Chinn is 6'3" 221. Doesn't have the bulk of those guys, but is that what we really need? Derwin James was 6'2", 215 when he came out and Chinn is an even better athlete across the board while being 6 lbs bigger. I love the idea of adding a big, athletic monster-back in the middle of the defense.
Idk man, I mean I’ve seen you pimp Chinn pretty hard over the past few weeks and I’m genuinely wondering what you’re seeing besides an athlete? The ONLY thing I see Chinn has in common with Derwin James is physical size. He shows insanely poor awareness on the back end, constantly putting himself on an island by misreading plays. I’m really not sold on him at all. Can his physical tools make splash plays from time to time? Sure. Will it show up in the pros when EVERYONE is bigger, stronger and faster? Idk. Are you willing to gamble the 30th pick in a critical draft? I’m not...
Aaron Rouse is probably my favorite comp for him. (shout out MCG).
Obviously I could be way wrong but he just doesn’t show a ton of smarts out there. And that’s a big red flag to me. With how advanced and high powered offenses are in the NFL, a player that just runs around like a maniac that can’t ever seem to be in the right place at the right time, I don’t see him making a huge name for himself.
Having said all that, I’d like to close by saying what I say at work all the time: “I’m just a dumb mailman, wtf do I know”. Lol.
