That leaves really just one spot to be fought between Kareem, Hubert, Gunter, and Spence.
Kareem is the incumbent, but I think he's lacking in the pass rush department. He's good against the run though.
I could see Hubert or Gunter making it over Kareem if they want some more potential in the pass rush.
Hubert has the best college production, Gunter has the better size and athleticism.
If you're wanting the guy with the highest ceiling, it's probably Gunter.
Or they could go crazy and pick up a cheap past-his-prime vet who is still probably safer depth than any of them, such as Ryan Kerrigan.
I believe if it is a heads up battle between Hubert and Gunter that Hubert gets the roster spot. The film I have been able to find on both players shows, to me, that Hubert has a far higher motor and is just relentless. Gunter seems to let up at times and appears to lack a bit in instincts. Hubert appears to be a guy that you are not going to out work.
Gunter seems to a a guy that brings some skills that they may try to put on the PS and let Hobby try to develop. I would not sell Kareen short though. He seems to be a very solid player when he is on the field and very technically sound.
