I'd be thrilled if we got Will Anderson Jr.I like Wilson, Anderson is growing on me. Carter is to big of a risk at the #5 spot IMO. It’s apparent he feels he doesn’t have to put in the work to be great, and his judgment is poor at best. As for the QBs I like Stroud best and feel he’s the safest of the QBs this draft.
I've already said a lot on Carter, but if I had to pick the best prospect other than Carter it would be Will Anderson Jr. or Bijan Robinson.
I think Bryce Young is the best QB in the draft. I had Stroud as #2, but his score on the S2 was very bad. If you're unfamiliar with the S2, here is a good article on it.
Introducing the S2 Cognition test that helps predict NFL quarterback success
The top NFL quarterbacks tend to score high on the S2 Cognition test that 800 draft prospects take each year. Purdy aced his exam last year.

For those that don't have a subscription to The Athletic, here are a few telling paragraphs:
The S2 isn’t an intelligence test like the 50-question Wonderlic exam but rather measures how quickly and accurately athletes process information. It’s like the 40-yard dash for the brain.
For decades the NFL used the Wonderlic to measure intelligence. The questions start out easy — What’s the eighth month of the year?, for example — and get progressively more difficult. Most people can’t finish the 12-minute exam. While a high Wonderlic score suggests a quarterback knows how to study and will remember the playbook, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll hold up well against a zero blitz.
The company recently looked at 27 starting quarterbacks. (Some of the older veterans like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers had entered the league before S2 began testing in 2015 and there are no scores for them; Brees took the test while already playing in the NFL.) Of that group, 13 had a career passer rating above 90. The average S2 score of those players was the 91st percentile. Those with passer ratings below 90 had much lower test results.
“Those 14 guys, the average score was in the low 60s,” Ally said.
