Young is going to be great,  I really don’t understand how people can’t see what this guy is.  He is a superstar.  Any team that passes on him will regret it

5’10 180ish pounds just screams superstar

His playing weight in the NFL is very concerning for me. I think he can get to 205 by the combine but that means he’s likely down to around 180 again as his playing weight for the NFL games. If he can’t bulk up he’s going to get hurt.

If Young was 6'2" he'd be a Trevor Lawrence, Andrew Luck tier prospect.

And if he bulks up too much, it might impact his agility.  Agility he might need given that in the NFL, the talent level is a lot more equal than it was at Alabama.

...and the Bears would take him and trade Fields.

If that doesn't happen they can get AR in the draft.

I seriously doubt falcons would take AR.

But he's not, so he's not.

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

Where do we find one?

From listening to Frank over the past few weeks he clearly indicated that they are not going to go with the old qb stereotypes.  He's looking to evolve the offense to meet the current direction the league is going. Luckily for us there are a lot of prospects in the draft that can accelerate that transition.  But they've got to be smart and accurate as well as a high character guy.  I think I would start there and figure our odds of getting that person or persons.

That was 20 years ago.

 

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!

10 years ago probably the highest rated QB would be Tanner McKee from Stanford. Now you have to be very mobile, which was actually one of the knocks against Stroud until the GA game. It wasn't that he wasn't mobile, it's that he didn't run much.

You have to be a guy that makes stuff happen one way or another. you have to be dynamic and you have to be someone who can not just get their team motivated but the fans charged up as well.

pretty much Cam Newton is the template for the modern day QB. You can win with your arm or win with your legs. you just get the job done. this has proven to be what works best in the league now. this is what puts you in a position to win championships.

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.
