William Howard looks like a good pick. So far this draft is going according to everything I had read. The ESPN'ers thought Howard was a good pick, brings size, tenacity and quickness--looks like a little bit bigger Hovan. Might play End. Hovan and Howard in the middle, might allow or LB's a little more freedom and take some of the prssure off (Randle was useless vs the run when playing tackle...0, while also making our DE's a bit more effective. Alot to hope for, but I'd love to see William Peterson (Western Ill, CB) still out there...

I hear that Howard has already been moved to End. I think he is going to be a lot like a Stalin Colinet, strong against the run, and able to collapse the pocket, but he won't get many sacks. I was pissed when they took him, but after calming down, I think he will do alright. I mean he is from the Pac 10 so he can't be all that bad, right?
