There was something else too. Can’t put my finger on how to explain it. 

I don’t consider myself any kind of QB expert for good reason. So I can’t or would never say I know this or that guy is clearly going top be great in the NFL. I knew Stroud could throw NFL throws. He had the size.

That’s where my expertise stops. A bunch of guys look the part to someone like me.

I will say this, I KNEW Bryce Young was not Stroud. I seriously doubted his arm strength and saw nothing else special. That’s about it. 

Same. Everyone points to his Georgia game as the game that sold them on him being an elite QB, but I still think that Utah bowl game the previous year was the best I saw him look at QB. I know Utah's defense was far worse than Georgia's, but the pinpoint throws he made that game despite his defense not being able to stop a nosebleed and the run game being just mediocre had me sold on him then.

Like I said, there is no way I would have called him OROY and looking like he did (was on a HOF trajectory his first year).

But I know the floor of what I am looking at on the surface. Like watching a guy throw. That is kind of the easy part (and we really fuged it up[) 

Stroud's physical tools and measureables were for sure adequate. Bryce Young’s were questionable. Leaning towards the side of ‘no’. It was only that not some great insight ability. I can’t do NFL QB nuance.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
