CJ Stroud

Overthinking it. And I'm not a fan of drafting non-SEC qbs but Stroud is the guy to me...(at this moment).. Besides skill, accuracy, Whoever ends up coaching is going to fall in love with his leadership ability.. 

Furthermore... with the first 4 picks we could solidify our entire Offense. AND I gotta say as a side note this the perfect draft to need a playmaker.  

Assuming we got that #1 pick...Realistically w/ luck we could leave the draft with Stroud/Young @ QB, Jahmyr Gibbs/Evans @ RB, Demus Jr/Addison @ WR and Jaheim Bell @ TE. Spend the rest of draft on defense.

Free Agency focus should be on Edge, Middle Linebacker and db depth. We could bargain bin and find the right guys...i.e Luvu. 

We NEED playmakers on offense and tone setters on Defense..... but then again ...I'm not in the FO.. just my 2 cents. The board would probably have a melt down though if the day 1-2 draft was strictly offense. 

I've seen enough batted balls this season. But who the hell knows, Cam led that statistic the beginning of his MVP year. And while Baker was leading the catergory, Josh Allen was only a couple away from taking that designation.

Fields was a legit top 10 prospect. Not all prospects pan out and Chicago has proven to be one of the worst landing spots for a QB 

...yea...hes been the best out of OSU over the last 25 yrs but CLT isn't a great landing spot either.. Andrew Luck knew that or well his father did...but Stroud does not have the 'it' factor at all...

Lots can happen between now the draft. Everyone thinks it’s a two QB race at the top with Stroud slightly ahead, but if the Panthers think the dude from Kentucky is the best don’t be shocked if he’s the one. No one would have suspected Trey Lance would have gone so high at this point in the 2020 college season.

Absolutely agree, I don’t think either of them can be used as an example of a top defense.

I agree that we need a backup, but you don't draft a backup with the first choice of the draft.  

Well obviously you don’t draft him #1 with the idea of him being the backup. Reality is, Corral likely won’t get a real shot. It’ll be a competition that the #1 pick will win whether that is because of talent or draft position.

I didnt watch one play of stroud, saw his stat line, 4 tds 66% with 1 int and a 80 yard bomb against a top 10 defense.  Clicks on the huddle and their are posters saying he is a bust and is terrible.  Hmmm, huddle going huddle I guess

It's not always about stats. If it was, Mac Jones would've been hands down the #1 overall pick. I think Stroud is a much better prospect than Jones was (I thought Jones was a 3rd round type prospect) but I'm not convinced he's the slam dunk QB1 in this draft. Like I said earlier, Fields honestly looked better at OSU. Still waiting on Stroud to have that signature dominating performance against a top defense like Fields can Clemson. Notre Dame has a very good defense and they made Stroud look pedestrian. He didn't look bad against them but he didn't look like a guy I'm begging to draft at the top of the 1st either.

That game when Fields got knocked around and was Byron Leftwiching his team to the W was one of the top performances of the past decade. He was my QB2 that year and am sad to see how he's fared thus far in the NFL.

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
