And then there were two. Texans QB choices that is.
"The Texans have the mindset right now of, 'Let's see who gets picked at number one, and we'll take the other guy,' because both of them [Young and Stroud] check a lot of boxes. You heard what DeMeco Ryans said: It's really down to the two of them, and they're evaluating both of them.
As this process has played out, a chasm has developed between Young, Stroud, and the rest of the pack, and as Palmer points out above, perhaps that has to do with the high grades Young and Stroud receive in the key areas of leadership and experience, particularly in massive games. The word"intangibles" is one you'll hear quite a bit leading up to the draft, when these signal callers are discussed.
The most polarizing touchpoint in evaluating both of these quarterbacks has been Young's size. He measured in at 5-foot-10 and 204 pounds at the NFL Combine. To give you an idea of just how slight of build Young is, 204 pounds was a pleasant surprise for how HIGH that number was. For what it's worth, Ryans has made it clear, Young's size is not an issue for the Texans.
So with C.J. Stroud in town this week, and Bryce Young slated to visit Houston later this month, it sounds like visiting with any other quarterback could just be subterfuge. Carolina will take one of Young or Stroud, and the Texans seems to be content to take the other. Listen to Sean Pendergast on SportsRadio 610 from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. weekdays.
