CJ Stroud looks absolutely amazing and on a team that I would say is on par with our roster at best.
Poles said all along he needed to be blown away to stick at #1 and take a QB last year. By the time the combine rolled around he all but announced to the world the pick was for sale. I understand Fields showed flashes towards the end of last year and that played into that decision.
Fast forward to now and Stroud is blowing everyone away.
I think it’s fair to question what our staff missed on Stroud to be out on him immediately and whether or not we should be worried about them making the next decision on who our QB is.
20/20 hindsight – I would much rather have Stroud instead of the DJ Moore package and it’s not even close. Give me a franchise QB and figure out the rest of the line and WRs after that.
No one knows what a QB is going to look like until you put them on the field and have them start against an nfl defense. That goes for Busts and Booms alike.
Let’s say we put CJ stroud in the same QB class as JF. I’m not saying CJ goes last, but I could still see him going after Wilson, Lance and Lawerence and possibly fields.
Also, The Texans have a decent supporting cast and just got a highly respected new coach who seems to know what he is doing.
If we take a QB in the draft they will have a much better to play on than the one last year or this year.
