Them some good drugs you on.

I trust the draft insiders, who say that no team in the top 10 likes Richardson, and that Detroit, Seattle, and Atlanta want to wait a year before thinking QB and want to take the defensive help this draft offers.

The Titans want a QB, the Colts love Levis, and the Texans are not a fan of anyone but Young, but it's possible they could take Levis 2 and Stroud would then go 4, and the Titans would then pass on QB this year.

Remember, no one would have believed that Malik would fall out of the top 60 last year, or Howell/Corral/Ridder that late in the draft either. Richardson is viewed as a pure athlete that needs years of seasoning, kind of like how Malik was the same thing a year earlier (Richardson is a better prospect of course though)

I can see Richardson falling, it's the Stroud falling to 9-11 that has me puzzled.

He's an enigma right now. I think most likely him, but there's just this nasty seed of doubt that has popped in that is making people tap the brakes.

Teams are thinking, "I think he'll do good, but do I really want to bank my job on this guy or do I want to go a safer route with another position?"

If the draft were a week earlier or even a week later it could be a different deal, but the current narrative just doesn't work in his favor.

There's like 2 posters here that I feel will legitimately be angry about BY as the pick. On the other side I get the vibe that if there is a remote possibility we pick Stroud or Richardson some folks here who have fallen so madly in love may dive out of a window.

I don't know that anyone on the Huddle has fallen madly in love with Young. At least I haven't seen it. What I can say is that there are those, myself included, who believe that he has the best tape, unique talent, and the most natural feel for what he needs to do situationally to have success on the field at any given moment during a game.   We all know what his presumed shortcoming is. Some have decided that makes him untouchable, while others say that when weighed against everything else, the risk is with the reward.

At this point it would take the 12th pick + to consider trading the 1 to the Texans

Yeah, just throwing out a wild scenario that catches us all off guard, but I think it will be Young going 1st to Panthers.

Occam’s rayzor 

my only regret is not actually putting big money on Bryce when the odds were elsewhere. 

sometimes the best player in college does in fact turn into the best player in the nfl 

Jalen Carter and Will Anderson?

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
