Hubbard is not a good pass rusher and never has been. Hubbard however grades much better against the run than Young who is horrible. Bringing in a guy who is bad against the run on a team that is one of the worst in the NFL isnt very helpful. Young grades out at 169 out of 192 against the run. He grades out at 93 out of 192 in pass rush. Joseph Ossai by comparison grades out at 94 out of 192 in pass rush and 145 out of 192 against the run. If you think a guy playing at Ossai level helps, you are probably going to end up being disappointed when you give up draft picks for such a player when all is said and done
Because the point is you have 3 guys on the field that can’t get pressure for a team that HAS to get pressure. If you can’t slide doubles to Trey every play and have to fan protections you actually help the DTs. Side note, our DT’s are awful at rushing the passer as many good DT’s actually do get pass rush wins which is kind of relevant to the topic.
No clue where you are grabbing “grades” but Ossai’s pass rush win rate is 9.5% so still 7 points less than Young. I can go on and on, there is not a player on our roster that is within 5 points of Young’s pass rush win rate beyond Trey.
Chase Young would be an instant pass rush upgrade on a team that has to find pas rush help.
