"When I heard they traded JPP, I was like 'Wow....they're gonna need a pass rusher now'....but I try not to look at the mock drafts, don't wanna get my hopes up for something that might not happen"

Me neither, not crazy about the scheme fit. We already have one DE converting to an OLB. Why take a guy at 2 that will need to adapt his game to fit a different scheme. Doesn’t seem to make sense. That being said, I trust Gettleman from what I have seen in Carolina so if he likes him go for it.

He is hoping and praying he goes 2. Personally I don't want him there

Agreed. I'm fine with the pick, but would prefer Barkley or a trade down. Chubb is a 4-3 DE. I don't really see him as an end in a 3-4, and although he's relentless, he doesn't have elite bend around the edge.

They were likely looking at JPP's production vs. cap hit in 2019 of $18MM...the equation did not add up well.
A rookie DE would be on a potential 5 yr deal with very reasonable cap hits.
Personally, if they don't want a QB, they need to get a deal in place with Denver and move down to #5. Take Chubb or Barkley there, plus have several additional picks in place to start filling holes on this roster.

To get a younger, potentially better player. JPP wasn't playing anywhere near his pay.
And I don't even like Chubb at 2, but it would certainly make sense.

Weird logic.
I didn't watch much college football this year, but a lot of folks have Chubb going top five in the draft. Just wondering if you could tell me in which games he did "zero?"

So they could use the #2 pick on the same position?

UberAlias explained it better than me
HA!
Yes he does -- and Gettleman loves him some Defensive linemen -- there is a real correlation between the loss of JPP and the possible pick of Chubb -- I would not be so fast to dismiss this idea
Not sure which games you watched. I watched about 5 games of his last year and he was wreaking havoc in every game. Constantly in the backfield and causing problems. The guy is a force. You dont get talked about as a perennial Top 5 pick by EVERY analyst if you do zero in college games.
The fact they got a 3rd round pick (no. 69 overall) for JPP is amazing to me.

My concerns exactly. We'd have 2 guys used to playing with a hand on the ground playing in space. That is why I don't think Chubb is the guy, but I guess you could move him around, play him at DE some downs, OLB others.
That said, what I really like about him is his work ethic. He practices and plays hard.
