Welp… Stroud is the guy, right?

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.

Every pass in a highlight reel looks good?

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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
