It’s simple, if Fitt is GM and he’s available, Bryce Young will be the guy.

Young is currently rated as the # 2 college QB in the 2023 draft but I could easy see slip back after the NFL Combine . I could change my mind but presently I am not a big Young fan.

when he measures at 5'10 and 180ish lbs with a slow 40 time I could see him dropping like a rock

He’s still my No 1 QB in the draft

I agree, I was thinking about it today and I think everyone is overthinking this, I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m a Bryce Young fan, (I don’t dislike him either) but sometimes the best answer is the simplest one, all last year we heard how Bryce Young was going to be hands down QB1 this draft class and nothing has really changed since then. 

it always seems like every year there is a consensus no 1 pick at QB, then suddenly some wild card, dark house QB appears out of nowhere to challenge that. Best example was RGIII When Luck was the consensus no 1 and how some were saying at the time RG3 should be in the discussion at no 1.

TLDR, stop overthinking and just take the consensus no 1 guy this whole time and keep it simple 

I get it, but sometimes the consensus #1 is a guy like Sam Bradford.

Then how does fitt explain trading up for Corral?

How does Fitt explain trading for Sam Darnold? How does Fitt explain trading for Baker Mayfield?

If there is one GM in the entire league who wouldn’t buy into the whole “shorter QBs are risky and can’t be NFL QBs” Narrative, it’s Fitt, who was with Seattle during the Russell Wilson glory days and likely had a hand in drafting him. 
 

Knowing that Fitt is building this team like that Seahawks team was built.. (invest heavily in the secondary with a stout run game and multi dimensional QB)

Then he will have no hesitation at all to pull the trigger on Young who shares extremely similar skill set, play styles and size to Russell Wilson. 
 

We have the O line to protect Young to greatly lower his risk of injury and you have to imagine Fitt is itching to draft his next Russell Wilson. 

Russ has 30-40 lbs and an inch or two on Bryce Young. That's a big difference.

[onmyown]

personally I’d rather take a chance teaching a guy like stroud certain things to change than bet on young overcoming and constantly coping with things will never change

with that said I wouldn’t be mad either way, ultimately it will come down to desire and FO ability to set them up for success and there is a lot to be said for ethic/desire to become good. Brees Wilson Murray all have it and were small.

we are doomed anyways with dumbass Tepper calling the shots.

Drafting Sam Bradford was good process can’t predict injuries. He wasn’t injury plagued in college

Russell is bigger, especially weight wise.

Young might be closer to Donte Jackson in size than Russell Wilson.

It's possible.

I've said before though that I'm always a little nervous at the idea of taking "the next" whoever.

It’s worked for the Bills so far, Allen was basically “the next” Cam
