    “I would handicap Bryce as the favorite at this point…”

    I’m just saying that people are pumping him up like a new style QB, and he’s not.
    I’m not interested in a Goff/Cousins type at 2.
    And that’s if he hits his upside

    I don't think that's what the consensus upside is though? I agree, he's not a "new style QB." He's a pocket passer with mobility to extend some plays, but he's not a rushing QB.

    His upside though is you believe he has high end arm talent that can make throws to all three levels with elite accuracy, elite footwork and decision making. If that's who he is, that's not Kirk Cousins or Goff.

    That is literally his comps on almost every site.
    Elite decision making is a falsehood or wishful thinking at minimum.

    His high side is Cousins or Goff

    "when you ask people around the league, they tell me CJ is not an easy guy to coach"

    woof; I don't know how much to believe

    EDIT: his next video on who to take at 2, I think he said either Jalen Carter or Tyree wilson lol

    How much different would you say Mills is from Stroud?

    You don't believe in him which is fine. I'm not saying I do either, but some of the things you are saying about him being the scouting report just aren't true.

    Even the Goff comparison from Lance on NFL.com says he's the most accurate passer, goes through his reads, etc.

    Time to seriously consider trading down…even if it means trading the pick to Colts/ Titans.

    Not much at all physically, Mills is probably a bit faster and Stroud is more accurate

    Stroud is nowhere close to Herbert as an athlete or anything physically. That’s a ridiculous comp and whoever said that should be fired.
    Burrow has a lot more wiggle than Stroud.
    Geno? They’re just being lazy comparing him to another black QB.
    The closest comp physically is Jacoby Brissett and Goff

    No, every reputable site has him as Goff type QB.
    And I’m not saying he isn’t accurate, I’m saying he has thrown to wide open receivers and crumbles under pressure.
    There aren’t many progressions in Ohio St offense

    What are the reputable sites that you are including in "every" one that compares him to Goff?

    -Carolina trades up with CJ as their guy
    -Texans wanted BY so they’re cool with it
    -Carolina realized they gave up a rookie QBs best friend(DJ Moore) and wants to maximize current assets
    -Carolina decides to try to trade down to gather more assess
    -Carolina gets initial deals they don’t like
    -Carolina decides to try to entice Texans to swap
    -Carolina likes BY, leaks that he’s gaining steam, and could be the pick, hoping to get Texans to bite
    -Texans leak that they’re not 100% going QB at 2

    This is how you do the pre-draft timeframe(aka lying season)

    You just had two that said it along with another having Geno Smith as a comp.
    Is that what you want at 2?
    And that’s high side.
