"How can you judge a yearling??? I think it would be wise to see what he looks like as a mature horse before making any assumptions."

That is why I think you should not be breeding to a horse that young. A long yearling is not physically an adult horse yet, making it hard to judge him as is. And yes, yearlings do change as they mature. It is one thing not to cut him and to continue to accumulate credentials so that when he is mature, and you decide he is of breeding quality, you already have stuff under your belt. It is another to breed him before he is an adult himself.
