Iirc Howard was a panic pick right after the Eagles traded up for Dillard?

While I'm not ready to write off Howard's career as a failure yet, this is a prime, prime, prime, prime, prime example of why fans that push for "you should draft at a position of need" should be careful what they wish for.
He played a position of extreme need for Houston, and nobody blamed them for drafting an Olineman (especially a Tackle). Problem is... he's not good. And when you draft for a position of need, and the player isn't any good, its the ultimate failure. They spent a first round pick on a player who is a liability, and they don't have anybody on their roster better.
Its one thing to whiff on Matt Elam, when you can find somebody like Ihedigbo to step up. Its another when the player you whiff on is still the best option you have.
I challenge fans on this every year in the draft. They say "we don't need X, take a receiver" or whatever position it is. My question is... when that player doesn't pan out, what's your next step? Do the same thing again?
The worst draft strategy known to man is to go into the draft, especially in the first round, and say "I'm taking X position no matter what".

to be fair i dont think most fans are cool with taking a position no matter what, 2015 we needed a receiver more than anything, by far, but there wasnt a single poster on these boards who were happy with the perriman picks and despite wr being by far the biggest need, im pretty sure everyone here preferred byron jones or malcom brown, one panned out the other didnt, but we damn sure didnt want perriman.
Maybe he thought watson threw the ball?
i wanted us to do whatever we could to get marcus peters - funny how things turn out in the end lol

Yeah I was high on peters but I was worried about his character. If he was available then take him but I didn’t wanna trade for him. When we were on the clock I wanted: malcom brown>Byron Jones>trade.
and yeah, it seems like the ravens have a way with getting their guys eventually. Peters, Campbell, Earl Thomas, Wolfe, and even boldin, pretty sure the ravens always had their eyes on these guys
