If season ended today which QB would you take.

Obviously you do have to have a good arm but I think it is more along the lines as a mental aspect to be a great QB. Young has the mental aspect. 

Yeah, he definitely does. His frame scares me though.

For the last few years it's been the same thing for me. I want to see us draft a quarterback but every major prospect has something about them that scares me off.

Apparently I have a condition called "draftabustophobia"

Trade out. Get more picks... so we can land players like this:

Wouldn't count on that.

I've seen the "take a super athlete and teach him to be a passer" strategy fail as often as it's succeeded, probably more so to be honest.

I know our buddy Ellis believes in that idea but for me, if they don't have the passing skills already I don't care how athletic they are. I'm not interested.

Stroud is still a great passer. He isn’t the “super athlete” you mold into a passer like Richardson is. He is very accurate and can make all the throws. I don’t consider him some project that has to be reworked or developed that much. I just think Young has played with more adversity and does well with it. Stroud hasn’t encountered that nearly as much.

In all seriousness, I'd probably pick Levis/Richardson knowing that they have the tangibles and we would need to spend all of our resources coaching them up. I'd bring in a staff just for coaching one of these rookies.

Which is funny because usually you'd be saying that about an Alabama quarterback.

The worry people have about overrating Ohio State quarterbacks playing on rosters that easily steamroll their opponents tends to be a valid one though.

The article I posted by TJ McCreight made an interesting point, that he gave higher marks to quarterbacks at lesser schools because they weren't buoyed so much by the talent around them. I've given that some thought since reading it, and there's an argument to be made.

That sad, I'm still iffy on the main subject of that article (Will Levis).

I doubt we stay at in the top 2, but I'll go on record of preferring Young.  Size will be an issue in his first few years as he gets use to the speed of the NFL, but he is really good at ducking out of harm's way, from what I have seen.  His instincts are mahommes-like.

Stroud for me

I LOVE Quentin Johnston, a dream pick for sure. Definitely an option if we find ourselves lower in the draft order or trading back for picks.

A player his size shouldnt be able to move the way he does.

Richardson IF the interviews and whiteboard work checks out. That plays HUGELY into the draft evaluation and is something we're pretty much completely blind to except for word leaking out and those are likely lies.

1. Young and pray he doesn't break in half

2. Stroud 

3. Richardson. If the future staff thinks they can Josh Allen him and mold him, take the risk. If he sucks, we get Maye the next year.

Richardson in the 2nd

Honestly, this is kinda my thought process. Roll the dice on the boom or bust guy and if he busts trade him for whatever we can get like the Cards did with Rosen and move on. At some point you have to start swinging on QBs and keep swinging until you get on base.

I'd prefer Bryce Young. He's small but he's so elusive and heady.
