I never said he was great....and he hasn't been great, but he is better than any of our current TEs. he is better than Jarwin and is a better blocker than jarwin. so having Howards, will only improve the position. I didn't say give up a 1st, 2nd or 3rd or even a 4th...I said a low round pick, 5th at most...at most.....reluctantly, 6th more likable.....what are you going to get with a 5th or 6th round pick? or a player that's 4th or 5th in our depth chart...for a guy that will be 2nd in our depth chart...I am not sold on Jarwin….everyone loves him because of his play against the Giants....outside of Giants he has been very meh.....he is not a good blocker at all and he benefited from playing against back up LBs and safeties...as a starter, he won't have that benefit......
so its not that hard to see how we would improve adding howard..
and btw, gronk signing has to do more with Brady...and gronk is gronk. if healthy, he is very elite.....
sorry, you are close minded on this.....
Actually that NOT what you said and I'll quote you "so is he available. can we go after him. what will it take. having Howard who doesn't have great stats, but good and can be a decent blocker and decent receiver with some speed added to the TEs would only make that position into a strength and de-risk Jarwin being the primary and right now the only viable TE on the roster.."
You didn't say a word about a 5th or 6th round pick. Now admittedly you didn't say any draft pick but giving up ANY draft pick for a TE that who's strength is blocking, who got a few more yards receiving as a starter than Jarwin who wasn't a starter, who is not going to push Jarwin out as the starter. You may not like Jarwin but I haven't heard or read a word that the Cowboys don't like Jarwin considering they just signed him to a new 4 year deal. Then your idiotic statement that when Jarwin was in he was covered by backups. Ya the defensive coordinators as soon as Jarwin came in yelled, backups get in there Jarwin just came in. Howard lost his starting job to a TE who was really good but is coming out of retirement and Howard wasn't that good to start out with so wasting anything to trade for is wasting whatever that is.
