They have two firsts this year. If they think Young is a franchise QB and Stroud isn't worth taking at 2??? Who knows??

I get that which is what it's not an even swap. If you think both QBs can become great NFL QBs and one comes with another pick or two then it makes sense in my head to listen to that offer. I don't see it happening anyway, but it's not some crazy thought.

You know what that means?!? ...larger gloves.

So they don't even call?? I mean if your potential franchise QB is one pick away from you and you aren't high on the other guys I would think you would at least call. If we fire off an absurd offer or state it's not for sale then that's that.

His hands are still larger than Pickett's.

Then they really should have offered us a trade. Unless they aren't very high on either QB. If I'm sitting at 2 and I love one QB and don't want to draft the other at 2, I would at minimum call the team picking at 1 who is currently stating they haven't decided and asking what it would cost to move up one spot. On a side note I am getting tired of seeing this toe nail fungus ad at the bottom. Well played Igo....

It's going to be a short offseason!

True, but Burrow's OL was a disaster. Hopefully ours will be a top 10 with the talent and Campen.

As of right now it looks like we are leaning towards Young, but still like Stroud. Even when we moved up the pick was still for sale as reported. All I am saying is if Houston falls in love with Young they may come calling just to see what it will take to secure their guy. Say we like 3 QBs, a team could jump to 3 and trade with us for their guy as well, jumping Houston. Now if we like Young a lot more than Stroud then we should just say the pick isn't for sale. I doubt any of these happen, it's just working out that our pick was for sale and we are leaning towards the guy Houston wants at 2.

Right now the reports are saying there are people in Carolina's camp that like both. Say we are 55% Young and 45% Stroud. Pick 33 may be enough to say yeah Stroud plus pick 33 > Young. Maybe Houston thinks pick 33 is worth it to make sure they get the QB they want if they have a lot higher grade on Young than Stroud.

He will piggy back ride on Bozeman for the TD!

It would make sense if we prefer Young, but are sold on both (which is kind of seems like we are). Depending on the compensation it could be worth it for us to take the other guy plus the draft capital.

It's not decided yet. I will be surprised if we announce it ahead of time in case a team like Houston makes us a stupid offer to get their guy.

It extends plays and avoids sacks. One extra second can make a world of difference for a WR getting open.

I'm talking about athletic ability. I think Russ didn't run too much at Wisconsin. What did he have like 200 rushing yards that year? When you have Gibbs ready for the ball to be dumped off you use that over your undersized QB.

I'm just talking about his speed and elusiveness. They obviously aren't going to ask him to run that much with his size. He was dodging some NFL talent these past couple years and made it look easy.

I think Bryce is more athletic than we are giving him credit for. I was watching some of his tape yesterday and he was evading NFL talent DL to make his throws. He is quick and has a pretty quick release. It's like a mini Burrow as Manning said. He will dodge a few players and set his feet for a quick throw in traffic. I don't know how far off his is from Russ in his running/scrambling ability his frame is just way smaller.

I'll make short jokes even if we draft him, but they will be out of love.

I wouldn't be surprised if he played baseball. He would make one hell of a shortstop.

He isn’t the same size as Brees. Brees has 2 inches and like 20 pounds on him. That’s like saying Brees and Mahomes are the same size. I don’t think it’s worth passing on him, but it’s something to consider.

He played baseball? I know he played basketball.

He got obsessed with alts when someone called him out on the Young alts that all joined in March. Pretty much confirms that some of those are him.
