I think Chubb is a more powerful player than Long is, and while Long tested better in the the 3-cone and short shuttle, Chubb looks much lighter on his feet than Long does.

Chubb is not like Bosa. Bosa is a far better athlete with elite quick movement.

Chubb is far more similar to Mack.

I would say that Chubb is Mack minus a little bit of the pass rush skills. He's a damn good pick to put opposite of Miller. I was pissed that Chubb fell to Denver....and I still am.

You guys are only going to go as far as Keesum takes you though. And that's not going to be far.

Denver took the best pass rusher in the draft. Why do people think this is bad?

Whether or not he has a career as good as someone else is what we get to find out later. He's probably going to get off to a good start with Von on the other side. Just like the WR Atlanta took who gets to enjoy Julio on the other side.

Remember when Semien has you guys at 9-7...and Horseface was literally trying to hand the starting job to pirate boy the following year?

Bewbies · 05-02-2018, 10:10 AM

Also, without a QB Denver isn't going anywhere. So passing on a potential franchise guy for a pass rusher is always a thumbs up in my book.

Hopefully he helps them improve all the way to 6 or 7 wins, and far enough down the draft board they can't get a QB next year either.

Broncos declined OLB Shane Ray's 2019 team option.
This means Ray will play out the final year of his rookie deal and then become a free agent next March. The former No. 23 overall pick recorded four sacks as a rookie and doubled it to eight in 2016, but Ray then missed half of last season with a wrist injury and managed just one sack in eight games. The Broncos just took EDGE Bradley Chubb at No. 5 overall to pair with All-Pro Von Miller. It's fair to wonder if the Broncos could shop Ray before Week 1.

Bewbies · 05-02-2018, 12:48 PM

Shane Ray will be a Chief next year. Hopefully he turns into the guy everyone thought he was once he gets here.

**jjchieffan** · 05-02-2018, 12:48 PM

Good! I really liked him at Mizzou. I hated him being a Donk. He can come here on a one year prove it deal, or go anywhere else but the AFC West and I will wish him well.

Shane Ray sucks. The guy learned from Von Miller, Demarcus Ware and Wade Phillips and still couldn’t become anything.

Maybe that's why

He was a backup for two years and then got hurt the year Ware left. He's a victim of circumstance. He could still be a double digit sack guy if he can stay healthy.

He’s not a double-digit sack guy. He got a few extra sacks based on coverage due to Von.

He is also as awful vs the run as Dee Ford.

Quesadilla Joe · 05-02-2018, 01:43 PM

Ouch (much better with sound)

**ptlyon** · 05-02-2018, 01:45 PM

Yeah, that pissed me the **** off

I hope that he is a double digit sack guy...the year after he leaves the Donks.
