For me there is no scheme or scenario that could make me pick Landry over Chubb.
Chubb is closer to Garrett than he is to Landry.
I like Chubb but he's not in Garrett level.
I really wish Garrett did the shuttle and 3 cone at the combine just to get some comparisons on him but Garrett is a ridiculous pass rush prospect. Dude checked pretty much all the boxes.
Size, athletic ability, off the charts combine testing, arm length, height/weight, technique, speed, production, consistency...
Chubb is a much more well rounded player so I can understand grading him higher. At his floor he's a guy who can do a great job rushing the passer and being a terror vs the run.
However I think Landry has the potential as a pass rusher closer to Garrett than Chubb does.
Would you prefer Robert Mathis or Kevin Carter? Carter was a lot more well rounded as a player but Mathis overall was a better pass rusher.
ing the rest of the NFL and really wants to pick somebody else.
Nothing you can do about the Browns having 1st and 4th pick in the draft.
