It's exceedingly rare for a quarterback to peak as a rookie, but we're far enough along to start thinking of Stroud that way. The Jayden Higgins injury further clouds the chance of a breakout.
Matt Waldman
QB17
Stroud has the young and emerging weapons at receiver. He needs an offensive line and continuity with a good scheme. I'd rather add him from waivers than draft him.

Jayden Higgins torn ACL is another blow in the hopes Stroud finds a new level. I wouldn’t rule out incremental improvement, and a new contract. But we also can't say that he won't end up a backup QB on another team in a few years, either.
Craig Lakins

I'm inclined to believe rookie-year Stroud is in there somewhere.
