Stroud has had the best supporting cast in those moments, though. He’s thrown passes to Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Marvin Harrison Jr. over the last two seasons — all four have been or will be first-round picks — and he’s had one of the better offensive lines in football. It’s fair to wonder how his performances without an All-Star cast around him could translate. There are also doubts about his general playmaking ability too. Stroud struggles in a pressured pocket and hasn’t consistently shown the wherewithal to create out of structure — something that sets the best quarterbacks apart. At the end of the day, though, there’s a lot to work with in his game and he’ll still wind up as a top-10 pick.
However, projecting him to a specific team is harder than it is with Richardson, and Levis. We’re going to go with a team that is potentially trading up: the Tennessee Titans. The Ryan Tannehill era is reaching its final legs and the Titans are one of the favorites to trade up for a quarterback in the draft. Stroud can step into the role immediately if the Titans elect to move on from Tannehill, and there’s reason to believe that Mike Vrabel would have an affinity for a fellow Ohio State alum.
