As someone that has watched more Buckeye football than the rest of us, how does Stroud differ from those two prospects? Do you think he has a better chance to succeed than those two in particular?ĬR: The most interesting part about this knock is Ryan Day has developed three first-round picks. The immediate comparisons with Justin Fields and Dwayne Haskins are unavoidable for casual observers. For Texans fans, I think consistency might be the best bet at this point.īRB: From the outside looking in, the knock on Ohio State quarterbacks is that they aren’t quite ready for NFL football because of the system they run. To me, Stroud offers a skill set that translates immediately to the NFL, and the decision comes down to the wow plays of Young, the consistency of Stroud, or the upside of Levis. Stroud showed an ability to do that at times, most notably against Georgia. Young showed a more consistent ability to create off-schedule, which Stroud was not the most comfortable with in his time at Ohio State. Now looking at the difference between Bryce Young and Stroud, they both layer throws extremely well and share similar skills from the pocket. He may not have the upper-tier arm strength or size of Levis, but he rarely misses on throws. When you look at how he plays compared to Levis, Stroud rarely throws footballs off target. Stroud more closely than most casual observers, how do you view him in comparison with other quarterback prospects like Bryce Young and Will Levis? Do you have a sense of what he is like off the field in addition to what he is like on the field? Do you see him as a potential face of the franchise type of player?Ĭhris Renne: Stroud is a much different quarterback than Bryce Young and Will Levis, his strength starts with ball placement and accuracy. Stroud, but Renne walked us behind the scenes to take a deeper look at some other prosoects that could potentially go to the Texans in April.īattle Red Blog: Houston holds the second pick of the NFL draft and seems committed to picking a quarterback. Obviously, most of the attention will be on C.J.
