So who is better, Stroud or Young?

I have to ask, what is the fascination with these two Qbs?  Shoot, Qbs coming from Ohio State should be entirely out of the question at this point.  As for the Alabama QB, meh meh.  The names should be Levis, Hooker, and in a trade back scenario, Anthony Richardson.  Really at number one overall, Levis is the only guy I would personally consider.  Yet again I can't stress this enough, any name coming out of OSU, that should almost be anathema at this point!!!

Levis? What Kentucky QBs have made it? Couch, Lorenzo? Cobb had to covert to WR.
Just showing how silly the college argument is.

Kentucky is not really known for high QB picks.  They aren't really known for much of anything concerning football.  They are more of a basketball school.  It's actually a good sign for Levis to get attention playing for this school.

Ohio State hasn’t really been known for high QB picks until 2019 with Haskins. And Day told Haskins directly, along with all 31 NFL teams that spoke with him, that he was too immature and needed another year in college.

 

FWIW, my OSU sources have raved about Stroud for a while now. Fields is more gifted in terms of athleticism and arm talent, but Stroud’s accuracy and anticipation are 1.1 quality. He’s the reason Chris Olave and Jeremy Ruckert didn’t enter the NFL draft after 2020.

 

I think Bryce is really good too though.

Frankly, I’m of the opinion to take whichever QB the GM/HC/OC believe in the most and build around them, whoever that is.

Yeah let’s pair that franchise DE with Burns, we can then lose games 20-10 instead of 24-10.

I liked Corral as well, but there’s a reason he was available where he was. He’s not a comparable prospect to any Stroud/Young. If we are are #1, we will absolutely be taking a QB, Corral will be the last thing on the front offices mind. He can still come in and compete, but there’s not a chance he changes their plans.

Don't speak too soon. The "reason" wasn't football, his arm, his accuracy, his leadership, that all had him invited to the draft green room like all the other top NFL recruits.

He made himself a winner long before he got in ripps radar. He's going to have on year of NFL conditioning and strengthening by the time these new rookies come out.

Where he was picked doesn't change his pedigree. You doubt Golden Corral, I get it.

Don't be surprised if Corral gets a veteran backup and we pick Will Anderson or Myles Murphy.

Tim Couch was the top pick and busted.

Look, I love Corral as a prospect but we don't exactly have the ability to gamble on just one QB when we can just have a top pick and Corral as our QB room.

A QB like Josh Allen or Cam Newton are generally not hurt by guys except the linemen.  Young will be smaller than most CB's and can get hurt by anyone.  He is wildly entertaining at the college level, but no way I would take him in the 1st round, much less the first pick

I don’t think this is true anymore. 10 years ago yeah, but the league has changed enough you just take the best guy. Worked out for Arizona

    • You're not reading.  This isn't about his college performance. It's about his NFL prospects. The Golden Calf of Bristol was one of the greatest college players of all time. That didn't mean he was a great NFL prospect. Hunter is an elite of the elite NFL CB prospect who was a great college WR too based primarily on absurd physical talent and just natural ball skills. Could he be an elite WR if he focused on that? Honestly, probably. But in terms of him being the best WR prospect in this draft? No. His skill set is just way too raw as a WR. He just looks way more natural and instinctual playing CB.
    • Yea...another Brooks move and I yelling. I'll reserve that till I see how many holes he fills in the draft. We all know our needs at this point.
    • AND THERE IT IS Thank you, because you posted this as I was typing up my previous response and you did EXACTLY what I said the Hunter defenders do. You're taking people having very legitimate concerns about how part of his game will translate to the NFL and making it into someone talking bad about him as a college player. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING Go back and read every post I made about him this year, I consistently said he's a true generational collegiate talent, one of the rarest of them all.  But that doesn't mean jack squat when it comes to evaluating what kind of player he'll be in the NFL, or even just what position is best for him. If you want to think differently, that's totally fair, but pointing to things like stats and awards is just making you look like you don't know what you're talking about, because they don't mean anything.  There are so many instances of players putting up elite stats in college but couldn't sniff being even a serviceable NFL player.  Which again, isn't what myself or others are saying about Hunter, but it's just the proof that looking at stats/awards is a fools errand when projecting NFL potential and impact.
