Playing it safe on relatively cheap investments at QB is working so well.

There are a lot of question marks with Stroud.  It would be different if he was a for sure prospect.  I'm fine with giving up a couple seconds or something but I dont like giving up next year's first when we very well could be a bad team next year even with Stroud.

If he was a "sure thing" then he'd be going #1 overall and there wouldn't be any discussion.

Oh Brugler had some minor notes about the Gibbs pick in Rd 2:

 

Heckuva player but I’m still not sold on that pick.

Need more explosive pass catchers in that area

As far as RB,  I’m still taking one in. Rd3-4

We all like what Foreman did and want him back.  But he was a big Wilks guy, and fit his power run scheme/identity.

New Coach, new system.  He may look elsewhere.

I'm a fan of the RBs projected in RD 3-5. 

Nothing against Chubba, and we'll need to see if we re-sign Foreman, but added RBs are always welcome in those mid rounds.  

One of my personal favorites to fit with those two in our backfield is Tyjae Spears.  Tulane had an awesome year mainly due to him and Michael Pratt.  His vision and quick cuts to find holes are awesome.  He capped off a sensational year dominating USC, big part of why they won.  

He's like Pollard meets Herbert.  Tackle breaker, quick accelerator, quick cuts, pass catcher, home run hitter.

Ehhhhhh, IDK about that.  Kyler Murray went number 1 and hes smaller than Young.  Baker went 1 and hes not a big guy either.  

Kyler Murray is shorter than young, but he is bigger than young. Young is naturally a smallish guy. Baker is bigger than young also. All you have to do is look at these guys, and you will see that Young is smaller. 

That being said, someone may overlook that, and I don't believe we will have that opportunity.

I'm leaning to staying at 9 and picking BPA, if Stroud is there, that's great, if its Richardson, great, but we also need a dynamic WR and LB so I wouldn't be mad if an elite one were there

Richardson is a straight-up project. I don't see us passing up another day-one starter to draft AR.

FWIW I would much rather spend picks on a highly rated rookie than on reclaimation projects 

I have a hard time viewing Lance and especially Fields as classic reclamation projects if that's where you're going. Fields is still a budding star, and Lance hasn't even been able to show what he has (two games and a fraction aren't anywhere near enough). The fact is that it's arguable that both, particularly Fields, are more talented than any prospect in this draft. There are no sure bets coming out of this draft. Just drafting a QB in the first round because he's a first rounder is not a recipe for success, regardless of how much Huddlers opine to the contrary.
