That is not how the S2 Cognition Test works. You are thinking more along the lines of the Wonderlic, which I would agree is pretty worthless. S2 is a good indicator of NFL success. If Young is more than slightly ahead of Stroud, he should be the pick. I have heard from more than one scout that CJ Stroud comp is Jared Goff. Did we just mortgage our future for Jared Goff? The other thing going around the talk shows is that the demand for that no. 1 pick was greatly exaggerated and the Colts told the Bears they didn't feel that strongly about any of the qb's. Houston, Indy, Vegas, all content to stay put.

This is completely wrong and a really crappy twisting of his words by a Charlotte rag. If he was afraid of competition why would he come to Ole Miss and play Bama every year with a team with less talent that Florida. Corral is 6'2" 205 pounds. How is that remotely the same concerns as Young.

Someone is going to drop at a position of need for us and we will get a steal at edge, cb, wr.

Cam had66.1% completion percentage with 30 td's and 7 ints and 1473 yds rushing. AR had 53.8% completion percentage with 17td's and 9 ints and 654 yds rushing. Both may have been projects but AR is a much bigger and more difficult project. Cam took over games all by himself and dominated in college. AR looked good against Utah and then horrible when it really counted. Cam's AU was much better than AR's UF but still. Not remotely close as candidates.

Man if our situation is worse than the Jags year one of Urban....wow.

I did. I saw a young, raw qb put up good numbers against Utah. He then completed 40% of his passes against Kentucky and finished the year with 33.3% against his rival FSU. He then decided to sit out the bowl game. 33.3%. Pathetic.

Sounds like someone is really hoping AR becomes the shiny hook and Levis falls to them. Staying put to take AR or Levis.

It's funny to see people trash Bryce Young because he's the smallest qb prospect in years but prop up AR who is the least accurate passer in years. Both are pretty big gambles. I'll take the guy who is a great passer over the guy who is a great athlete.

Please. He may not be the best choice at 1 but a bust? He may get injured but come one. His decision making speed, field vision, and accuracy mean he no likely at all to be a bust. That person is Will Levis.

He did look great but combine and pro-day are low in importance for me. Intriguing his last game was against a great D on a big stage and he looked excellent.

On to what? The combine and his pro day? That was his last game.

Anthony Richardson literally hit his ceiling today.

Wrong: PFF

Why does everyone keep brining up the Lamar comparison. We aren't going after unproven college "Lamar" when we could have contacted Lamar and the Ravens about obtaining the real Lamar. We don't want him or a half-assed version of him either. Some things to keep in mind: throw out the best and worst game of each candidate (Bill Walsh), and don't get fooled by the underwear Olympics, and worthless pro days. The Stroud crowd keep bringing up UGA. Wow, one game where he didn't look terrible under pressure because OSU schemed the game in a way to neutralize the UGA pass rush. We knew who we wanted when the trade went down. That is who we will pick.

Rogers is a flaky weirdo who may not even play in '24. He is a unique situation. I wonder if someone is going to try to wait out the Lamar Ravens drama? Fully guaranteed + 2 first rounders is too steep but that may change.

Yeah, I like Reich too. Hope Tepper got lucky.

Based on what? The fact that he did a 180 and went with a retread NFL coach recently fired instead of the next flavor college coach w/ virtually no NFL experience? I like Reich and the choice, but the man got fired in Indianapolis for a reason and that reason was losing football games. Tepper is 29-53 since buying the team. His highlights are paying a ton for Matt Rhule and defrauding Rock Hill, SC.

Tepper hasn't accomplished squat. He hired a college fool, threw a bunch of money at him, and allowed him to squander draft picks. He then appointed someone who was not a full time NFL head coach but plenty capable of turning around a demoralized team so we could ruin any chance we had at a good qb q/ pick 9. He then hired a retread albeit obvious choice for head coach in Reich but now we are giving away our future and betting everything on a midget or an Ohio State qb. I'll admit Tepper is not a bad owner when I see results and not until then. He's currently sticking his and his girlfriends nose into the qb search.

They'll get whoever we say they will get and like it.

Alabama might have one wr go in round 5 and their line was better run blocking than pass blocking. It wasn't the usual Alabama team.

He inherited a team that was going through a very serious rape scandal and played in the Big12 Championship and the Sugar Bowl in year three. They were a close loss to Oklahoma away from going to the college football playoff. Tepper foolishly threw a bunch of money and power to him; can't blame him for taking the deal. I'm sure he actually felt quite confident he would succeed based on his one year in the NFL w/ the Giants. Tepper thought he found the next Pete Carrol but Pete had 15 years in the NFL before he came back.

A lot of other people thought highly of him too. He could have been a round 1 wr w/out the injury. Ekwonu is a Rhule guy. Doesn't make him a bad player.

Yeah, Mayfield is not a bust. He was a long term starter for Browns, started for us, and now is starting for Bucs. Not a long term solution but you can't start that much and be a bust.

Agree. And with at least four qbs going in the first round somebody has to drop. Will be a nice spot for a team that could take edge, lb, cb, te, or wr.

No. Bryce Young's size is why they are building around Fields.
