Stroud looks decent out there

[FrodosFinger]

Do we kick the tires if he’s there with our second 1st rd pick?

 

[Smellyman]

Only time I have watched either team.

Carter OTOH

 

[vonstout]

No chance he makes it that far even if we lose out. His stock went up a lot tonight

 

[James in PA]

Bryce Young still looks like the best of the bunch (right now), but handing the keys over long-term to another midget doesn't thrill me.

Stroud > Carter. Character concerns and poor work ethic sounds like Malik McDowell.

The Hawks won't get a chance to draft a top QB prospect again, and there's lots of pass rush depth to get in round 2. Would be sweet if they double dip at QB. Stroud at #3 and Richardson/Levis at #12

Sorry but two qb’s with your top 2 top 12 picks is, how do I say it… ridiculous!

Because trying to secure the most important position in all team sports is so ridiculous! Curious who you'd rather draft at #12 instead of high upside QBs like Richardson/Levis?

Stroud was outstanding— both passing and running on that final drive. His stock went up yesterday and Carter’s stock went down. Anderson did not look like a #2 pick yesterday, either. I’m thinking Poles might be more willing to trade down and the Stroud offers will be richer now. I wouldn’t mind trading down to some team that would trade a receiver + draft picks.

Carter was doubled all night which was a good game plan by Ohio State

I was actually really impressed with Carter. Definitely a load to handle and can move.

Always seems like excuses for the guy. Injured, tough conf, double teamed, teammates too good and took opportunities from him ect

Guy has bust written all over him with the character concerns and poor work ethic

If they pick a QB at #3, who would you pick at #12 over Richardson/Levis with guys who could realistically be available?

 

[Hawkinaz]

Right now it’s Knee Jerk Monday discounting the season and taking in only what happened last night.

With Carter he seems out of shape which is consistent with Jordan Davis who played with Georgia last year maybe with Georgia’s coaches conditioning is a low priority since they play so many players. From what I have seen recently Georgia has great athletes but not really skilled football players such as Trevon Walker as the #1 pick last year

All the online mock drafters are assuming that Young will be the 1st pick nobody really knows what the Texans are prioritizing and if they want a QB which one they might have already think Young is too small and off the list no matter how well he plays. It’s not how good of a player they were in college but how good of an NFL player they will be

It’s also possible if Stroud is available when the Bears pick Poles will select him and trade Field’s for a 1st rd pick. Stroud is a huge upgrade and fits better with what Eberflus wants to do offensively

There is still the Championship game I am expecting Carter to be motivated especially how the internet is talking about him and the Ohio State O line made him a non factor

 

[Double Tribble]

I would not be at all surprised to see Stroud go #1, especially after last night. If that happens, and Young is available, do we seriously pass?

Whaaaat? The guy drew a double all game and Carter still bullied them. Did you pay attention to the line of scrimmage? That’s why Ohio State had no running backs get over 50 yards and opted for the shootout. Carter played great

Passing on Young

I was specifically watching this game to check out Carter and was not impressed. I didn't think he actually got double teamed all that much. Seemed winded from the start of the game and looked like he took numerous plays off. Neither he nor Anderson helped their draft position much yesterday in my opinion.

 

[Ozzy]

I probably take Young and CJ over Carter and I’m open to Levis. CJ looked incredible though.

 

[Sonichound16]

Stroud definitely showed something that game that vaulted him up into that top pick consideration. I know Young had a great game as well, just not sold that he translates into the NFL game as well as Stroud.
