Were Young 6'3" and 220 pounds, there’d be zero question who would go No. 1. “If he was as big as Justin Fields, there’d be no discussion,” says one NFC exec. “Chicago would take him and move on from Justin.” “You don’t even have to quote anybody on that,” says an AFC exec. “That’s exactly what it is. The size is just a major deal.” “If Bryce Young was 6'3", 220,” Jeremiah says, “I would be talking about him like I talked about Burrow and Lawrence.” “I love Bryce Young, I really do,” McShay says. “I know he’s 195 pounds; a really good friend of mine who’s a scout had him at 5'10½". But I met with him, I’ve talked to him. He’s special. He’s different. He has the poise, the presence in the pocket, the playmaking, everything else you want. I absolutely love Bryce Young. I would bet on him.” In his next breath, McShay concedes, “If I’m a GM, I’m scared to death of drafting him.” Bottom line, in a class full of exceptions, you have to make a big one to take Young that high. McShay sees “a smaller version of Patrick Mahomes” in Young. Others agreed the right comparison, because of Young’s size, instincts, accuracy, and football smarts, might be Drew Brees. Patriots OC Bill O’Brien (Bama’s OC the last two years) told any scout who’d listen over the last year that he sees Young as a unique player, person and prospect—and Alabama even scaled back on RPO concepts because Young was so advanced. The problem is none of that is going to create a precedent for a player of Young’s size, stature and athletic profile making it long term as an NFL star at his position. Betting on Young, as McShay said he would, is betting that he is a total outlier. And his frame is as big an issue as his height, with the fact that he got hurt last year on a simple tackle only raising the concern of how he’ll hold up physically in the pros. So what he weighs in at in Indy—and it sounds like he’s closing in on 200 pounds—will be scrutinized, for sure, with the likelihood being that he won’t work out at the combine. And that he’ll probably give us our biggest early headlines of the draft cycle.
I’m perfectly happy with CJ Stroud in the Westcoast system and our tackles. He’s going to have time to throw the ball with space which he is the best in the class at. If someone mortgages the future for Young then great. I think GM’s are going to be scared of sending multiple first rounders for a guy his size just due to the “I told you so” situation if he does get hurt. The AR kid from Florida is intriguing to me. I think someone will fall in love with him and jump up for the potential. I’m not a Vegas guy, but it’s really interesting to me that he’s jumped up so much higher in odds. Jalen Hurts was fixed by the Eagles by playing with the Colts new HC. Just something to keep in mind. I think the Texans end up with Young ultimately ant 2 and will be lucky to have Stroud at 2 as well. He’s really underrated from the pocket and his accuracy is elite!!!!
Most QBs can’t see over the linemen. They pretty much all use passing windows. I suspect that Bryce Young drops back so far to help him with that.
We'll see how it goes for him. I don't care if the Texans draft him if he's there at #2 (prefer Anderson), but I definitely do not want to see the Texans use any assets to trade up 1 spot.
El oh El. Please don’t spend another pick to move up in this draft. Not to move up 1 spot at least. Please.
This is one piece of everything he said. He spoke to the pros AND the con listed above. “McShay: "He’s special. The playmaking, everything else you want. I absolutely love Bryce Young."
If you think there is a generational talent at QB in this draft, you do. If other teams think this, they certainly will.
