Counterpoint. 

Texans say "We love you Bryce but we know Carolina does to. If you are there at 2 you're our guy and we will be sprinting to the podium tripping over ourselves with excitement. If you aren't because Carolina takes you we reconvene and go with what's best for our team and the future"

If Houston moved out of pick 2 tomorrow I'd bet you anything Bryce would still meet with the team that moves to 2. As would CJ. And that's because ultimately this is a confirmation based on what he's heard his floor is 2 and he's met with both those teams.

I think the Texans are dumb enough to say that, so who knows. But imagine you’re the Texans, you profess your undying love to Bryce Young, then the Panthers take him and you have to take CJ Stroud because you can’t get what you want in a trade down. Like every GM ever, you go to the podium and talk up your pick and assure your fan base that you got the guy you wanted. Then it comes out that you told Young he was your #1, and in fact would have preferred to trade down than draft Stroud. Not a good look.

Why is anyone shocked?

 

It's been trending this way for most of the offseason. The Stroud hype was coming from this board. Nationally Bryce Young was always thought as the best QB in this draft.

 

Welcome to Carolina Bryce Young!

 

Dov Kleiman on Twitter: "With the 1st overall pick, it is now possible that Bryce  Young might join the #Panthers https://t.co/q1AUc3LwAP" / Twitter

I mean seriously. BY has miles and miles of stellar game tape playing in the SEC.  And game tape doesn’t lie.  He’s the dude.

I wonder how many of the Stroud superstans are going to start pretending that they were okay with Young the whole time despite their post history showing otherwise. 👀

Less than 2 weeks until it's draft time!!!

I call them "size queens". lmao

They all became experts on body types and how much weight ppl can possible gain, whether the it is all water etc...

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
