Some of you are over infatuated with Chubb. He's good... he is not clearly the best player in the draft. And in previous drafts wouldnt even be in the discussion for the 6th pick.

Pass rushers are always harder to find and more valuable than linebackers. Chubb can rush the passer and plays the run well. It doesn't matter if he would have been the 6th pick or the 15th pick last year, he still would be more valuable than a linebacker. You need a franchise QB in this league and you need pass rushers who can disrupt the opposing franchise QB. Without that, your defense will struggle.
I like those LB'ers you mentioned as well. If Ballard goes that route, then I'm fine with it, but we need pass rushers.
