ESPN’s Mel Kiper Breaks Down Taking Bradley Chubb at #3

Earlier this week ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr released his Mock Draft, and he took NC State #3 overall with the Indianapolis Colts.

Here he breaks down why:

“You could make the argument [Chubb] is the best player in the draft,” Kiper said. “He’s not that far off from being the No. 1 guy in the draft. He had two great years back-to-back. He’s got a great attitude, great approach. He’s not the elite talent that [2017 No. 1 overall draft pick] Myles Garrett is, but he’s more consistent and more on a daily basis gave you everything he had against the run and the pass. He chased down plays. He’s not Myles Garrett, but he’s close enough to say, ‘Hey, he could be the No. 1 player on anybody’s board.'”

“First of all, he has a real good takeoff,” Kiper said. “He has strong hands. He has really good feet technique — rip, swim move, everything with him. He chases. He goes through double-teams. He gets coverage sacks. He hustles; he never quits. He practices hard and sets the tone for the rest of the team. Great character.”(ESPN)
