Am I the only one that thinks Chubb is just a little overrated? He's coming off a horrific injury and no one knows how he will be. I'm in a wait and see mode with him.
Overrated ONLY in terms of how he comes back from the injury IMO......NOT because how talented he is and the production he's put up as a freshman and sophomore.
I'm not questioning the talent but you have to think how he will be mentally. We all saw what happened to Justin Hunter when he came back. Yeah he had good stats but he left a lot of plays on the field because he was thinking about his knee. Maybe Chubb will come back in prime form but if he's thinking about his knee at all he will not be nearly as good as he was pre-injury. All I'm saying is let's just pump the brakes a little. I for one am hoping we see him at his best this year and that he's at 100% so when we shut him and that offense down it will be that much sweeter.

5 running a backs taken in the first round of the last 5 drafts COMBINED. You can keep saying it but it doesn't make it true. The NFL game has changed and RBs just aren't valued nearly as high as they used to be, it's a fact. Teams value qbs, OL, DEs abd CBs much more highly and will wait until the later rounds to draft RBs.....RBs that would've been taken much earlier 10-12 years ago.
So basically you're saying this class will be better than 2008? When 5 RBs went in the first, (McFadden, Felix Jones, Mendenhall, Chris Johnson and Jonathan Stewart). Its possible but highly unlikely. I love Hurd but what you just will not accept and what has been pointed out to you time after time, is that Hurd lacks that top end gear. Henry has it. McFadden, Gurley, Elliot, Johnson, Stewart, Chubb and Fournett have/had it. Hurd just doesnt. Its no knock on him at all. As a matter of fact, his speed is very impressive given his size. Hurd will have to have a monumental season to go in the 1st round imo. I think he goes late second round. Which is very good.

You're smoking crack.
Deshaun Watson and Chad Kelly go before Dobbs

Yeah, more of an NFL type player than Chubb.Kiper high on several Vols for 2017 NFL Draft
Just behind Fournette and Chubb. And imo by the time 2017 comes Hurd should easily go ahead of Chubb.
Hurd is a definite 1st rounder.
Now where is KBVol and all the other guys saying Hurd wouldn't be one of the top 3-4 rated RBs for 2017?
Deshaun Watson? maybe.
Chad Kelly? Hell no.
Kelly is not very good. He's kinda short for the position. He's listed at 6'2" but barely looks 6'1". Last year he got lucky a bunch just throwing it up for grabs and having his extremely talented WRs make plays for him. He also has significant off field issues and doesn't seem like the type of leader you want at the position.
