I found it interesting that Ryan Leaf had Stroud and Young as first rounders with Richardson and Levis as toolsy second rounders that you're doing no favours to if you draft them in the first.

You'd have to pay me a lot to leave the Bengals tbh. I'd want one of the best QBs in the league throwing me the ball if I was a skill position player.

I don't know about our cap, but it would do wonders for my mental health.

He goes on there every Tuesday during the regular season.

Why is it weird? He was too small / weak to play as a G. As a C that double teamed the DT though I thought he was good.

PJ Walker is terrible, he can't be here next year.

There's no farm left to trade I'm afraid.

You're hoping. JT even says he doesn't see Stroud demonstrating the playmaking ability you look for. He's shown he can do it, but it doesn't come naturally to him like it does Young.

You can't make them do it.

Again, he's dropped the AR15 nickname.

If you want to know how bad this WR market is - not a single one has signed in FA on day 1 with all these mammoth deals flying around.

He definitely will have been consulted for a character reference.

He's an Orange County boy, no?

Having read all their fans wishing us an awful season next year I'm fully on board with my 'fug the Bears' stance.

They're not intentionally tanking, they just have nothing at QB. We've put ourselves in the same situation, whilst also floating rumours that we'd happily trade Corral.

He's Irish, not Scottish.

Now we've got the worst WR room in the NFL.

Too late - you need to get on it at 11 like Messi did.

How do you know he doesn't have elite level processing? Everything I've seen / read suggests he's been developing his processing at the rate you'd expect a first year starter to do, looking much better as the season went on. Who does have elite processing in this Draft? Are you sure Stroud isn't simply a product of a system? Does Young not leave throws on the field? With regards to talent, Richardson is the tallest, heaviest, fastest QB with the best arm (in terms of how strength, if not accuracy) of the leading QB group.

If the season started tomorrow, sure, but what about who's better 5 years from now?

I don't think anyone can bitch about whoever we take considering 95% of you have lauded the trade up to get 'their' guy.

I mean Burrow was a couple of years older, so take that with a grain of salt, but his stats blew Stroud's out of the water. 5,671 yards, 60 TDs, 6 INTs. vs 3,688 yards, 41 TDs, 6 INTs.

No more trading away picks, please.

If Young checked in at 6' at the Combine he'd be the #1 overall pick without question. Unfortunately for Bryce, he didn't.

I think the pick will be Stroud because even though they've rolled the dice on #1 overall they'll now get conservative. He's the 'safest' pick in terms of he checks all the height / weight / arm talent boxes. The Goff comparisons are fair - if you put him in the right system with simple reads you know he's got the accuracy / arm strength to get the ball where it needs to go. It's whether he can mentally develop from there. Personally I'd continue to roll the dice and go Richardson. Make that QB whisperer earn his coin with the most talented QB in the Draft.
