a guard I am still in search mode.
Josh Garnett: Seems to be a very thoughtful intelligent young man. Football wise he seems stout at point of attack, surprisingly good pulling, at 330 lb's. Outland winner, this guy won't be there in the third. I like him but how do you fit him in unless Miami trades down. Gets Nk. and first two lands Howard and he is still there with second two. Another pipe dream but Hey, a guy can dream right. But he does look solid on the highlight reel.
Good call on Howard.
I have no problem with the trade up. It's clear Vance was very specific About what he wants out of his cornerbacks. Maxwell and Howard are like twins.
And if that's the kind of player you want you have to go get it.
