Personally, who cares. Both Young and CJ will be successful with this staff. I trust who they pick. 

This^^^ 
At this point I’m just so happy that unlike last year we have legitimate prospects at a position of clear need at our fingertips… Nobody is saying “well it’s the QB position so lesser prospects will be pushed up” Nobody saying “ I wouldn’t do it but it’s the QB position” .. We have 2 guy who resumes, tapes, production and skills say they are top 5 picks .. And we are in the perfect position to finally solve a major problem with a equally valued answer..

I’m starting to miss the days when the team with the #1 pick negotiated the contract with the player they wanted weeks before the draft 

No this is way more fun and makes me really excited to watch that Thursday night. I know I’m the dog in this experiment but I’m enjoying the anticipation and the excitement.

I feel a bit bad for who goes second, the difference in going to Texans vs going to us is massive.

"Insider" lol. Jordan Schulz is a clown. 

It will be Bryce Young, until it will be CJ Stroud, until it will be Anthony Richardson. 

It's all conjecture and not one person knows definitivly one way or another and until that last weekend in April I imagine nobody will. 

I will be happy with either of Young or Stroud. If we can trade down to 2 and get extra picks plus one of the two I'll be ecstatic.

For whatever you think of Jordan Schulz, this clip is all speculation. 

Not sure how many actually watched the clip, but if you did you know the whole clip is full of "I think", "I think", "I think", "I think".

I think of Bryce this way---remember Luke Kuechly.  He was a very good athlete (surprising people at the combine) but others were similar to him.  He was 6-3, 235---not huge for a 4-3 MLB by any means.  Other great athletes of similar size were drafted in 2012 but he and Bobby Wagner became the best.  They were/are both very intelligent players, and MLB is the QB of the defense--that is how important Luke was to us--Bobby was/is to Seattle.  

My Point?  While Bryce Young is very small for an NFL QB, the thing that sets him apart is his ability to process and see the field better than the rest.  That makes him more capable of making everyone around him better.  Is that worth the risk of taking a 5-10, 200 lb QB?  That is the decision that must be made, but I want my leaders--on offense and defense--to be very smart. Nothing against Stroud or Richardson or Levis or Herndon--but the special QBs in NFL history, for the most part, were the smartest players on the field.   Manning, Brady, Montana, Mahomes, etc.

I have to pushback a bit on this one. Luke was an exceptional athlete with good height and weight just slightly below average. If there was a RAS type scoring for QB attributes Young would ace some of the mental stuff, but size, arm strength etc. would not score well at all. But I get what you are trying to do.

Yeah, I see people downplay Luke's physical talent quite a bit. The dude was a freak. You get a Luke type player when you combine elite physical and elite mental traits.

He was so smart it kind of made people forget what an athletic freak he was. But it was the combination of the two that made him who he was.

Meh 2011 was a lot worse imo 

You had multiple guys playing multiple positions. On top of that you had f’n Gabbert’s name being tossed around

Cam, AJ, Marcel and Von

At least this time we knew 100% it was going to be QB

2011 wasn’t nearly the 24/7 twitter/hot take/clout chasing crowd that exists now. That’s the issue with it this time.

      I see they blamed Slavin for the goal like I did.

      See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.

      Svech only 1 goal behind the guy they've pretty much already given the Conn Smythe to...
