I doubt that the owner is just going to let him screw them over.

They're doing everything they can to set up to draft the BPA, irrespective of position. Byrd couldn't have been that much. Don't be surprised if we get a vet edge. Ebron is still out there too in regards to TE help.

I thought that it was a misguided take to begin with, but plenty of talking heads ran with it, and plenty of fans ran right after them.

That's really not the point. The point is the perceived value of the player versus the opportunity costs. Sure, a team will pull the trigger when/if they deem it's worth it. But if they deem another player is more valuable, they'll pass QBs off to someone else.

I know some Huddlers are probably dumbfounded that a team would pass up on Stroud. It just goes to show that media-driven narratives don't mean sh¡t to all front offices.

To say that the S2 is the selling point is disingenuous, & I shall not listen to clowns. Why is Young ahead of Stroud on many boards?

There are 31 other teams to root for. Just saying.

What?! You just told me that you prefer Stroud in this same thread.

Out of all the top QBs, Stroud's numbers took the biggest tumble when under pressure. He gets wildly inconsistent. That is the biggest criticism that scouts/analysts have on him. He doesn't have the escape-ability of Young, or the accuracy off-platform.

We already know that his playing weight at Bama was a buck and the low to mid nineties.

It also has grown men, particularly in the SEC.

Limitations aren't really proven. They are simply projections based out of fear when you get right down to it. I'm sure he's faced doubters since he was a child, but he continued to prove people wrong all along the way. He's been the best of the bunch.

Dude, he literally said "little." Neither Richardson or Levis fit the bill.

Whoever came up with that is a genius. The perfect meme for Bryce-hater cry babies.

Yeah, but the little pun wouldn't apply to anyone else.

I guess some people think you're trolling.

Because some FOs and coaches are susceptible to media-driven hype Because he was saddled with bad coaching that was not trying to play to his strengths, had to deal with more than one OC, had a terrible O-line as far as pass protection, and didn't have any great weapons.

Thank you! Like I always say: Context matters.

In a perfect world, Caleb Williams would be in this draft, but it's this draft. I'm higher on Young than the others, sure, but for me it's pretty simple: Young is the best of this draft based upon his collegiate career. Stroud is the purest passer, but has been highly inconsistent when the pressure comes, so much so that his play notably suffers. AR-15 is raw and the quintessential boom or bust player. Young's tape doesn't show the deficiencies of the other prospects. I can't get upset if they decide to choose the guy with the best tape, and legitimately deserving of his Heisman trophy, simply because he plays at 190 pounds at 21 years old. It's a controlled swing for the fences. I'm not going to get upset due to that.

That's not what was said. They absolutely are being taught how to hit the QB without getting a penalty. Who has dived off a cliff defending his size? Show me all these posts that don't make sense. I think that it's the other way around. People who just don't want him because of his size have gone way overboard in their criticism. They don't want to talk football, and even when they do they're talking out their ass.

I mean, I like Downs, but the expectation for him really isn't a WR1. Depending upon what TE is available, I'd probably be inclined to take the TE, but I'm down with Downs.

Easier said than done. That will likely take some draft capital, and honestly this WR class doesn't necessarily have any sure-fire beasts. If one of the WRs slides into the second, then maybe, otherwise we might be better off just going BPA. I think that could be a TE before it's a WR, but, then again, we need a pass rusher and an LB, so I don't know. The WR out of UT looks interesting. I doubt Quentin slides. Njigba is probably the surest WR in the draft, so he'll be long gone.

Talking about salty.

Not surprised one bit. I told y'all over a month ago. Intellectually, you have to take Young.
