    A little bit

    Here's the thing, as we stand today we have a very 4-3 friendly roster, but Dean Peas traditionally runs a 3-4 where Hubbard does not benefit from IMO. He is a 4-3 DE thru and thru, I dont see much OLB in that guys game.

    FWIW I said the same thing about Kevin Dodd when we took him, Im somewhat worried we may still be trying to mold DE's into OLBs.

    IF however the plan is to shift back to a 4-3 (as Vrabel somewhat talked about) then I could stomach Hubbard a little better. Especially if we're able to gain an extra 2nd or 3rd out of trading back.

    Long story short Im not a fan of asking slow DE's to try to stand up as OLB's.

    Ive repeatedly asked you OSU homers for something to turn me on Hubbard...

    You guys either dont care to make me look wrong or cant. Which is it?

    ID LOVE TO BE ABLE TO BE ON BOARD WITH OUR 1ST PICK! Help make that happen.

    I have been trying to like him too, trying really hard

    I watched video on him, that didn't do it lol

    The 3 cone thing is cool, hopefully that means something

    The 3 cone and shuttle times are encouraging, but if you have to reference combine times to sell a prospect then he either came from a small school where tape is scarce or his tape sucks.

    I truly dont care about 40 times and stuff, that all should show up on tape but his doesnt...

    Surely a GM wouldnt listen to another GM in a situation like that? Surely they are all looking out for themselves and would do anything to get one over another team?

    I just cant see JRob saying "we brought him in for this situation, I know the teams picking next are keen on him, he is worth this pick, high character, we'd take if we didnt have Marcus, highest QB on our draft board"

    And the other GM then going "Awesome, thanks for doing the research for us, we'll trade with you"

    I think the biggest thing with Hubbard is hes not gonna be a bust. His floor is really high regardless of scheme. Karl Klug level player at worst. But hes still only 2-3 years into playing DLine and 5 years into focusing solely on football so theres still plenty of room to improve.
    Could see him being better than Brian Robison or Carlos Dunlap potentially, will never be a Watt or Bosa.
    Hes got a good motor and drive to get better so he fits team culture well.
    Id much rather get him in the second or take Jayln Holmes in the 3rd/4th. (NFL profile)

    umm.. no, you just didn't make it public (or at least visible) that you were against him until yesterday.

    He's the complete OLB style player, and not just a cover guy OR just a pass rush specialist... has TREMENDOUS football IQ, has hands just as good, IF NOT BETTER, than Joey Bosa, is a perfect fit for VRABEL's FRONT MULTIPLICITY.
