Young does not possess a single elite NFL trait but he does everything average and usually mistake free.  He will be a game manager in NFL.  He’ll do well behind great running attack and D but he won’t carry the team on his shoulders.

Processing and dissecting defenses is his elite skill. Probably the most important skill for QBs in the NFL.

All the Stroud over Young fans hearing this news.

Give Young a copy of the play oak and let's roll.

Stroud fan boys get their panties in a bunch everytime someone says Bryce will be the pick.

Get ready for this guy in process blue!

JSN visit may be more about getting more intel on Stroud on what kind of leader he is.  I doubt he is available at pick 39.

If we're playing this game: I think Richardson is the HR swing. I think Stroud is the line drive double. 

AR-Home run swing

Young-triple down the line

Stroud- double in the gap

Levis-swing and miss

AR is so tantalizing.  He already has a floor of one of the best running QBs ever. We know he has the arm. If he gets the passing figured you are talking of best athletes ever to play QB. If they took him at 1 I wouldn't hate it. Swing for the fences.

This confirms Richardson will be the pick.

You don't pass on Bryce Young because you are scared he is going to get injured. Injuries are so fluky. It can happen to anyone at anytime no matter how big, small, tall, short you are. Burrow tore his ACL IN THE POCKET. Herbert got his ribs fractured. Brady tore his ACL in practice. Murray tore his ACL on a non contact play. Hell, our very own Cam Newton got an injury that ruined his career because Kelvin Benjamin is a fat lazy fug that didn't bother to make a tackle on a int and Cam had to run down his defender and fugged his shoulder up forever. Point is, NFL is fuggin rough, EVERYBODY will get hurt at some point.

All I'm saying is, who's to say we go the safe route and draft CJ Stroud just because he's "bigger and taller" and he goes out week one and gets a season ending injury (god forbid)? You can't predict injuries. Just because you might be getting the bigger and taller QB does NOT mean he won't get injured just as much.

Spot on. Cam Newton is exhibit A for this. He was built like a DE and injuries shortened his career. Part of that was his playing style but you are not expecting Young to run a ton either.

Delusional Bears fans think they are getting a top 5 pick next year from us. Anywhere from 8 to 11 wins is my guess.

With Smiths athletic profile we hit the lotto if he develops 

Same with Barno at edge in the 3-4.

I think it's due and this year is a perfect time to do it with a new franchise QB coming in.

OP needs to tell us how the 2023 season went since they are living in 2024.

They need to play baby shark whenever DJ scores a touchdown.

Bryce Young: mini Mahomes 

CJ Stroud: Burrow with a better arm

I prefer Bryce but will be happy with Stroud as well 

Bryce Young is mini Mahomes. Passing on him will be a big mistake.  I like Stroud but I would take Bryce.

Hurst can be Shockey. Let's go get an Olsen in the draft. This draft is stacked at TE.

Young is mini Mahomes. Change my mind. If they pass on him they may regret it. His only flaw is his size.

It’d be pretty hilarious. Even though Richardson has potential it’d be a bad decision to take a guy who isn’t NFL ready at 1. 
 

I think it’d be funny if one day a team trades up to #1 only to trade down multiple times for an overall better haul. 

The plot for Draft Day 2.

I know we need a QB but I would love pairing Anderson opposite of Burns in the 3-4 and let them get after the QB.

Whoever drafts Young will be making a huge mistake. His height is a worry; however, his weight is an even bigger worry. Combine that with average, at best, arm talent and you have a big problem. He has the intellect, some intangibles and seems like a great kid. Those positives provide only a very limited shield from the violent realities of the NFL.

Doug Flutie is a flawed comparison. Wilson had an inch and much more weight. Murray has mobility and speed that Young lacks. Furthermore, I have my doubts about Murray's longevity as well.

Wrong. Young is a mini sized Mahomes. He is good at moving in the pocket and avoiding hits.

Derek Henry was a running back.  My qb being built like a running back is the least of my concerns.

That is why he can play sooner than you think. He can be an elite running QB while he learns on the job.

AR is built like Derek Henry.  He is a unicorn QB if he can be developed correctly. Wouldn't shock me if he ends up going #1 overall based on his physical traits.
