NFL insider explains why he wouldn’t take Bryce Young in first round of NFL Draft

Merril Hoge says CJ Stroud is the only quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft he'd give a first-round grade to. He explains why he's lower on Bryce Young.

“You take Bryce Young into that pocket-collapsing environment, he doesn’t have a big enough arm so he’s limited in where he’s going to be able to throw, and he’s not the same quarterback (as Stroud). He can’t make those throws,” Hoge said. “That’s going to be a big consistency in the National Football League. He doesn’t play like CJ Stroud does. I still love him, I still think he does a great job. I think he can be a good quarterback. I wouldn’t put a first-round pick on him because that expectation is you’re going to be elite, you’re going to take us to a championship.

“And you have to have this as part of your evaluation: he is fragile. He is not very big. And he’s already displayed that. The year where they were dominant and he won the Heisman Trophy, they were a dominant team and he was awesome. When they weren’t quite the team they were the previous year, people got to hit him, people got around him more, and he didn’t play the entire season. He got hurt because you hit him. … In our league, he’s gonna get hit. He’s not physically… He’s very fragile, and you have to be OK with him not playing a few games every year. You have to accept that could happen. And then with his limited ability to throw from a dirty pocket in an NFL environment, CJ Stroud doesn’t have those things. If I have the choice, I’m gonna take the guy who doesn’t put those limitations on me.”
