I 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

Freeman, Coleman and prospective Chubb owners would lose their minds if Chubb were to land in ATL.

That would be odd, considering they didn't know how to properly use 2 RBs last year. Sarkisian would be so confused having 3.

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.
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.
Idk if there are too many places where he would reasonably get taken where 3 down work is a possibility. The teams that come to mind that need a solid potential work horse also still have situational COP or 3D backs,Washington, NYG, NYJ, Miami (if youre low on Drake) come to mind.
As far as potential work horse stuff, maybe Indy, i guess Pitt if the Bell situation goes south

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.

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.

I know coachspeak isn't worth much this time of year but they've been talking a lot about making an upgrade at RB.
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 don't have much doubt the Lions plan to draft a RB to upgrade Abdullah, but I do have serious doubts it will make much difference for their run game. Cooter love's situational RB's which leads to telegraphing when they are going to run vs pass, they abandon the run on a regular basis for large chunks of games so much it would make Andy Reid blush (2nd to last in the league in rushing attempts), and their O'line while decent in pass blocking was one of the worst units in the league last year in run blocking (granted they had a lot of injuries, but most O'line's do during the course of a year.) From PFF's O'line rankings:

Nelson @ #7
Chubb @ #38
Fantasy owners and Bucs' fans profit.

Think Nelson will be going to the Colts but man, Chubb available at #38 almost seems like a given if available.
RBs are going to be flying off the board the first half of the second round.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
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.

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.

you will only have to wait a little while to see him on the field, hyde will be hurt soon
Something I didn't mention wherever else it was that I was ruminating on Chubb's chances this year...
His outlook for 2018 turns a lot rosier IF Tyrod can hold off Mayfield for a while (or, if Mayfield "fails to push Tyrod" for a while).
Mayfield is going to need his backfield to offer him a lot of help both in terms of pass outlets and blocking assistance. He's a rookie QB, without great arm strength, without great escapability, and without a stalwart at LT. Those things suggest to me very strongly that the Browns will be hesitant to put him out there very often with a back who's a net minus in the passing game. And right now, Chubb is.
Tyrod has a lot more native escapability than Mayfield. He can create time for plays to develop downfield, even when pressured, and isn't going to be as reliant on his backs to keep him alive in the pocket. So they're more likely to excel on offense if they've got their best pure runner out there with him. Now, I don't know that Chubb will be their best pure runner, because Hyde is no slouch (except healthwise), but if you believe in his talent on that front, you probably want Tyrod in command for as much of 2018 as possible.
