Spinning the football like it's a basketball? Point guard skill!

Can run the RPO? Frank wants a QB that can do that too.

Height and mass? 6'4 244lbs!

He doesn't even care about that completion %!  Do it Reich!

"He's an exciting player. Even before the combine watching his tape, there are plays and throws all over the tape that scream top pick. That's a credit to him. I think he has upper-body mechanics that are really solid. Obviously, his completion percentage is lower than you want at this level, but I don't get too discouraged at things like that."

Reich should not be picking the QB after basically forcing the Colts to trade a first round pick for Wentz. The guy can scheme and coach a QB, but he cannot scout one. There are better people in the FO for that.

Smith was special 

Well I'd say that Young is special also. I look forward to seeing him continue his outstanding journey.

If Reich and Fitterer traded up to 1 to get a QB who'd be there at 9, they need to be looking for jobs before the second round of the draft starts.

You very well might be right on that.  His preparation is off the charts.  Someone said he was on Luke's level for film study as well.  If a mold can be broken he might be the one to do it.

If you think AR would be there at 9, you'd be sad on draft night. Staying put at 9 would give us either Levis or Hooker. 

Richardson goes top-6.

There is probably 3 QBs going in the top 4 between Us, Houston, and the Colts.  The Raiders or another mystery team could be in play for that 3rd pick as well.  Yeah I don't think AR would make it to 9.

I think Richardson will at worst be the third quarterback taken in the top four picks, with the likelihood of him being taken with one of the first three picks high.

If you follow the context of most they are saying it is a concern, but they are more than ok with the pick.  It all falls apart with people state it isn't a concern, he won't get hurt because he only did once in college, look he took this one hit and survived so he can take 1000 more etc...

I’ve seen some Stroud proponents say they’d be ok with a Young selection, but I’ve also seen some saying they’ll be done with the team for it. Those are those posters I was referring to. 
 

I also will be excited with either. I just think we’d regret passing on Young the most.

I find it odd for anyone to quit being a fan over a draft pick.  Especially without even giving them a chance to see if they are a success or not.  The only situation I could understand is if the team is doing something they morally disagree with like trading for Watson with all his allegations.

Tepper is getting a fear boner at that thought. #1 For Watson and that huge contract.

Well, might as well add to the chaos. There is some serious smoke screening going on. 

When asked if AR had a chance, Tony Pauline said:

“If it’s up to Frank Reich, yes,” he replied. “I think what’s gone on or, what I’ve been told, is that everybody in the room is really heavily leaning towards C.J. Stroud. C.J. Stroud did well at the combine, he did well at the pro day and I’m told that the interviews with C.J. Stroud—he’s knocked them out of the park. And he’s very genuine, he’s been very forthright and he’s a likable guy. I’m told that everybody in the building is heavily leaning—if not, checked off the box on C.J. Stroud.

“I’m told that Frank Reich, if he had his way, would go with Anthony Richardson because of the upside, because of what Anthony Richardson could be two or three years down the road. It’s just a matter of how much of a fight is Frank Reich gonna put up in that war room to say, ‘Hey, listen, I want Anthony Richardson.’ I think right now, there’s probably less than a 20-percent chance it’s Anthony Richardson and all signs are pointing towards C.J. Stroud.”
