Results of the game have nothing to do with Stroud's evaluation. Stroud was amazing last night.
I like him more than Young if I was choosing a QB out of this draft. I don't think he has as much upside as Fields, but he's more QB savvy/developed passer than Fields was entering the draft. Doesn't quite have the arm or athleticism of Fields, but can get the ball out faster.
My problem with Stroud is he didnt have the receivers like he had last year. Yes he seemed to find some last night. But if he is to be an instant starter in the NFL after he is drafted, that team better have some very high
quality receivers to throw to. If not, I expect Stroud to have some NFL growing pains. I just dont see him as an immediate NFL superstar instantly.
