If the Texans had to take Stroud with the No. 2 pick, what big weakness would they have to work around? According to Sam Monson from Pro Football Focus, the most vulnerable aspect of Stroud’s game is his ability to handle the pass rush. Stroud’s biggest weakness has been play under pressure — outside of his college playoff game against Georgia this season. His PFF grade from a clean pocket this season finished at 93.4 but dropped to 42.0 when he was pressured. His 10.3 yards per attempt from a clean pocket became 5.7 when under duress, and he ranked in just the 10th percentile in PFF grade under pressure. The game against Georgia showed that he has it in him to excel in those circumstances, but the rest of his college tape shows he hasn’t been able to do it consistently.
