I wouldn't move to 1 for either of them, just don't think they are worth the likely compensation. That said, I can at least legitimatize the move for Stroud, no way in hell on Young.

I don’t love Bryce Young but I like him significantly more than Stroud/Levis. I’d trade what it takes to get #1 overall and bring in Harbaugh and hope for the best.

If so, it's going to be a 10 year slog of complete shit. Dude has wonderful accuracy and is apparently a top notch man. His offensive line is ass. He will make some plays in year 1 that will remind us of Michael Vick and we'll be excited for year 2. Year 2 he will begin to have injury issues and by year 3 will be David Carr / Robert Griffin, so shell shocked and broken inside that by year 5, will be wearing a blazer with a mic in his hand calling our games instead of playing in them.

Man Irsay CANNOT go this route!

That Mock draft makes no sense to me. I hope it is wrong! The only thing that might be right is the Texans taking Levis with the #2 pick. I still think there is a good chance they take Levis with the #2 even if Young is still on the board....only reason for the Colts to trade up to #1 is to get Levis!

Listen to JMV he had Holder on and he said Ballard definitely has a big ten bias and a lot of connections in the big ten so he could definitely see Ballard wanting Stroud. Also said he and the Bears GM are good friends so a move up is very plausible

Agree. I don't see Stroud falling all the way to 7.

Wow, you're reaching quite a bit here. "He was up against the best defense in college football and didn't have his top WR, RB, or TE, but it's not THAT impressive that he put up in one half what that defense gave up per game on the season." Really? How is that not impressive? He also got them in position to win the game BY DOING THE THING EVERYONE SAID HE WOULDN'T DO! Not his fault the kicker missed.

So if Duggan lights up “the best defense “ does that discount Strouds performance or make you want to draft him now?

Well, guess we don't have to worry about that anymore.

I think it's pretty clear what the answer to this is.

I like Bryce Young, but if he's 6'0" then Andrew Luck was 7'0". I watched Young's bowl game, saw him next to a WR who was listed on Alabama's athletics website as 6'0", and Young was noticeably shorter. If he measures well at the combine, I'd have him basically even with Stroud, but I need to see that he's not 5'7" 180 first.
