    Young’s production is head and shoulders above Richardson. But you can’t ignore the size limitations of Young. Richardson is the bigger project with the much higher upside.

    If we put both players in the perfect system at the next level I would take Richardson. Obviously that doesn’t always happen.

    Richardson my be the most athletic prospect at the position since Mike Vick. That’s a 1 of 1 talent you can’t teach.

    I'm team Richardson in general as a top 5-10 pick. This is known. And to each their own in terms of who you like. But...

    1. I think you underestimate Young's upside here.
    2. I think you drastically underestimate the difference between the likely outcome of Young outside of "the perfect system" compared to Richardson in the same circumstance.

    If you're convinced that Young's size will preclude him from staying healthy and thus you just aren't going to bet on him, fine. But I can't go there with the rest once you start comparing skill sets and potential on-field outcomes beyond injury risk.

    I think Young was a great college QB, but I don’t understand him being considered by a lot of draft guys a no brainer. His arm strength is probably just adequate and his size is legitimately unprecedented.

    None of that means he can’t be good, I just don’t understand a lot of draftniks talking about him like he’s low risk no brainer first QB.

    His comp is Baker Mayfield. Imho… I’m guessing people will hate that.

    I believe I comped Stroud to Dak in the past and feel good about that one.

    I think they are both day 3 picks. Hayes is probably a guy who kicks inside imho. Pretty good athlete and Michigan does a good job developing guys on the line. I think he can be a starter in the nfl.

    Skill guys in a Michigan offense are hard to properly scout because generally production is going to be low outside of RBs. With that said Schoonmaker tested really well. He’s probably a guy you take and try to develop and hope he can help on special teams.

    Young is 4ft 8, 127 lbs and not near the athlete or QB that mediocre lilliputian Kyler was coming out.

    Any bum can look like a 1st rd QB prospect when you have the best OL in the country blocking for you, the best WRs in the country catching your passes, and the best RBs in the country taking the heat off the passing game. Look at Mac Jones!

    So a few less than were at Stroud’s pro-day. Assuming the scouting guys went to OSU’s too to see Marvin Harrison Jr. I’m guessing they keep it up for AR on Monday too. Keep everyone in suspense. Even though it’s 90 percent gonna be CJ and 10 percent Bryce Young.

    I have obvious concerns about his size. The quarterback part I have very few concerns about (at least compared to other 21 year olds coming out). How you ultimately weigh those two things compared to other QB prospects is going to inform how you rank them. I personally would rather bet on the skill set at that position than the measurables. I get why others would go the other way.

    because every fan of every team that drafts a 1st round QB talks themselves into him being 'the guy' and you'd be no different. you'd see a couple of highlight packages of Levis and be sold.

    Your head is so far up your own ass on this.
    I've been saying Levis was gonna get a front office fired for months. That shit isn't gonna change if the Titans draft him.
    Just admit you're talking out of your ass on this one buddy.

    I'd love to know with all the workouts, random measurements, timed drills, and generally how specialized the pro days and combines have gotten if teams are actually any better at drafting players than they were 30 years ago.

    Would love to see % to sticking in the NFL over the years on graph or something. Elite talent always harder to predict, but it seems more 1st rounders make an impact of some kind these days compared to the past. Maybe never do great or become a star, but good roster players. I could be way off though.

    Lol what would you prefer the prototypical QB with great size, great arm, and great accuracy or the severely undersized QB with a weaker arm who may be able to scramble better.

    Funny you don't mention Young's accuracy. Or that weaker arm makes every throw just fine.

    And I think having Stroud over Young is perfectly acceptable. Just find the need to downplay Young's strengths to talk up Stroud strange.

    But having AR over Young is just lazy trolling by Bankz

    Stroud is much more accurate than Young so I’m not sure where you’re going here.
