General Draft Question: QB Bryce Young

kccrow · 03-23-2023, 10:47 AM

If you were an NFL GM and you were looking at Bryce Young, would you take him?

He's a really good college QB. He reads the defense, he's accurate, and he makes plays.

BUT... Is he a "good for my franchise NFL QB?"

He has two major knocks: arm strength is ho-hum and size is atrocious.

So, would you pin your hopes on what might be a miniature version of Drew Brees staying healthy or would you rather roll the dice on a guy like Anthony Richardson or Will Levis developing?

The voices in my head tell me it's absurd to take this guy ahead of Stroud, Levis, or Richardson. For as much as "size matters" in so many cases with NFL players and their ultimate draft position, I keep thinking "why would NFL teams throw caution to the wind simply because he was kept clean in college?" I wonder what the situation would have been like had he played for Kentucky, like Levis, then for Alabama where there was far more talent and far less pressure.
