Joe Person: Sense around the league is they’re going up for CJ Stroud

[LinvilleGorge]

What we need to do is figure out our QB rankings while we also sniff around and figure out who the Texans prefer. If their #1 is our #2, front like hell that we're taking their guy and try to get them to swap picks with us. If our #1 is also their #1, just take #1.

Why would that concern you? Young is the better qb as of right now 

Not even close. CJ is far and away the best QB prospect in the draft. His accuracy and touch are unparalleled.  Watch highlights of Ohio State and Utah in the Rose Bowl and you'll see that CJ was making amazing throws.  CJ will be the pick and he's going to have an immediate impact.

Kinda the premise of what I posted in the other thread...

No offense but your screen name makes me think you might not necessarily be 100% objective

How else would you game plan against that Georgia D? Bryce's game in 2021 was called pretty similar, both guys made plays when they were given the opportunity. It really is gonna be splitting hairs between the two of them in my opinion. Bryce had to do more this past year with a weaker roster. CJ coasted against mediocre teams, but also had tougher weather games with crazy wind, all that has to go into consideration for both guys

The gameplan was perfect. It mostly worked. I just don’t see the things Stroud does that makes him the 4/1 favorite amongst our fanbase in terms of number one selection. I guess size is the factor for a lot of people but Young has franchise potentials. Is it out of the realm of possibility that Stroud is just in that “almost a franchise guy but won’t quite get there” tier?

Makes a lot of sense. We'd be the team to trade up for a QB who would have much worse receivers in the NFL.

Bryce would far and away be my No. 1 if the NFL had a height rule stipulating that linemen could only be so tall.

Do u think linemen in the NFL r taller than in the SEC?

College kids r 18 to 23 yrs old. Their height in college is the same height 99% of them will be in the NFL. How many ppl grow in height after age 18 to 23? Probably less than 1% if that.

Bryce won a Heisman yr 1 & was spectacular yr 2 playing against linemen already as tall as they would ever be. I say lack of height talk is overrated.

That is exactly who I think CJ will be. GOFF, COUSINS, CARR…

talented guys but need a lot around them to be top 10. U end up having to pay them a sec contract but if u r a serious org in need to be perennial winner, u try to trade them yr 5 or 6 for a franchise QB.

Bryce on the other side has franchise QB trait who can work with less has this year showed. 
 

if u take CJ vs GA game away, u can’t possibly look at their body of work & think CJ is better.

That's going to be the real oversight here, Lovie Smith basically got us the #1 pick

Turns out Chicago is in love with him again too.

Lol fields looked good against clemson. This is just dollar general fields but stroud in the clearance section. Needs to be bryce. This move ultimately determines if we run tepper out of here in 3-4 years. If the panthers turn into the hornets, poo im out

ITS SIMPLY BIG TEN VERSUS SEC. WHO ALWAYS WINS?

[Jon Snow]

Is it the same sense that predicted the Panthers were going after Jimmy G and David Carr? 

[OldhamA]

I'd go Richardson.

You've already rolled the dice with this trade, no point in playing it safe now. Go for the highest upside player.
