I'll admit, I'm not as knowledgeable on 3-4 schemes.
I don't see a huge difference in size or scheme adaptability with Chubb and JPP. Is Chubb an Outside LB in a 3-4 scheme?
Aren't 3-4 DE's (5 techniques) big power DE's? Like 6'6 300 lb types?
In any case, I'm thinking the Giants draft at least 2 defensive lineman.
Thoughts?
One flavor of the 3-4 wants big space-eating ends. Others, like for example the one Wade Phillips coaches, relies on more athletic ends because his scheme calls for more pass rush expectations from the ends as well as the LBs.
The problem with Chubb as OLB is he's stiff in his hips, his 3 cone also showed some of his limitations. He's better as a base 43 end. Power rusher type. If OV is playing the Joker/Elephant I don't know if Chubb is an ideal fit on the other side.
Kinda the problem we had with JPP and why a lot of us were confused to what his role would be.
Snacks played NT with the jets.
A good two-gap 320+ NT is even rarer than a 3 down 4-3 RE, nowadays most teams mitigate this by playing more one gap and hybrids.
SAM - Chandler Jones 6'5 265
SILB - Deone Buchanan 6'1 211
MILB - Karlos Dansby 6'3 250 (2018 UFA)
WLB - Haason Reddick 6'1 237
That could give us a good idea of the kind of players the Giants are looking for at LBer, if the scheme is going to be the same as the Cardinals scheme.
SAM - Olivier Vernon 6'2 261
SILB - Alec Ogletree 6'3 232
MILB - BJ Goodson 6'1 243
WLB - Unknown at this point
Am I right, or wrong with where I slotted them?
Maybe the Giants are looking for a Haason Reddick type LBer to be the OLBer opposite of Vernon?

This is a very good explanation of the situation.
Snacks and Vita Vea.
2 varied "OLB/DE types" (OV, Mauro/Wynn, add a draft pick)
1 LB (Ogletree or Collins)
3 safeties (Collins, Thompson, Adams and / or draft pick)
3 corners
Martin 6'6" 272lbs
So I guess Mauro is a pass downs front 3 unit player and Martin an OLB that can run blitz and go to line etc? Attack.
