Stroud is the best passer by a good bit in my opinion but he has really concerning issues with pressure and creativity.

Young has elite creativity and elusiveness but he’s REALLY small and his arm strength looked off to me this year. I suspect he’ll measure small hands too.

Levis has Superman traits but was a train wreck this year. Totally betting on potential with him but I’ve heard 2-3 times now that he’s QB1 on many boards.

Richardson has the best total skill set, imo. But his accuracy is a big issue. I actually think he has the best throwing mechanics but he’s totally inconsistent with his footwork and he only throws fastballs. He could be fixed, not sure Levis can.

Hendon Hooker is a no go for me. Only reads half the field due to the gimmick offense he played in. Average traits(maybe above average accuracy to be fair). Knee injury probably makes him miss most of next year, meaning he’ll be 26 before he’s 100% ready to play. Pass.

Levis and Richardson are QBs that'll either make franchises or get GMS fired

One thing to consider about Levis is he lost a crap load of receivers from 2021 (79% of this total completions). 4 of his top 5 receivers in 2022 were freshmen. Despite this, he raised his passer rating and only went down from 66.0% comp to 65.4% comp. He basically didn't use his legs in 2022 either after being a good runner in 2021; probably protecting himself. Also, Kentucky was an absolute offensive train wreck in the bowl without him, 0 pts and 168 total yards

Picking QBs is difficult.
Josh Allen was a pick based on potential that worked out, but not all do.
Thenn be Robles with WBs from Ohio State and similar programs is most everyone on their offense is physically better than the defenders they match up against most weeks. Makes it hard to predict how they will perform when talent levels are equal.

I think he’s going to be the one that gets really popular closer to draft time. He’s going to measure out really well and teams are going to want the next Allen/Herbert/Lawrence type.

I wanna say he lost his OC before this last season too.
