Mr. Scot

I get the sentiment, but I'd also be okay with it if we got good and the rest just continued to suck

Aaaaaand scene...

I think he's gonna look better later in his career too.

Didn't Kony Ealy have a story like that?

So unless I'm missing something, this guy actually has both Will Levis and Anthony Richardson dropping all the way out of the first round?

Jonathan Jones actually has a somewhat similar result. Jones sees Levis to the Colts at 4, Stroud to the Titans at 11 and Richardson to the Texans at 12. Still only two QBs in the top 10 and one taken at 12, but neither Richardson nor Levis falls as far for him as Breer has them.

Not quite true... Young has pretty much every quality that I prefer in a quarterback. The durability concerns scare me though. That's why my preference is Stroud, but I'd also be pretty happy with Young as long as we can keep him upright.

What got me with Rhule wasn't so much the Huddle but the media. Even there it's not so much that I was shocked by media hype as I was pissed that we fell for it

That's a damn near universal sentiment

Struck me a little odd too...

Hope so.

No argument there. That's one of the reasons why I never understood the hype about him. It's not like he was winning championships.

I like Young way better than I would have liked Fields.

A lot of people have been projecting Robinson to the Eagles at 10 but a few with knowledge of the way Howie Roseman thinks don't believe that'll happen. Guess we'll see...

Breer agrees...

Writeups for the above quarterback picks: Colts: Stroud is the best fit for Shane Steichen’s offense. I’ve heard assistant GM Ed Dodds, who has juice in that building, really likes him. But, as I’ve also heard it, GM Chris Ballard puts stock in the S2 test, which could be an issue for Stroud. Ballard was all over Will Levis in the fall, and I don’t think Indy has the issue with his personality that other teams do. Then, there’s how the developmental template used on Jalen Hurts (whom Steichen coached in Philadelphia) could work wonders for Anthony Richardson. And even the little tell in the workout with BYU’s Jaren Hall being tucked in with all the others when the Colts were traveling around to see these guys (which could be for the scenario in which the Colts go with a non-QB at No. 4). So I’m holding my breath here and going with Stroud. Texans: I had to find a home for Levis, and if it’s not Indianapolis, it’s hard to find one. Levis has had a very up-and-down ride through the predraft process—from some interviews that left teams wondering about his personality, to the more recent buzz that he’ll go higher than expected. In the scenario I’ve laid out, I do think Richardson would be a consideration. But Levis, who is tough, experienced and was beloved in Lexington, gets the nod, with the feeling he’ll be ready to play faster. Bucs: I didn’t want to give them a quarterback, because I do think the Bucs are excited to see what they have in Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask. And if it were Levis sitting there for Tampa, I might go with, say, Oklahoma OT Anton Harrison. But the value of Richardson being here, in tandem with the top tackles being gone, makes this a swing that Tampa has to take in its first-year post–Tom Brady. And those other quarterbacks on the roster? They would give the Bucs leeway to sit Richardson for a year if they want to.

Other notable picks... - Tyree Wilson to the Texans at 2 - Will Anderson Jr to the Cardinals at 3 - Jalen Carter to the Seahawks at 5 - Peter Skoronski to the Raiders at 7 - Lukas Van Ness to the Falcons at 8 - Christian Gonzalez to the Eagles at 10 - Michael Mayer to the Packers at 13 - Jaxon Smith-Njigba to the Jets at 15 - Joey Porter Jr to the Commanders at 16 - Bijan Robinson to the Lions at 18 - Nolan Smith to the Seahawks at 20 - Dalton Kincaid to the Raiders at 21 - Zay Flowers to the Ravens at 22 - Felix Anudike-Uzomah to the Saints at 29 - Jahmyr Gibbs to the Eagles at 30

Breer isn't as in the business of doing mocks on a regular basis. He prefers to do just one close to the draft and vets his choices with personnel people. What does he foresee for the quarterbacks? Obviously Bryce Young goes first overall to the Panthers because he's been saying that for a while. The rest are listed below: 4. Colts - CJ Stroud The Colts wind up getting CJ Stroud without moving up at all after the Texans and Cardinals take other positions. Mind you, Breer does believe the Cardinals could potentially deal their pick...to the nervous Colts. Same result. 12. Texans - Will Levis Like the Colts, the Texans also get a quarterback without trading up. In this case it's Levis, who Breer acknowledges could also go to Indianapolis. So whither Richardson? 19. Bucs - Anthony Richardson To Tampa, who + having Baker Mayfield - can afford to sit him for a year while he adjusts to the NFL. ... So basically, we get the guy we wanted after massively trading up while everybody else gets one by just kinda sitting there. Not sure I like how this plays out for us... ...and I'm probably not alone.

Don't know how he'll do at Nebraska but agree totally with the rest.

See, this to me is pretty typical. Other than one or two extremes, I haven't seen many I'd call "Bryce haters". If anything, there are "Bryce doubters". Or like me, "Bryce pleasedon'tlethimgethurt-ers"

One other note...

Voth, when asked about Fitterer's"superpower"... We've heard before from Joe Person and others how Rhule went about "consensus building"

Trade ups are already leading 1-0
