Welp… Stroud is the guy, right?

His arm and throwing motion is smooth.  He throws some damn darts.  Seems to have good footwork

Are we really sure none of the other bottom feeder teams will be able to out suck us for the top pick? I mean I realize firing your head coach and trading away your only offensive weapon are strong opening moves in that direction, but I wouldn't count the Lions out just yet. They have tons of experience at being awful. Who are the teams we might screw up and beat with a few key plays breaking our way?

There are some other really bad teams out there for sure, but we currently rank as the worst in the league and that’s before we started shipping off starters including our best player. I think we see Shaq go if someone calls for him as well. I just think we got the head start on tanking over the rest of the league and I find it unlikely we don’t finish with the worst record this season

Watching Stroud's highlights, and he really has me questioning my adamant position of "No OSU QBs ever, for any reason." One thing you can't argue is his placement is perfect, and you can't teach that. Every pass hits his receivers in the hands, in stride, where only they can catch it. I'm just sitting here with my jaw on the floor. Those two passes on the sideline...I've never seen anything like it at the college level. 0% margin for error and he nails them.

Yeah I will admit I don’t typically buy into the rule of not drafting players from certain position in certain programs narrative but it does usually warrant some consideration. But I don’t feel that for Stroud at all. Bryce Young is intriguing, Levis etc but Stroud to me is just the clear #1 QB. He’s arm and his pocket awareness are pretty advanced for the collegiate level and I like that he doesn’t rely on his legs when his first and second option isn’t available. He can move but it bodes well imo that he still waits fir his receivers to get open and trusts his arm.

While I love Bryce Young and would be very happy to have him, I think Young's size brings more Questions than the Logo on Stroud's helmet.  Stroud is the complete package and i'd bet a lot of money he goes first overall.

I think this year's qb class is overrated. Stroud = Justin Fields; Bryce Young = Kyler Murray; Will Levis = Sam Darnold.  We will certainly pick one of those three. Hope we give Corral a fair chance to beat them out.

Is it just me, or does that denim jeans guy ... I mean Levis have a very slow release. He'll get smashed in the NFL. Stroud looks to have a much quicker release. Yes please.

He's known for his quick release

Really? It looks slow as hell in that highlight video.

It looks good to me, I dunno. It's a fairly effortless wrist flick. It's just not as compact or as quick as Corral's.

Maybe it's just the long motion. Corral and Stroud seem to just flick it mid-rotation. Levis has a long follow through? Maybe that's what I see.

Exactly. Justin Fields dropped some dimes in the championship game before becoming a bust in Chicago. Right now I am thinking Kenny Pickett might be the best qb prospect of the last two drafts. It sure isn't Lance, Fields, Wilson, or Jones.
