He “rarely” finishes in the pocket? You are watching too many highlight clips. He leaves the pocket when he has to in order to keep the play alive similar to Mahomes and Rodgers. I’m not saying he is on par with either of those, but saying he rarely finishes from the pocket let’s me know you didn’t watch many games of his.

https://www.espn.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/37574/height-not-top-concern-for-panthers-in-bryce-young-c-j-stroud-draft-debate?platform=amp This article shows the elaboration and he even mentions how Bryce is good at limiting hits in the pocket.

He elaborated with it’s an unknown because there aren’t many QBs his size. Mentioned smaller players like Marvin Harrison and Barry Sanders who were good at avoiding big hits and staying healthy. I am trying to find the actual video…

Durability I believe he said was clearly a concern.

I mean Young is the most commonly ranked top QB in this draft, but there is no way our staff liked him best without Tepper making them!

There is a direct correlation with people who don’t like the pick and people who are blaming it on Tepper. It’s impossible that this staff and all of their experience likes a QB that a random fan doesn’t like. No way that could ever happen…

I feel Fitt liked Young from the beginning and maybe Reich had several he was high on. It’s not hard to see why Young won them over once they got to know the prospects. He is going to crush any interview and can probably dive into game tape better than any of them. Throw in his actual game tape and he tops out the competition.

2nd drafted or 2nd best?

Makes sense. The Titans already have a mini AR in Willis. If they trade up it’s for the more polished passer IMO. I like your mock though!

Writing off the most popularly rank top QB of this draft would be incredibly foolish. I like Stroud, but am very excited about what Young brings to the table. I keep going back to I prefer Stroud, but passing on Young scares me. I’m ready to get my Young jersey and support our new QB. People completely writing him off are just mad we aren’t getting their favorite player or are just plain haters.

Oh his size is without a doubt concerning. No one is arguing that. I’m saying he will bulk up on the NFL pretty easily and STILL be undersized. Plus he can’t grow any taller. I’m definitely not dismissing his size (remember I have Stroud ranked slightly above him due to size).

Fitt didn’t seem too concerned about adding weight to his frame. At 21 years old he is far from his final weight it frame. I remember CMC looking pretty slender before bulking up his second year as a pro.

“All the guys in this class scored well.” Is an interesting statement to make. Wouldn’t that imply Stroud scored well?

“We have seen, ‘Hey, so-and-so scored the highest in the class, or the highest ever, and so-and-so scored low,’ and it’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s not true,’” Ally continued. “With that being said, this class as a whole—all the guys in the discussion—have scored really, really well.”

Teams are sleeping on Stroud. I’m excited about Young at 1, but Stroud should be the next pick.

Talk to Steve Smith.

I would say his size (main weakness) is why they did such a deep dive in thus QB class. If he had average size it would be a no brainer who they picked.

But everyone understands that. That’s his risk vs reward. Some people on here are having meltdowns over it.

This guy is still in here losing his mind over a draft pick? Sometimes things don’t go your way. Grow up and move on.

He is a good blocker too. I hope our staff can get something out if Tremble as well. I think he has some potential.

I keep forgetting about Shenault! He will be hawking underneath daring someone to leave him one on one. This offense could be fun to watch!

If he stays healthy is a nice combo. Chark has the speed to be the deep threat, Thielen is the possession slot WR with great hands, and Marshall is the big body large catch radius for the jump balls.

Someone start a poll!
