If Young was 6’2 and like 220 maybe. It’s not his height that concerns me. It’s his playing weight being like Pat White where average NFL hits have a much larger impact on you because even the smaller guys have like 20 pounds on him. Dline folks that get their hands on him are going to injure him. 

It’s like people don’t remember when 200 lbs Taylor Hienicke couldn’t make it 2 quarters before breaking his arm via a sack from Grady Jarret.

Weight AND bone structure matter.

Thats a good deal for me, most times have shown Im right and even in recent times as well...... When the guy you are drafting instantly becomes either the fastest guy in the league or 2nd, the top 1% of 1% athletically, and has top 10 arm strength.   Dam shame about the dog deal and his laziness about learning/watching tape. But coming out of college he a 100% hacked version of a madden QB, in fact he was banned(then nerfed) too. He only lost one college game as well......He was incredible in college and i still say hes in the next level of "cannt miss" QBs.

ancient history says

it's a new era. the game has changed. you have to have a top QB or you will be left behind.

Lol...nope  its just because no one builds a defense like that.The mindset has changed  but the principles will always work, if you work them.

It's 2023 my friend. Also you realize that Ravens defense was arguably the best defense in NFL history?

 

Defense was so great it has a 30 for 30 about them. Sheesh!

Yes I realize that..too bad they couldnt win in this era.

Won't work well enough. The game has changed. It favors the offense. You try to build a defense like that and roll with a mediocre QB and you're going to get rolled more often than not. 

That Ravens team and season was an anomaly. We rarely see a defense dominate with mediocre QB play because it just doesn't work except in rare circumstances.

Defense doesn't win championships anymore.

I think the Eagles would beg to differ with you. Had their defense shown up they win. A complimentary offense and defense wins championships. You have to score a lot of points sure but you better be able to prevent the other team from doing the same thing.  Your offense cannot consistently keep putting the defense in bad situations either.

The Chiefs won this Superbowl because of a defensive TD. Mahomes only had 180 some odds passing.

Rams win the year before in a low scoring game via defense

Because there arent any  defenses like that.The mindset and focus has changed, not the principles.The point isnt a mediocre qb, its the desperation and squandering whole team building on a Qb.You can have a great Qb and a great defense and a great oline at the same time if you do things with logic and patience.logic and patience isnt throwing away picks overcand over to hut on a qb.This is especially true in certain weak drafts and this draft is one if those.

Tampa won because they held KC to 9 points.

You know the Bears have been waiting to get back at us for that Greg Olsen trade. If we want their pick they're gonna ask for everything short of the fountain of youth and some magic beans

I'd love a middle of the road starting NFL QB.

Where do we find one?

At their house watching the Super Bowl.
