Wow
Not what I read. Sony's first run was 4.55 and Chubb's 2nd run was 4.58.his 2nd run was the same as Sonys first
Sony's first run was 4.58, second was 4.55.Not what I read. Sony's first run was 4.55 and Chubb's 2nd run was 4.58.
If Chubb is no good due to that game vs bama, then fournette and guice stink tooI think alot peope over reacted to chubbs last game vs bama where he went 18 carries for 25 yards for a 1.4 ypc....bama makes people look bad. Sony michel went 14 for 98...a stout 7.0 ypc vs bama makes people pay attention
that was my point....Bama shuts down really good players.....If Chubb is no good due to that game vs bama, then fournette and guice stink too
A couple others I also like, but a Lion Chubb would be a nice addition.
An AFC director of college scouting said that Georgia RB Nick Chubb was "smart to go back to school because he got in better shape."
"I thought he was special before he tore up his knee. I don't see special anymore but I do see a solid runner," the scouting director said. NFL Media's Lance Zierlein compares the 5-foot-11, 227-pound Chubb to Cowboys RB Alfred Morris and stamps him with a grade for Rounds 3-4. The Georgia standout was a shining performer at the NFL Scouting Combine, posting a composite athletic testing score in the 89th percentile of NFL running backs.

Georgia RB Nick Chubb has visits with the Bucs and Falcons on his schedule.
This is on the heels of a visit with the Panthers. "They're showing me a lot of love," Chubb said of the Falcons. The Panthers and Bucs are more clear fits for the talented running back, as available carries don't exactly exist for the Falcons right now. Chubb likely ends the process as a second or third round pick.

That would be odd, considering they didn't know how to properly use 2 RBs last year. Sarkisian would be so confused having 3.Freeman, Coleman and prospective Chubb owners would lose their minds if Chubb were to land in ATL.
NFL Films' Greg Cosell believes Georgia RB Nick Chubb is the perfect fit for the Panthers.
Cosell bases it on Norv Turner's track record at the position. The Panthers have two third round picks, but to acquire Chubb a second-round selection might need to be used. The Panthers have said they want a hammer to complement Christian McCaffrey, and Chubb is outstanding on contact.

Curious why you think that? Abdullah and Blount and Riddick already there on a team that generally doesn't run much.Pwingles said:Raiders, Lions, Panthers, Bucs are the ideal spots IMO
maybe a few other places that are timeshare but dont quite suck, Miami, Philly, NYJ
Abdullah sucks. Blount is old and only useful very situationally. He would likely split time with Riddick. I think they have been searching for a guy to lean on in the run game for a long time. I like their offense, i dont personally think Chubb is useless on 3D, so I think it would be possible in a lot of scenarios for him to eat into some of Riddicks snaps when the situation is ambiguous for run or pass.Curious why you think that?

Maybe Ideal was too strong a word. I am not sold that Cam will continue to be option 1 in Gl situations for much longer. I also do not think that CMC is someone they should want to use as a work horse. He is much more valuable as someone they can utilize all over the field. Giving him 15+ carries along with his routes he runs would be poor use of his skills imo. Not saying he isnt a capable runner, just that he has so much more talent besides that.Yeah I don't agree with CAR being "ideal" either. Ideal is going somewhere with at least a chance to get 3 down work. Zero chance in CAR IMO
It has been my experience that fantasy owners quickly become aware of the other backs contract situation in scenario like that. I doubt it would make him slip.The ideal landing spot is Philly. They draft him early, he falls in rookie drafts because of Ajayi, and Ajayi is gone in 2019 or earlier. He'd be paired with a great young QB and a very good Offensive line. I'd also be happy with him going to the Steelers in the 2nd if they think there's a 0% chance they resign Bell.

I know coachspeak isn't worth much this time of year but they've been talking a lot about making an upgrade at RB.Curious why you think that? Abdullah and Blount and Riddick already there on a team that generally doesn't run much.
Knowing Patricia I doubt he has much confidence in Abdullah/Blount as the only between the tackles RBs on his roster. If Chubb is available at 51 I have to think they are taking him.I know coachspeak isn't worth much this time of year but they've been talking a lot about making an upgrade at RB.
Detroit struggled on the ground and averaged 3.35 rushing yards, the fewest in the NFL. The Lions’ offensive line was also partially to be blamed for these issues, as Detroit running backs averaged just 0.96 yards before contact, the second-lowest average in the league. Furthermore, on outside zone runs – Detroit’s most frequently used run concept – the Lions averaged just 0.45 yards before contact, the sixth-lowest in the NFL.
Think Nelson will be going to the Colts but man, Chubb available at #38 almost seems like a given if available.Nelson @ #7
Chubb @ #38
Fantasy owners and Bucs' fans profit.
An anonymous scout told Bob McGinn football that he believes Georgia RB Nick Chubb would have been the first running back selected if not for his knee injury.
"If he hadn’t had that knee he’d have been the first guy picked," the scout told McGinn. "He was good before he hurt that knee. Once a running back has an ACL, man, that’s tough." Another scout noted to McGinn that he showed "tremendous resiliency," and he was one of the stars of the NFL Scouting Combine. Where Chubb goes will depend on how confident a team is in the medical report, but it wouldn't shock us if he was off the board in the first 64 selections.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller hears that Georgia RB Nick Chubb will be the first running back off the board on Friday.
That would mean Chubb goes ahead of several talented running backs still on the board, namely LSU's Derrius Guice. It appears teams feel like Chubb's health isn't as big of concern as some might have anticipated, and his ridiculous performance at the Scouting Combine likely had much to do with alleviating those fears. We could see a team like the Browns, Colts, Buccanneers or Broncos -- just to name a few -- who could look to select him near the top of the second round.

Browns selected Georgia RB Nick Chubb with the No. 35 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft.
Chubb (5’11/227) was a 2015 Heisman candidate before shredding his left PCL, MCL, and LCL six games in, only to make a stunningly quick recovery and play out his final two years, logging a 758/4,769/6.3/44 career rushing line with 31 receptions. Chubb broke tackles at one of the nation’s highest rates and showed high-end athleticism as this running back class’ No. 2 SPARQ athlete behind Saquon Barkley, running 4.52 with a springy 10-foot-8 broad jump at the Combine. On tape, Chubb reminds of Jonathan Stewart in his prime with flashes of Jamal Lewis. Chubb was pulled on passing downs at Georgia, however, a red flag for his three-down viability. The Browns signed Carlos Hyde and also roster Duke Johnson, so Chubb's early path to touches might be difficult.

Well this season he has Hyde to contend with, and if/when Hue gets fired Chubb may not have Haley as his OC next season.Anyone else experience their own Chubb when he was drafted to the browns? Up and coming offense with playmakers. Improving o line. Great defense. Haley. I have the 1.3 pick in my rookie draft. Sign me up. I’ll take him over rashad penny based in situation.
you will only have to wait a little while to see him on the field, hyde will be hurt soonNooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Chubb was my favorite RB in the class. I was hoping he'd go to a team like Indy or the Bucs, but no, the Browns. They have the talent to be an up and coming offense, I understand that. But it's the Browns. I have the 1.03 and I'll probably still take him, but I really wish he went to a different team purely because they seem cursed.
