Position:

2 CJ Stroud

School: Ohio State University

Description: CJ Stroud has the highest floor of any QB in this class. He displays above-average arm strength, and his best tools are his accuracy and instincts. He has good size for the position, and while he has displayed his athleticism and mobility at times, he does not rival his predecessor Justin Fields in that category. However, he is not a statue in the pocket. Like many QBs, he can be prone to inconsistency when pressured, and at times can make reads late when operating the offense. He had high-level production during his college career, with four WRs with first round grades at this point over two seasons, as well as elite OL protection. He rises to the occasion and does not struggle under pressure, as evidenced by his 4 touchdown game vs Georgia in the college football playoff. Because he does not have the most profound tools, he would be aided considerably by a stable situation, where he can operate comfortably within the system and thrive immediately.
