We take Bryce, Stroud goes to Indy at 4, AR to Seahawks at 5 and then I think the Pats are gonna trade up with the Raiders by giving away Mac Jones + more and then take Levis at 7.

homer votes for Bryce from me dawg

Lol oof. Bryce it is then. I don't put a ton of stock into a test like this, film is most important. But that big of a difference for players who were pretty close in game film anyways. Bryce is the guy.

Yes early on when nobody knows anything there's all kinds of stuff like that. It trended away from him pretty quickly

The people with more money than you can even imagine and who are putting that money on the line 100% have more info than anyone other than the team itself. And I'm referring to Vegas/oddsmakers resulting in the line shifting not the random people betting on it. It's Young.

It may be possible but after the last few weeks and the money speaking those odds are extremely extremely slim. Seems pretty clear and obvious Young is our guy, period.

yeah and that's only if we also like Stroud which I'm not so sure of any more. If we are sold on Young even that's not enough

why are we still talking about a trade down lol, we're taking Young at 1

Glad we got the W but Turbo is a big loss. Now down basically an entire top line with him, Patches and Svech out. I think we can handle it with next man up for the remainder of this series but after that is going to be a really tall task. I won't count them out but at this point with injuries I view it as we're basically playing with house money. Any more success from this point is just a cherry on top but I have no expectations of a long run unfortunately. Just bad injury luck this year.

I really do like Miller, also Scoot too. But Wemby is generational and you take a chance on him staying healthy every fuging time if you win the lottery this year. I just hope we get a top 3 pick as there’s a clear cut off after those 3.

just messin with your choice of words brotha! lighten up a bit!

Miles is most likely a piece of poo human being, but if not here he's just gonna go to the Lakers or Philly or something on the cheap so screw it I'll take him back here for cheap. Hope we get Wemby or at least Miller and we can actually compete next year and maybe keep LaMelo from bolting at first opportunity.

had a good time at a bar in Spartanburg a few years back drinking with Joe, David, Will, Jourdan and some roaring riot bros. beat reporters get poo on wayyyy too much by dumb fans online, cool to have you here but be careful!

damn mr Scot is getttin busy with mrs scot in the middle of the damn day

I don't like JSN enough to do that trade whether we had Stroud or Young, and I'm less likely to do it if we take Young. Really just need to go BPA at 39.

definitely trying to go to Jax, waiting for schedule release to confirm it's a date I can do. Nashville would be a blast but not sure if I can swing it. Been spending a fair amount of time in FL for work and will try to line it up to be able to go to all 3 road games in FL, also would like to go to the home game vs the Vikings with some family (who are all vikings fans). Haven't been to a game since at Tampa in 2018 which is a joke as I was going to 2-3 every year before then. Guess that's what covid, not living local, and the team sucking ass will do to a fan

dude you going to jax pools with the riot this year?

He's not a Cam or Mahomes or Allen and never will be but he's got enough arm strength to keep defenses honest (unlike guys like Mac Jones, Kenny Pickett) and as much as a Brady or Burrow. Different ways to skin a cat. Would I love a do it all guy with elite arm strength too, absolutely. I've long slightly preferred Stroud for various reasons, arm strength being one of them as I think he has that potential to be more of a do it all guy like a Mahomes. But Bryce can absolutely become an elite QB with his accuracy and processing. His arm strength won't hinder him in the NFL it just won't ever be a strength on its own. Which is fine.

More often than not the issue with translating college success at QB into NFL success is mental rather than physical (some exceptions like The Golden Calf of Bristol who just never had an NFL arm). Young doesn't have those concerns, in fact he absolutely excels in that area and it's his biggest strength.

Excited about either Young or Stroud and yes it's looking like Young is the pick. Only thing I'm not excited about is all the bama fans we'll have flooding the huddle

I truly don't consider anyone in the NFC a lock. The NFC's QBs really aren't very good on the whole compared to the AFC. So yeah I think Bryce Young has a great shot, especially with guys dropping out. Even Hurts could be a 1 year wonder like Wentz was. Lack of weapons may make it tougher for him to put up the counting stats to get media hype but with our elite OL and hopefully great coaching I think he'll be one of the top 3 QBs in the NFC (low bar though).

Yeah 99%. That said, and I don't think this will happen just spitballing, the question of 1st overall pick has dominated the headlines for over a month now, what is another week of it really going to do? If anything, announcing Bryce tomorrow would actually in my view bring more interest and intrigue to the draft as then it becomes what do the Texans do at #2 and what do teams after that do? Waiting until draft night for 1st overall to be revealed means you have 10 minutes each to discuss those questions. Why not give it a week to hype up all the other prospects and teams picking and get some fresher reporting here? Not gonna happen, I don't think a pick has ever been announced ahead of time, but logically it could actually make sense for the league to let the Panthers do it if we wanted to.

it's crazy how out of the loop the Rhule regime has made me when it comes to the NFL... Had to look up who Stingley was and see he was the friggin 3rd overall pick last year. Lol in the past before Tepper/Hurney/Rhule extinguished my passion for the team/sport I would know like every 1st round pick let alone top 3. Probably also because we took Horn the year before I didn't know crap about the corners last year, just Sauce after the fact because of how dominant he was and always in the news with the Jets. Seemed like we were locked in to OT pre-draft.

At this point I'm not in either of those camps, I view them as being pretty even, just different. I had slightly preferred Stroud for a while and I still really like him but if we take Young and Stroud falls it won't change my opinion. I think both players are legit prospects with serious franchise QB potential but who also have some (mild) concerns. NFL teams do dumb poo all the time so seeing the Texans trade down or take a defensive player or something wouldn't surprise me nor would it change my opinion on either QB. The Texans should take whichever one we don't take. If they don't, it won't change how I feel about whoever we pick 1st at all.
