McCown has already been scouting QBs

Takeaways

  • Young's processing and decision making is elite. Composure under pressure and ability to scramble out of it is very encouraging in light of the size concerns
  • Thinks the gap between Young and Stroud is not as wide as advertised. Highest floor of the top QBs
  • Levis has an elite cannon that keeps defenses honest. Reads well but questionable decision making.

Thank you for that summary

In a perfect world, the Bears stay put, HOU takes Young/Levis, and we trade with AZ to land Stroud. 

But...I just don't see the Bears staying put.   They don't have pick 32 (Claypool) and there's so many needs on defense and on offense around Fields.  I also don't see some huge tier difference between Anderson/Carter and the other DLs.  

If we want our guy, we almost HAVE to trade with Chicago to land him given their likelihood of moving down. 

The big wildcard I don't see mentioned much is the Raiders at 7.  If they don't land Rodgers, which is plausible, I don't see them wanting one of these FAs after enduring Carr for a decade.  

So let's say the Raiders trade to 1, the draft goes Stroud/Young 1/2, then what?  I'm definitely not trading with AZ for Levis or AR. 

This is going to be a really fun season of chess with who actually likes who QB wise.

This was my biggest take away from the Levis video. He was all giddy about Stroud and Young but for Levis all he could do was describe his physique.  

That is really what you hear from scouts about him. Great physical skills. Second best in this class behind Richardson. But.....the tape doesn't match that.

I just wonder how much can be fixed with good coaching.

That's something I'd like to see.....from a distance....on another team.

And he's older than the vast majority of draft prospects. I'd feel differently about him if he was a redshirt sophomore but this guy shouldn't be so raw at this stage.

If Stroud is seen to be on the level of Burrow by Mccown, then you have to go get him. 
 

Agreed. I'd take Young without any hesitation. I'd be ok with and would even be excited about him depending on who was coaching him. 

But I think Stroud is who I'm really hoping for. No one has me as excited as Cam did coming out of college, but that GA game is having the same kind of solidifying effect on me that Cam's Iron Bowl game did.

Mccowns video has really pushed me towards Stroud even more.

    • I am not wanting to be too judgemental of Morgan over his first draft given the circumstances.  People don’t like my rationale but you know, I don’t so much like theirs either.  I was adamantly against drafting Bryce and very resentful over the extreme (imo) measures taken to prop him up. I feel like Dan got caught in that trap with demands or conditions placed on him to help out the QB and the new Offensive minded head coach.  And my biased opinion is that it was still all Bryce centric. Micro managed and solely focused on making him a viable player after his first disastrous season. Mandated to help the offense in that draft.  I feel like my speculation is reasonable given the climate and situation, and it includes the reasons we didn’t take a C, the reasons we overdrafted a RB and that particular WR. It was totally need based. Perceived needs. All to maximize Bryce.    And if it were me, and I wanted the GM slot of my team that I came up with, I would be willing to accede to the agenda that I feel was in place. The goals he had to meet.  It is pretty simple, just put Bryce’s needs at the center of everything that was done and work your way through it.  I have no idea or inside info, and people have mocked my opinion for it but that is what it is, it still makes sense to me. 
    • We can’t lose this guy he is the brains behind the operation 
    • If Buffalo chokes in the WC I could see them firing McDermott and going after him
