He comes from very humble beginnings and is tied in with a deeply Christian family who practice others first. Reminds me of the way Gale Sayers was. Great player, very humble and always quiet about his own accomplishments. If you never read his book, "I Am Third", I highly recommend it. Our Nick is another Gale.?

A good role model

I like his TD celebrations. Hand the ball to the ref and not say or do a thing.

That is possible. Regardless, still a touch of class

Act like you've been there before -or- old school class. (but "some" are entertaining)

I just don't like the idea it was sheer luck because I have a feeling the majority of people who say that would also criticize had we drafted chubb there then giants take Hernandez then we take Corbett. Especially now with how good Hernandez has shown. They would say we should have drafted Hernandez then chubb because you know the giants weren't taking a running back, but now they have an all pro and we have Corbett and chubb when we could have had an all pro and chubb.

And who knows, it could be that the Browns believed the Giants would take Corbett if they didn't and we would have Chubb and our draft room's second choice, Hernandez. I just had a different draft room.  Corbett was nowhere near it. LOL!?

But the risk you also take is that the Giants trade away that draft choice to someone who wanted Chubb after our pick of Corbett. That didn't happen, but it could have. I'm just elated we ended up with Chubb and also somehow found Wilson in the 5th in the 2019 draft. That is the most unbelievable bit our luck in our favor in the draft in years. Usually we end up with the Coleman's, the Gilberts and he who cannot be named of Heisman House fame.?

What was my original statement? That he was better than Hernandez? Cause I could have sworn it was a response to you saying he was a 4th round pick and i said he was widely regarded as a 2nd round and pick and most graded the draft pick in the b to a- range. Which is all true.  Your original post said nothing about Hernandez and my follow up said nothing about him just that he wasn't graded as a "4th rounder at best" by pretty much every scout.  You sure are learning well from a particular poster on here.  Move the goal post in a debate when shown evidence to the contrary.

Granted he does suck but it was not seen as a horrible pick at the time.

Yep and look at the one chosen right after him, Hernandez with his A rating. And guess what-he's their quality starter at LG. Go figure. I could have lived with that choice.

Look at the post literally right before this one. 

Nfl.com projected him as a second rounder. The second website listed liked the pick and in their mock had him going 39th. The third website gave the grade a b+. Those were literally just the first 3 results on Google when I typed in 2018 2nd round draft.

Same here. Big reach.

Yeah, I saw you said that......but I had to dig deep into my draft list to find that guys name.  And as I recall, most thought it was a surprising reach.

Again we see now that Corbett has sucked but most pre draft projections had him 2nd round and most graded the pick an "a a- or b+" after the pick was made.

When you have a big gun, you shoot it.  You don't use it for a fence post.

But it was a two back system back then.  The less 'stuck-up' guys blocked for each other....and the QB.     (I won't even mention that he was a FB.....cos it meant something different then)

@orion said:

, had me wondering what sort of value Dorsey assigned to Chubb.

High....At time of Chubb draft..Crow was already gone..Hyde was in.. but carrying a high price tag..Duke-Dayes & 3 other Dudds.. sometimes it's good gm's know guys in this business..see Ray farmer or S.Brn... 

@mjp28 said:

He didn't have to with his pulling guards and they didn't have today's passing game.

When you lead the league in rushing 8 of 9 seasons nobody questions your blocking.

In an interview, maybe 10-15 years ago he said that it was his biggest regret regarding his career.  He said that he should've been a tenacious blocker.

@tour2ma said:

Only question around Chubb at the draft was his knee... I'm sure some teams dropped him down their boards due to it.

Brown didn't block...

again..The Giants took Barkley..Dorsey had to of known from his good buddy Gettelman? that Dave was not trading out of 2.2 taking Guard Hernandez pick? Opened door to take Chubb at 2.3...and thanks again G-men...

....and I understood at the time that only the Giants stood between us and our next pick....but there was always the chance of a trade....and the mere fact that we DID NOT draft him 2.1, and we took some guy on page 5 of our draft sheets instead, had me wondering what sort of value Dorsey assigned to Chubb.
