i mainly want the position right now. i just don't want to come away without an elite type pass rusher when we suffered through the nonsense of this season.

I've read he's a more athletic Derek Barnett, who I was very high on last year. I don't really see that so much. I agree he's the better athlete but to me Barnett was stronger, a lineman that could transition to OLB but was probably a better fit in an even front rushing with his hand down. Chubb seems like the better transition prospect.

I like that he is athletic enough to not worry about, that he tries hard, that he produced consistently, and that he wants to be great. He's not a Garrett or Clown eye, those guys don't come along often. But I like him well enough that I'll trust it's a good pick if Ballard likes him.

I encourage you all to look at Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Yeah, he’s not pass rush. But he I believe does have that super Uber talent you look for in the top 5. He wouldn’t improve our biggest weakness on defense but he would improve the defense.
