Adrian Hubbard is not a first round pick. He will be lucky to be a day two pick. Unless he has a 8+ sack season he is a 5-6th round pick.

You have no idea how the draft works. And
at saying he's "5th-6th round". Maybe if he would have went out this year, but we're talking about next year. The obvious improvement that everyone has in our defense in the second year, the fact that Hubbard has already got early round hype for next year, etc. I'm not saying he's a first round lock at the moment, but I wouldn't be shocked at all if he went in the first, he has first round potential. He had a good first year as a starter, some people here are too quick to pull the trigger on guys like A-Hubb and Belue after one year. From what we saw out of both of them at A-Day, they're getting ready to blow up.

A tall lanky pass rusher like Hubbard will be a higher rd pick at lowest, you just saw 1 with Dion Jordan, Ansah was a ridiculous talent but because of DJ's length and versatility he was not only taken higher, but the Dolphins targeted him and traded up to get him (when Oakland saw their guy, DJ Hayden, was gonna fall to Miami's pick)
Hubbard just needs a marginally good season better than normal and his athleticism, scheme diversity and length propels the rest into the 1st rd, if he could be a productive pass rusher, like more than 5 or 6 sacks this yr, we could be talking about him in a yr as a top 15 pick.
I'll give you another example, on film to me Datone Jones from UCLA was a top 10 pick as a DT in either scheme but because he plays in a 3-4 and because of Sharriff Floyd and Sheldon Richardson are more WOW body types and length and athleticism is there and many scouts view a 3- 4 DL as a space eater but fail to see the versatility in some of those guys with a team that plays a hybrid multiple front. The Packers at 25 (I think or 26) got a steal with him. I thought the Jets might take him at 13 and they didn't. Draft is a weird thing sometimes

He's a 6'6" linebacker. He has potential off the charts. There were some saying he was fringe 1st round this draft. He will likely be mocked in many 1st rounds for next draft.

hes essentially the same player as dion jordan, arguably had a better season last year than jordan (more sacks, more tfl, more qb hurries, around the same tackles) while playing better teams, and jordan went 3rd overall.
