Are Orcs, Uruks and Hobgoblins the same thing?

What are the Hobgoblins mentioned in The Hobbit by Gandalf the Grey? We know they were larger kinds of orcs that lived in the Grey Mountains north of Mirkwood. Some Tolkien fans have speculated that hobgoblins are Tolkien's early idea of the solider-orcs known as Uruks in The Lord of the Rings.

In this video I'll dive into what we know about Hobgoblins and also briefly mention how they are represented in The Lord of the Rings Online.

But let me know what you guys think in the comments! Do you think Hobgoblins were their own kind of orcs or simply another word for uruks?
