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.
