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.

    Should every team in the NFL get blame for passing on Brady?

    I mean hindsight is undefeated. I’m ok with what we did last year, we built up a much better offense and gave Fields one more year. Now when we draft a QB next year he will be in a much better position to succeed; this team has real talent on offense.

    We got an amazing haul from the Carolina trade; and given that Young looks awful we may even get more nice stuff next year (IIRC we have their second next year)

      Stroud went #2. Every team didn’t pass on him several times.

      I don’t think it’s outlandish to ask why the team who had the #1 picked passed on the dude who went #2 and is balling out.
