I think you would agree that there is a difference in these two positions:
1) Stroud is the best of the 4 QBs but it is a very close group.
2) Stroud is hands down, far and away the best QB in this class because he's the most pro ready and carries the least risk factors.
The first position (the one you professed in your post) would lead you to stand pat and take whoever falls to you at 4.
The second position (my position since January 2023) would cause you to move heaven and earth to get to 1.

Absolutely. I was never that comfortable with the class. Stroud was my preference, but not to the point of trading up. I believe that was also the case for the other guys who preferred Stroud, aside from yourself.
I'm cautious by nature, so as solid as he's looked this season, I still hold off concluding that he was in fact worth trading for. Especially because AR showed qualities I didn't think he'd developed already. I don't just hope, but legitimately think, that AR can become something scary based off the little we saw of him.
Not that I don't completely understand you feeling vindicated.
