predicting about 6 DE to go in the first which could help us get some of the players we want in the second and third...it also could hurt us in getting rid of howard though.

Or, it could help..If no other DE\'s are left for teams to warrant a 1st round pick, it would greatly benefit Howard\'s value...

Even if teams consider drafting for the best available talent, it would still be hard to pass up Howard if you had no other DE to solidify your line...

I just hope we can get him dealt before the draft...
