Per the report, multiple sources around the league shared those scores for the two quarterbacks.

Furthermore, the article quotes one executive as saying Stroud's score raised a red flag about the quarterback.

“Stroud scored 18,” an executive said. “That is like red alert, red alert, you can’t take a guy like that. That is why I have Stroud as a bust. That in conjunction with the fact, name one Ohio State quarterback that’s ever done it in the league.”

As for the other top quarterbacks in this draft class, McGinn shared this.

Some other total scores in the class of quarterbacks this year were 96% for Fresno State’s Jake Haener, 93% for Kentucky’s Will Levis and Brigham Young’s Jaren Hall, 84% for Houston’s Clayton Tune, 79% for Florida’s Anthony Richardson and 46% for Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker.

While it is merely speculation at this moment as to a potential slide coming to Stroud, this could be the reason for the recent rumors that the Houston Texans are willing to trade out of the No.2 pick for any team wanting to make a deal.

Little bit concerning ?
Cause for concern? Sure. But tape is more important than anything else. If his tape looked like Trevor Lawrence's where he was missing gaping holes in zone coverage because he couldn't tell when his receiver was going to be in that hole, I'd say avoid drafting him. Instead, Stroud's tape is littered with things like his beautifully placed and timed seam ball to the RB against Cover 2 vs. Georgia where Stroud hit his RB in stride for an easy 37 yard TD. That isn't something a player with below average processing ability could do.
