Predictions:


2023 NFL Draft:

2023 NFL Draft: Best team fits for top QB prospects (C.J. Stroud, Ohio State - Best fits: Detroit Lions, Houston Texans.  I'm not dead set on this comparison yet, but in watching Stroud over the past two seasons at Ohio State, it's hard to strongly disagree with a Jared Goff comp for the young passer. They're very similar stylistically: strong yet not overwhelmingly power arms, pocket-management skills, quality ball placement to all levels and athleticism that teeters between average and functional. Because of that, Stroud learning from Goff on an upstart Lions team is perfectly sensible. With the likes of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and one of the league's sturdiest offensive lines, Stroud's clear-cut, best fit is in the Motor City, soaking up knowledge from Goff early in his pro career. Stroud will enter the NFL at 21 years old, just like Goff did.   The Texans aren't a bad fit, either, as Stroud stepped into the Ohio State quarterback gig with zero fear and amassed huge numbers in his two seasons as the starter. Houston is a club that needs a confident, highly talented passer who's not easily shaken. Stroud checks all those boxes.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2023-nfl-draft-best-team-fits-for-bryce-young-c-j-stroud-and-other-top-quarterback-prospects/
