A and B have the most glowing reviews of those reports. 

I  think I understand your plight and may be wrong but if you’re trying to get someone to have some epiphany and decide they all of a sudden like Young when the only reason they didn’t like him was his size, I don’t think you’re  changing anyone’s mind.

I personally like Stroud and Young and am happy as hell one of them will likely be our QB and to know they were the coaching staffs first choice not just the best of what was left, makes it even better.

My biggest knock on Young isn’t his size but rather all the throws I see behind or shortly beyond the line of scrimmage. I’d like to have seen him go downfield more often. However that just seems to be him playing the game the way his coaches wanted him to.

The biggest concern I have about Stroud is what I’m not smart enough to know/ have the privilege of knowing. Can he read a defense and accurately make adjustments, and do all the things required at the NFL level  that isn’t required of him now.

Lastly, both there’s kids are only 21 Years old. They will play more football in the NFL than they’ve played in totality of their life so far. There’s so many intangibles that could change the course of these kids paths and we don’t have the first clue or access on how to get a read on that. 

I trust the front office/coaching staff as long as they don’t Levis.

Nah, it's not about changing anyone's mind. That's impossible these days. I admit to being curious what people would say with just a little information vs complete profiles.

And what if I had told you that was Stetson Bennett or Holton Ahlers before the spoilsports entered the thread?

I would have dug deep in the meme folder to find the right favor..... pepe would have likely been the choice. I need to get my ahlers memeing game better, its severely lacking.

Never slack on the Ahlers memes! Sadly, the site didn't have a complete Ahlers profile.

A.  It's obvious who these profiles are for, by now everyone has seen countless youtubes on all the prospects and knows their strengths and weaknesses by now.  

The reason I like Stroud more than Young is more than just size.  He has a better arm, better accuracy, can throw different velocities for different situations,  makes quick reads, perfect mechanics, and really good mobility within the pocket. I feel like it's more important to be able to navigate the pocket than to be able to roll out and make things happen, where you are limited to half the field. Russell Wilson would piss me off when he'd make these lucky ass throws, but Brady would piss me off more cause he could navigate the pocket and hit his recievers so quickly.

I mean I can appreciate the effort but what we are even doing here taking out a key aspect of the evaluation process and ultimately the final decision? If you're taking size out of the equation for one prospect why stop there why not take something out to favor others as well? With that logic we could possibly talk ourselves into Richardson and maybe even Levis. Let's just agree we all wish it were late April already.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
