It's a fair question. Ultimately some team will be willing to roll those dice and will take him towards the top, if not at the top of the draft. 

I think where we differ on opinion is maybe more where that draft position should be. I don't think it's wise to take someone that may ultimately be very disadvantaged by size limitations at the next level at such a premium spot in the draft. I tend to think that historically that opinion holds water, but every year there are sure-fire prospects that can't miss, and bust, as well as later round gems that make it. I'm glad I don't have to take on that burden of risk myself.

True enough…thanks brother

We have to take our shot at QB…damn I hope we hit

I guess my thing is this. Young’s size can be seen as a negative or weakness towards his draft stock. Stroud having WRs that are insanely good can’t really be a negative. If anything it’s a question unanswered as how he can do with a subpar cast, but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking Young has no support at Alabama.

What's the most realistic to expect?:

Young turns out to be a baller and is an exception to the rule

vs.

Stroud shuts down an omen about a QB-School combo that hasn't had luck

vs.

Levis elevates his late game intangibles and decision making under pressure

--

Those are my three questions and I can't quite figure it out yet.  They're all awesome prospects in their own rights.

I thought he was 6 ft

McShay then went into the negatives on Young and they were completely based on his size.

“But the knock on him, especially talking to scouts who have been there this summer, is the size. He’s 5-10, when he’s listed at 6-foot-1, and a scout just told me the other day he weighed in at 186 pounds.”

For now I’m on the CJ Stroud bandwagon. I’ve watched a bunch of videos and he looks way better than Fields or any of the OSU QBs that people hold against him. He reads the field (Fields and the others didn’t), makes good decisions, has a helluva arm, slippery in the pocket while not a running QB, looks like the one that will finally break the curse of the OSU QBs as long as he goes to a team and system that doesn’t break him like the Jets tend to (jury’s out on ZW but he’s looking solid so far) and Rhule would have.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
