I like chubb. He's a good player. That knee injury from a few years ago is what scares me. I don't think people realized how bad it was and the fact he was able to come back is super impressive. I think he is a one contract guy. I hope he proves me wrong.
Modern medical care is amazing compared to even a few decades ago, players are rehabbing stronger than they were before their what used to be catastrophic injuries.
Other sports too, TJ surgery is now almost routine and expected and pitchers can come back better.

I don't get the people who are say we could have traded back 10 spots and still picked player x. Maybe, but did we land a good player? I think most of us agree that Chubb and Ward are great prospects so I dont consider then reaches. Thomas and Corbett on the other hand look like bad picks.
The real issue is could you have made better use of your #1 and #4 picks IF you knew for sure you were going for Mayfield and Ward. Two top 5 picks are rare and valuable and no team would ever jump ahead of you to grab those two players UNLESS you just could not take the chance.
A #1 pick in the draft alone is worth a LOT to a motivated team, just see trades throughout draft history.
Mayfield and Ward might be good picks, those two plus more R1 and top R2 is better. This will be debated for years now as the best/worst moves in the 2018 NFL Draft.....you can bet on that!

You think Ward would have made it past Tampa? I don't. You only have 2 teams to negotiate with if that's your guy. I don't think Indy was wanting to give up picks this draft and Denver was trying to move back until Chubb fell to them. It just had to be done this way if they wanted him to wear brown and orange. Imho.

remember to tell Duke to Hyde his Chubb

To those who think "reach" on Chubb, by the time our next pick came up the only back available near that first group of RBs was Freeman from Oregon. All the others including the fallen Guice were gone. We only traded up once in this draft, so would we have done so to get one of the best in an area of such high need? I don't know but based on Dorsey's history, I doubt it.
Just thank your lucky stars we got a really serious RB. He and Hyde have improved the RB room better than any other position on this team. That can only help our other majorly improved QB position. Between those two positions and some competition to push the WR's, we have helped this team start winning games on a more regular basis. I'm calling it now 5-8 wins. The off season and the draft are putting something on the field we can get behind for a change.

Hope that's not true... cause QB...

Maybe I should have used the words "immediately improved". QB will take some time with the new guy and the "transfers". Those RBs will be getting those 1st downs from day one.

RBs can both play on down 1 game 1. Mayfield will not likely do so. So we have 1 QB playing right away far better than those 3, but we have two new RBs far better than that unproductive group last year. Two guys who can consistently move the chains and help the QBs hit the short passes by keeping LBs honest. And they both have the vision to see the lateral holes that Crow was incapable of seeing. That combination will keep the defense off the field enough so they don't lose their edge in the latter part of the game. We have the line to play keepaway and now the backs running behind them to execute it. This season is gonna be fun to watch.

I knew what he meant - the rb's can be stars from game one.
It will take time for Mayfield to see the field - not sure he can beat out Taylor for a while.

Chubb will beat out Hyde quickly, just needs to make sure he is not a liability on 3rd down passing. Not saying he is, just hope he will be goos at it. With our stable of rbs and wrs now, where does that leave Duke? He played slot alot last year and now we have Landry. Going to be interesting.

The only thing that scares me now, about our RB's (& QB's) is our offensive tackles.
Setting that up for so many quality ones to choose from next year. Far, far better OT class in 2019 draft. Most of the OL we have now is good enough to be the kind of road graders you need to grind out the yardage with runs and short passes. Since "go deep gunslinger" Hue is no longer the OC, we have a chance to play the ball control game that sets up that occasional PA long pass downfield. And we have the perfect slot receiver and RB's to make it click. Will be fun to see it all at work.

the problem with chubb is he's not a fast twitch guy. He reminds me a little bit of eddie george, and no thats not a compliment.
I watched pretty much every carry chubb had these last two years being an sec fanatic. He was better in 2017 than 2016, but you can see that gruesome injury still took its toll.

Third down back. Clearly...and capably.

Well....it should be. George was a borderline Hall of Famer. If Chubb were to have the kind of career that Eddie George did it would mean he will have been the best RB this team has had since Leroy Kelly. Sure.....Chubb will be a power back.
Hopefully that means that we will no longer ever have to run a flea flicker on 3rd and 1 or 2 near the goal line.

So...being a part of the "RB by committee" set up....as he had similarly at Georgia will be a good thing then.

While true about pre and post injury, I also saw him in steady improvement to the point he is able again to make that jump cut and run through the holes again, something Crow could not do because he had no vision, like Chubb, to know there was even a hole to jump cut to and through.

well, figure it this way:
" XXX tries to create a big play too often, cutting to the outside when the better and smarter run is between the tackles. He doesn't stay with lead or pull blockers very well at all, and needs to show a higher degree of patience on many plays. His blocking leaves quite a bit to be desired, as he seems to display very little effort in that phase of his game. He's also had some lingering and recurring hand and arm injuries, which could lead to ball-handling problems if they keep up. "
that is Marshawn Lynch, first round, 12th overall pick.

Chubb had 18 receptions back in 2014 - he can catch.
In a great rb draft - Chubb will be a star, and it didn't take a first round pick to get him. I'm good with that.
