Is Bryce a #1 prospect if he didn’t go to Bama?

[Aussie Tank]

Strouds Oline and WRs have been much more elite at Ohio State so I don’t get the argument 

[Billy Love]

But Bryce Young did go to Alabama, and excelled.

I don't know.  If anything it might be in spite of...

Kind of a confusing take considering Alabama isn’t exactly known for getting QBs drafted even in the first round until just the past few years with Tua and Mac Jones. Has Alabama ever had a QB go #1?

The Bryce is right

Stroud wouldn't even be considered as a day 1 pick if not for the future All Pro WRs he's had the past 2 years

Can someone ask the obvious question of “where does Stroud go if he’s not surrounded by 47382 first round wr and two of the top 4 tackles in this draft class”. No one asks this and it’s such a valid question.

I think if he were 6'3 he would be the unquestioned #1 prospect and the Bears wouldn't have traded the pick.

No clue. That's the big question marks on all the QBs coming out of the dominant blue chip programs. What will they look like when their team isn't head and shoulders better than their competition nearly every week? And yeah, I know Bama didn't have their usual talent but let's be honest? How many better rosters were there in college football? Honestly probably fewer than 5.

I think a big factor is the exposure. Everyone who watches college football is aware of who QB’s Alabama. They are televised. They play in big games. 
 

It certainly builds opinion. 
 

Had Josh Allen QB’d in the SEC he’s probably not dropping out of the top 5 players in the draft. 

There's so much exposure now with social media that while he may not have been on prime time as much, he wouldn't have gone unnoticed. Allen's big problem was accuracy. If he had played for Bama and still not been able to hit the broad side of a barn he would have still slid down in the draft.
