The big question is whether the Texans will take him at #2. Casserio is an old Patriots guy and they use/used the old Parcells QB checklist where you have to be a certain height/weight/completion percentage, etc. I don't think Young, Richardson or even Levis make the cut using the old protocol.

This is 100% true. Levis is the only one near reaching the old protocol and I do think that's the guy the Texans are going to take. I was just working a bit on my final r1 mock and I'm really quite stuck on how the QBs will go.
I know there's a lot of rah-rah around Young and Richardson but the fact of the damn matter is Young is a ****ing midget that played in the absolutely perfect situation and Richardson is highly inexperienced. This is the NFL. I wouldn't spend a top-10 pick on either of them. The real question is, does NFL brass agree with me or do they agree with the consensus?
If I were to mock how
I feel they should go it would be something like this:
1. CAR - Stroud
2. HOU - Levis
4. IND - Hooker
11. TEN - Richardson
19. TB - Young
And then people would look at me like I'm a damn crazy person. And maybe I am. I just can't move past the size of Young. To me, taking a chance on Young's size is a much bigger gamble than taking a chance on the rest. He's 5'10" and 185 pounds. He manufactured himself to 204 just for a weigh-in, but we all know much better. He didn't get hit much in college. What's going to happen when he gets smoked in the NFL 40 times in a season by some big, badass mofos? Bad things, that's what.
Now, I'm sure I won't mock it that way and give in to the talking heads and drafturbators some but I just don't feel its the right move if a team takes Young or Richardson in those top 4 picks.
I'm sure I will mock it as:
1. CAR - Stroud
2. HOU - Levis
4. IND - Young
11. TEN - Richardson
19. TB - Hooker
I might even put a nugget in where a team like Minnesota moves up to 15 for Hooker.
