So who is better, Stroud or Young?

Hooker? 

I'll hypothetically take DE/MLB in the 1st and Hooker in round 2. I have no clue if there are any solid LB's or DE's in this class but that's my need based preference. If we pick #1 you might have to take Stroud or trade back if you don't love him, he was on a bye this week so didn't really get a media bump this week

I’m not advocating that route but if you do it’s Will Anderson Jr from Bama and don’t look back.

I agree. Outside of QB. We are missing a real MLB, DE and TE. We were spoiled all those years with Walls and Olsen. I would take Jeff King over these current TEs. 
 

We never had a real MLB either under this regime. Beason, Morgan, Kuechly, etc, are miles away from Whitehead and this rotation of Wilson/Littleton. 
 

We have Burns at DE but he is more of a pass rusher, we don’t have that run stopping DE like in years past. YGM is shaping out to be a bust.

Young was really impressive against Tennessee. He took some major licks and stuck with it. The size no doubt is a concern but he consistently looks like a stud. I just get a good sense with Young, as alarming as his frame is. A team will gamble on him, his throwing ability is just too impressive.

I have to admit, I don’t see many flaws with Stroud at all. He’s not what Fields was (saying this in a good way). The only thing that makes people iffy on him is the helmet he wears. If he was the Bulldogs or Tide QB, I think the decision would be easy. 

Levis is a classic case of hitting all the measurables but every time I tune in I’m waiting to see what the buzz is about. But still, he’s got a lot to love.

I’d have taken all three  in the top 10 last season.

Penix, Duggan, Hooker, Hall, Ward, etc. have more season to make their cases.  I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t viewing most of them higher than the Ridder/Willis/Corral group. Still though, they aren’t close to the top 3, and it’s really even IMO

Young, imo. 
 

I don’t understand why everyone is nervous to take a smaller QB when the league is close to making them wear a no-contact jersey on the field. Sure, he’ll take a few hits but he can hold up with today’s rules. 
 

No draft eligible QB this year has a better understanding of how to play the position than Young. And when things break down, his improvisation is elite. 
 

We’ve watched…

Teddy - good understanding of the game but risk averse and average athleticism/arm talent. 
 

Cam - the recent version is past prime and weak on arm strength and accuracy. 
 

Darnold - below average feel for the game. The type that looks good in drills but it’s too mechanical to translate to games. 
 

Baker - seeing ghosts and happy feet

 

Young is a great solution at QB after what we’ve watched the last few years. An elite football-IQ quarterback with good athleticism/arm talent. His ceiling is as close to Mahomes as there has been since KC drafted him.

Jim Harbaugh has a proven track record of turning disfunctional NFL franchises into winners. He's working with the next generation of players coming into the NFL soon. He killed it at Stanford with Luck, he dragged those ungrateful sissy boy 49ers to the Superbowl with a one read QB he built an offense for who looks like garbage without him now. Former Carolina Panther. Enough said.

 

I'm all in on the Harbaugh train. I hated the guy with a passion when he was with the Niners but man the dude can coach and we need to get back to winning. Harbaugh with a franchise QB in the NFL would win multiple Super Bowls, I honestly believe that. Still would be tough to get a franchise QB but given time I think he could find himself a prospect he likes like Mahomes with Reid.

it is a testament to how stupid the average fan is that they want will Levis over Bryce young because of their height weight listing on espn.com

guys don’t just come around who are as good at playing the position as young is while still having so much physical talent

What is Young's physical talent?  It is smart and great at reading defenses.  I don't see anything physically jumping off the charts?

    • He played like the kid coming out of Alabama. That's what he has done and what everyone expected him to do from the jump. What almost everyone failed to consider was what it would take to get him to play like that in the nfl. Turns out it was just a matter of confidence. 
    • This is actually a good discussion that dime to Legette was about 35 yards very accurate but not the TD throw to AT, but I definitely found Bryce hitting passes extremely similar to Andy I didn’t think Bryce could a couple weeks ago but that’s just not true he can. 32 sec mark he drops a dime 40 yards down the field where only Cooker can catch it with plenty zip with elite accuracy, I’d say the exact same dime Andy threw just diff part of the field. Bryce is showing he can make every throw Andy can make.  And your question is way to specific to find examples but I can find you very similar plays and If my boy Legette catches the dam ball Bryce might be able to have a deep TD pass that traveled about 30+ yards in the air we just need him to catch the ball and take off up the field but that’s not my argument I’m here to show Bryce throwing similar darts to Andy in his first year of being in a competent offense. TMJ and DJ Chark Mingo Ian Thomas lol and others as your go to weapons I’d say can have a major negative affect on your performances. But to address the argument here Bryce has film doing what Andy can do here’s the proof. (See video above)
    • I agree with all of that and Fitterer definitely sucked.  Some of that may also be blamed on the fact that he did not start with a fresh regime to come in.  So he had already burned some of his wick when we were starting over with a new coach (twice). The reality is that we do not often see players traded for that kind of package in the NFL today.  We don't see teams selling off star players for large hauls to start a re-build.  Whether or not that is the correct decision is up for debate.  But in the NFL it's observable that the opposite is mostly the case.  Teams tend to over value present assets vs future assets. It all goes back to the fact that "now" is all that matters if you're running an NFL team.  They say the NFL stands for "not for long".  You don't have the luxury to sow a field that won't be harvested until after you're gone.  Nobody's that selfless in NFL front offices.
