Oh man Bryce is gonna be Kit Harrington sized. Gonz posted:I met Jay Feely years ago at a Cardinals draft party next to the stadium out in Glendale. We talked Michigan football for about ten minutes and I felt like the Big Show standing next to him. Yeah dude you’re a giant congrats.

Yeah the pat white one is a concerned. I hate the "bulk up" posts that come around draft time but if a dude ever needed a mass gaining program.

Unless Bryce Young has an absolutely godawful combine, I doubt he falls further than 4th. I still think he’s 1st overall (if someone in love with him trades up with the Bears), but if not, doesn’t get past Houston at 2. Would Jim Irsay trade up three spots to draft Will Levis?

It hasn’t even been a week since the Super Bowl but the withdrawls have begun. *gently scratches on neck* Free agency begins on 3/15 and the combine is 2/28 to 3/6. *repeatedly checks watch every 5 minutes; wipes sweat from brow* C’mon, NFL. Hurry up. Hurry up. C’mon , maaaaaaaan.

In what world does Tua need to run in order to be successful? That's a first.

I'm missing where Tua came into this conversation and I don't think we're talking about running QBs really other than me bringing one disastrous one up. And I was intending to just note worries about small frames rather than crap on their chances of succeeding. All Tua has to do is survive and groove passes. The surviving part has been a problem this last year. /shrug It's not like Tua's smol small either, he's just not 6'4". Bryce Young is a whole different deal of being a little guy.

Honestly CJ Stroud feels like the Ballard Draft pick.

Stroud is my guess but obviously Steichen just got in the door so they're gonna let him have input on who he wants as well. But again, I figure if they fall in love with any of them they'll trade up. If they think that they can work with any of them and grade them at about the same level they'll stay where they are and pick whoever falls to them.

Steichen really is the wild card here. Ballard, we know he's a big measurables guy, so it's hard to imagine Bryce is his QB1. But if Steichen pounds the table for him, it could happen. My prediction is that the Colts don't end up trading up, and take either Stroud or Levis at 4.

This crop of QB really seems like they're all similar tier with different flavors of profile and playstyle. I can see no team trading up and the Bears taking defense #1.

I do still think that Levis or Stroud will be who the Colts target. If it's Young then they can forget about that QB sneak that Steichen ran so well with Hurts.

Shane Steichen posted:I think accuracy, decision making and the ability to create are the three things that I look at in a quarterback,. I think those all three things are very important but obviously, above the neck, the players that I've been around – Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert and Philip Rivers, they all have one thing in common. They're obsessed with their craft. If you can find that in a quarterback, you'll probably have some success.

Except Phil and Jalen both can't hit the broadside of a barn and were consistently bailed out by all world talent around them BlindSite posted:I really like him from what I've seen and don't give much of a poo poo about his size. Couple years in an nfl program and he'll either make it or he won't. Baker and Kyler both have had their careers derailed by consistent injuries. Russ also is doing really bad because of all the injuries he's picked up. I think it's more indicative of running a lot rather than size though.

Tom Brady made a deal with the devil that for every child Phillip Rivers sires, Brady gets a ring. Phil made the opposite deal.

Their roster is low key poo poo for how cash poor they are and this year's already going to be a push with a new coach and no QB for a chunk of the year. If ever someone needed to get cheap young guys and had a clear path to do it...

Yeah, cards should try and get the biggest package they can. Heck maybe even try trading down again. 2023 is a lost season anyway. Plan for 2024.

I'm skeptical that there's going to be that much activity past the point where Young and Stroud are off the board. Like, are the Panthers going to pay what it takes to move up to 3 just to snipe Will Levis?

Someone might really fall in love with Levis and he at least looks the part, maybe Bryce annoys teams in interviews or shows up at 5'5" and 150 lbs (hyberbole here, it won't be that bad). We're all just kinda speculating at this point, the combine for better or worse is when things start getting real.
