Why C.J. Stroud is a better pick than Bryce Young.

IMHO Bryce young was listed at 6ft, but was really 5'10". He played at a weight of max 195lb at Alabama w/ one of the very best O lines in college football. He then went on to weigh in at 205lb at the combine, but would not weigh in at his pro day. Leading teams to suspect he couldn't keep his weight up at 205lb for his pro day. Young isn't built like Kyler Murry, he doesn't have his weight centered in his butt and legs, which allows QBs to be durable in the NFL.

I see way too much risk to reward in this pick, so high in the draft. C.J. Stroud is 6'3" 214lb w/ similar talent as Young, but has the size to start early and go through the growing pains of starting on a bad team. I don't think we can say that about Young.

IMHO neither are worth a top 5 pick, but teams will over draft them anyway. In fact this class isn't much better than last years crop. The QB postion didn't get any better this yr, but the teams got a whole lot dumber.



Bryce Young QB


Alabama • Jr • 5'10" / 204 lbs



C.J. Stroud QB

Ohio State • Jr • 6'3" / 214 lbs
Couldn't disagree more as far as talent goes.

CJ had arguably the greatest group of receivers in NCAA history to throw to. (Marvin Harrison Jr, Garrett Wilson, Olave, JSN, etc). He also had an entire offensive line that's going to play on Sundays. (Including both tackles top 2round picks).

CJ also struggled MIGHTILY the few times he was under pressure. He will not have the same level of talent disparity around him he did at Ohio.


Young while small, is a fantastic QB. Im really, really hoping the Panthers don't select him.
