11 is much too high for Howard. At 11, you hope to find a special player in the front seven on defense.

I think OJ Howard could be the BPA when we pick in the first round. What would you think about drafting him there? I'm not quite sure how I would feel about it. 2nd round would be a no brainer, but he's not going to last that long.
If Garrett, Allen, Foster, Barnett, Thomas, Hooker, Adams, Fournette, and Cook all go top 10, I think BPA would be Howard or a CB. Would you rather have one of the top CBs or OJ Howard at 11?
Injury?I remember last off-season, there was alot of hype surrounding Jake Butt. I didn't watch many Michigan games, so can anyone tell me why his stock has dropped so much?
I like OJ Howard alot as a prospect, but I think this board will melt if we take a TE with our first. I wouldn't mind taking one in the mid rounds. Someone like Gerald Everett would be a nice addition.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Michigan senior TE Jake Butt will require surgery to repair a torn ACL.
Brutal blow for Butt, who suffered the severe knee injury on a reception in the first half of Friday's Orange Bowl loss to Florida State. With the 6-foot-6, 237-pounder requiring surgery, he will be largely unable to take part in the draft process moving forward, at least outside of medical checks.
Said medical checks are going to be critical for him as NFL teams determine whether or not they are willing to take the risk.
I accept your odds and bet a $1.00 that the Saints will pick him at 11. So we have a bet, right?
I realize our severe need for defense, and given this scenario, your first option would be to trade back for somebody who wants a QB. Mitch Trubisky and Deshaun Watson would be on the board. If you could get into the 20's, then OJ Howard becomes viable. Second option is to draft one of the top corners. If we don't love any of them and can't trade back, option 3 is to draft one of the QBs. Like I said, I know we don't need them. But if a nightmare scenario happens where all the good defensive prospects are off the board in the top 10 and the #1 QB in the draft is still there, you take him if that's all that's left. And I say that as someone who would be furious if we drafted a QB in round 1.
Watching the Senior Bowl there seems to be alot of Jordan Reed type tighends available and I think the Saints will look for one of those H-Back type of TE that can motion and play fullbacK.
