Right. We don't know about any of these picks. Have to give it time.At least wait until we have played our 1st four games so you can say you know what you are talking about. - LOL

I didn't say Chubb was a disrupter per sae, I said Phillips was. Chubb is a quintessential DE in the fact that he demands double teams and can pressure. There is a need from one side or the other for both of those types. Your bruiser and your finesse. I love both our DEs and hope they come back in full form. That said, you can't assure that and you definitely can't bet on it, nor should we. But you absolutely do not place a 1st on it. We.have talent in buckets at DE, is it a gamble, perhaps, but we have so many other positions that aren't even gambles, they are holes.
You can find backup prospect EDGE in later rounds as well. You can't find starting OL and WR or CB in later rounds. Perspective. Is Chop starting? Okay then why has he been labeled as a prospect. Is he not starting? Then why did we draft him in the first when we have Chubb and Phillips and so many other needs?If you didn't know who Chop was before the draft, I have no pitty for you. And shame on you for looking at mock drafts and falling in love with a Center prospect at 21, instead of researching who would be good for this team.
He was a top prospect. You can find Oline and WRs in the later rounds. His pass rushing skills are only found in round 1. Chop was the last good pass rusher and his speed and bust are on an elite level. It was a great pick.
I'm sure the same group will bitch and moan tomorrow bc we didn't take the guy the media said we were gonna take.

You have more faith than me that JP or Chubb will be back at full speed anytime soon. I hope but this is a smart ass pick. Wanted Verse but Wood Chopper sounds good to me.You can find backup prospect EDGE in later rounds as well. You can't find starting OL and WR or CB in later rounds. Perspective. Is Chop starting?

Outside of BPA it doesn't make sense.
Fair. Since it's the off-season I will try to come up with some proof of my double team claim, saw it quite a bit. Perhaps beginning of season not, but towards the end he was a force. Stunts, absolutely, and he was very good at them.I love Jalaen Phillips but the Achilles is a serious injury for a guy like that who relies on his burst. It’s naive to think he’ll be the same guy in 2024. I don’t share your opinion of Chubb in the least bit though. He definitely doesn’t command double teams. Most of the plays he made this year were against really bad players or on plays that came from someone else’s initial pressure. He relies on stunts to get to the QB. Even Van Ginkel was better off the edge than Chubb, when it came to beating OTs.
Shaq Barrett is short term insurance.
This is the second most important position in football and the biggest weakness of our team down the stretch last year.
This kid can rush the passer from inside or outside. He’ll be relied upon heavily right away.
There is an argument he was the BPA in the Miami draft room.You can find backup prospect EDGE in later rounds as well. You can't find starting OL and WR or CB in later rounds. Perspective.

I do admittedly. I've been following their progress, Phillips specifically. Think this dude is coming back hungry. Chubb, I can only hope, there's no other reason.You have more faith than me that JP or Chubb will be back at full speed anytime soon. I hope but this is a smart ass pick. Wanted Verse but Wood Chopper sounds good to me.

To bring this back to context though, as a starter, I mean if we are to be honest here, as he was drafted, with the injuries, Chop is on the job ready for this? I'm concerned he can't learn behind Chubb fwiw. I'm concerned he's relying on speed in the NFL where tackles will put him in the ground.
