- In my models, Stroud has the highest floor of any QB in Year 1. Why? He has the sturdiest base, per computer vision. This means that his ability to throw, even when his platform isn’t ideal (like when he’s under pressure), forecasts to result in the fewest turnover-worthy plays. If Carolina is able to acquire another above-average or better WR (DeAndre Hopkins, maybe??) to pair with Stroud, Frank Reich would have an offense with a top-15 ceiling - Young’s Alabama film rates him the best college QB in this class, per computer vision. There is some extra volatility in projecting him to the next level, though. When his feet are set and he’s on platform, he ranks in the top 15 percent of my 10-season sample -and he can get his feet set under duress. However, he had one of the longest times to throw while not under pressure last season (3.02 seconds, per PFF, ranking T-153rd). When you look into why, you’ll see he dropped back farther on average than the rest of the top passers in this class. Looking at QB comps from past drafts, passers who consistently had deep dropbacks have not fared well at the pro level unless their O-line -- specifically the tackles -- are able to hold off pressure well and recover when a rusher has a great second (or third) effort. https://www.nfl.com/news/cynthia-frelund-2023-nfl-mock-draft-2-0-packers-select-wr-jaxon-smith-njigba-fal

White helmets would look very nice

haha that’s great

well said

CJ Stroud is Alex Smith Bryce Young has a chance to be Drew Brees or with his small frame Vita Vea could land on him and take him out for half the season big risk

Another ILB alongside Shaq is not seen as a big need at the moment. We can play Chinn, move Frankie Luvu from EDGE or use Brandon Smith at that position. EDGE opposite Burns is now a bigger need.

Only player contract missing is Eddy Pineiros

Chris Simms has Stroud#1 so does Bucky Brooks while PFF have Young # 1, so does Lance Zeirlein, Todd McSay, Daniel Jeremiah I dunno who to believe

finally, confirmation
