My personal opinion is to take Bryce Young or CJ Stroud at 8 IF they are available. If they are not, trade back or pick up a position of need and look for a qb in the second round. I don't see that much difference between Richardson/Levis vs. Hendon Hooker. 

I do. Richardson and Levis have a lot more physical talent than Hooker. I'm not big on Levis due to age. If you're drafting a guy primarily on upside and raw talent, he better not be the age of a typical 2nd or 3rd year NFL player. That's why I greatly prefer Richardson

We got to see all three in the SEC East this year. Hooker had more talent around him, but his stats against similar competition were much better than Levis and a ton better than Richardson. All three of these players should go in the second round but won't. I hope we don't reach with our first pick.

Stats aren't the same thing as talent. Hooker was considered a 2nd or 3rd rounder before his injury. He's probably a 4th or 5th after.

Hooker has a good arm but not great arm and had great running ability. Now the TN scheme made him look like a god. I watched the same guy at VT and he couldn't do a dang thing in the passing game. Maybe he figured it out, or maybe they schemed it so it was easy for him. I'm leaning to the scheme. But physical talent, the guy has it.

Yes, build the o line

And we’ve have terrific olines in the past. Cinci has a dog poo oline and Burrow is going to carry them to the playoffs. Got them to a Super Bowl without an oline. We need a young stud throwing the ball.

We actually have an o line. We need a QB and have since Cam got injured from Watt.

Need a top oline which better facilitates the qb situation ...even with Cam we suffered inconsistency for many yrs. No Cams in sight, but oline upgrade is.

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
