yeah. potentially millions on the line.


it sucks but i get it 100%

Absolutely not.

But do they take the best available OT, WR, or DE?

And yeah, if things continue the way they have been, they may have a top-3 pick.

Still, no QB worthy of a top 16 pick this year.

Yup, And for what, a possible victory in the prestigious Music City Bowl? Guess he'll miss out on that $300 of Bowl swag though.

Bryce Young and CJ Stroud certainly are. Beyond those two I would agree.

I understand that. But Cal usually cant get the top players because they are Cal. So Oregon, UCLA, USC, Utah kick their ass. Being like Purdue, they have strict guild lines on grades. Every once and awhile an Aaron Rogers drops into their lap. Josh Allen winds up in Wyoming, gets his first chance at better competition, how often does that happen.

My problem with Ohio St, ( other than being assholes from Ohio) is that they play a soft schedule and tend to lose to teams who play a tougher schedule. Is there a successful Qb in the NFL from OSU right now?

Unless you count Fields, who the jury is still out on, no, because OSU isn't historically known for their QBs (whereas, ironically to what you said above, Purdue is). Neither is Alabama, but Tua and Hurts are having some pretty good success right now. That's the point. With college football essentially consolidating itself into powerhouse conferences with super powerhouse schools (like Alabama and OSU), things like that are going to continue happening. School history has never been less important to evaluating a prospect because of the massive consolidation of college football in recent times.

How Stroud preforms against that monstrous Georgia defense will tell us a lot about him.

Yep. I want to see him have a respectable game against a legit "D" If he comes out and plays well against them I would have no quams of him over Levis, but that is a tall order. Levis has taken a talent void team and played them into a bowl game. Not the same numbers he has had in previous years, but he put the team on his back and made guys around him better. Stroud doesn't do that. Watch him when the pocket gets dirty, he panics.

Young, no, just no. Outside his ability to scramble he is not "HIM" He is barely 6ft. if he is even 6"ft and weighs less than 200 pounds. He will get broken in short order. RG3 ring a bell?

Levis biggest knock is his foot work. This is fixable. Other than that he checks the boxes. Has the size, has the talent, has the arm strength, and a brawlers attitude

Not sure why you say meh

Hooker has better numbers than Young Levis and Richardson. And played less games Who cares if he's a little older. He can still give about 10 years to 35

And you could get him in the 2nd or 3rd round and trade the #1 pick for a future pick and try to get Williams next yr
