It's just part of the evaluation process. If he drops because of an S2 score he might land in a better situation and consequently have a better career as a result.

Bingo - and yet 3/4 of our fanbase is strutting around like trading the farm for #1 overall was a work of genius by Fitterer.

The Front Office still hasn't met to discuss which QB they want... yet judging by the talking heads in the media it's a done deal. Crazy.

You're on a fan message board, my dude. Have some self awareness.

That was the style at the time.

See this is my worry about this collaborative approach. The Salary Cap guy (it's Suleiman btw, Joe) shouldn't be chiming in about prospects.

Kuechly is essentially saying what all of the 'haters' are saying - his best bet it to become a mini-Brees. His path to success is dinking and dunking the ball out before pressure gets there. Those highlight plays in College where he scrambles to buy more time are going to get him killed in the NFL.

Agree to disagree.

Maybe take your own advice and stop doing a victory lap until the pick is in.

I wouldn't say he's never carried a team, but I'd imagine he could win a Junior College National Championship at his current age - which is what Newton was doing at this point in his career. Newton was a special player, but he never developed.

It's not a coincidence. He's in his 40s, I bet he doesn't even use Instagram, but the Communications Team told him to find Richardson et al and hit that blue button next to their name so that fans would shut tf up.

Who is he stood next to?

Gibbs is a funny one - he was unbelievable for GT and great for Alabama... except good lord he has no idea about blocking assignments.

That sentence doesn't make sense unless he's saying "You are whining on a message board".

I agree, his size is his only true knock - but it's a hell of a knock. It's like drafting a CB that runs a 5 second 40 yard dash. His speed is always going to be a problem, regardless of how great his bump-and-run technique or zone coverage is.

I think we're the situation all 3 QBs would want to be in - at least in the short term, and hopefully in 2-3 years time they're good enough to influence the situation around them like a franchise QB should. As I've said, I think Richardson is the potential superstar of the group. Young I think will either bust (purely due to his size) or have a middling NFL career and Stroud... there's something about his game I don't like that I can't quite put his finger on, but if you hook him up with a HC / OC that spells it out for him he can get the ball where it needs to go every down (like Goff in Detroit / L.A.).

See, this is the massive concern I have with Young. Brock Purdy scored a 4.55 on the RAS score last year - basically he's a 6', 212lb QB that ran a 4.8 40 yard dash. He was a 4 year starter at Iowa St and had consistently good stats (67% completion percentage, 81 TDs, 33 INTs, 12,000 yards, 151 QB rating). He didn't hit anywhere near the TD heights Young did, he also had nowhere near the surrounding talent. Despite all that (and the super high S2 score) the NFL deemed that he was only worth the last pick in the Draft. Unless Young ran a 4.2 40 yard dash he'd have tanked his RAS score 'cos he's smaller and lighter than Purdy. Apparently this is no longer a concern for the NFL... because, reasons?

*you're I'm 'whining' on a message board because a) I'm British, so good luck getting a foot in the door of an NFL franchise and b) I have a very lucrative career of my own. There's a reason these guys are fired every other year too - besides someone like Ozzie Newsome, they're all flawed. I mean at one point Thomas Dimitroff was considered hot poo (NFL Exec of the year) and now he has a podcast in his mid-50s.

We've no idea what the Cardinals were asking for. Just that it wasn't 'significantly less' than the Bears. It might not have been Moore, but it might have been an extra 2nd round pick. I agree that I don't think Young, Stroud and Richardson are going to pan out - which is why I can't get behind the "I'm happy with any" mentality. You have to evaluate and work out which one / two aren't going to succeed and why. I've nailed my colours to the mast - I think Richardson is the potential superstar of this group.

Good lord, imagine not having a problem with Young's size. As I've repeatedly said, I hope that don't get drawn in by the off-the-field stuff when it's the on-the-field stuff that matters.

The NFL is the All-SEC players (and All-BIG10 / All-ACC etc) for the last 10 years stacked on top of each other. It pops off the screen when Young faces a projected NFL athlete (the LSU game in 2022 in particular is terrifying). He's not going to run away from DLinemen in the NFL. He's going to have to win from the pocket - which I have doubts that that he can do due to his size. I hope you're all ready for a dink and dunk offence if we draft him, because that's how Brees won at his size - and that negated his physical limitations, like Young will have to do.

Stroud's mechanics are way too clean for him to be uncoachable.

I mean if you're box score scouting, Stroud had a better year than Young this year too (you could argue for Clayton Tune too, but I wouldn't do that).

If you're box score scouting you won't like Richardson. If you watch the tape you're blown away by him. He obviously needs work (he's 20 years old), but as said earlier today, he makes incredibly difficult stuff look easy.

I mean they're not fooling anyone - the NFL teams have access to all of these scores.
