He literally says his size is a concern 

Yeah, but in a more general sense. He also intimated that size is not necessarily the determining factor as to whether or not you draft a guy and/or whether he'll be successful in the league.

I hope this is sarcasm and I just can see it through text....

It is sarcasm. But not all QB prospects have concerns either. Look at Brees and what he did with his size and he took team to SB and won it and same goes for Wilson in a very short period. Both are short but managed to pull it off with little difficulty.

2 things--he said "He checks a lot of boxes", and admitted size is an issue.  Furthermore, he uses  Brees and Russell Wilson as his examples of high performing QBs---

second and a third round picks

He did NOT reference the only 5'10" QB ever taken first overall--K. Murray.  Why not, I wonder?  I think he was not going to make a statement that suggested that he was thinking of Young from the perspective of the first overall pick, he was comparing him to QBs who defied the odds.

Size is a concern, however big, tall, strong QBs also get hurt. I think he has proven that he can be a great QB, what's going to separate him from the others is his football acumen during personal interviews. I saw an interview where Daniel Jeremiah was talking with Pat McAfee and there are reports that Young has the right attitude, football intelligence, and maturation to be a franchise QB.

Young was watching tape on Sundays after their games on Sat and going to coaches and giving them a game plan. His work ethic and drive reminds me of Luke being a film rat and know all of the offenses plays. Luke ended his career because of concussions even being in top physical shape. I would rather have 5-7 years of hall of fame production compared to 10 years of average play.

    • Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.   
    • Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha. 
    • Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
