There's 8 in his top 5 WR group. That's how good this draft is, you can't confine them to numbers, man

A lot of similarities between Bridgewater and Brian Brohm.

Except Teddy played in a more traditional pro style offense and performed better than Brohm on nearly every statistical measurement. Plus Teddy has a consistent increase in completion percentage every year along with y/a while Brohm's actually dropped after his first two years. I don't actually see many similarities at all other than school. Bridgewater reminds me more of Pennington or maybe even Matt Ryan than Brohm. Not great arm strength but good enough and is great at the mental game along with intermediate/short passing.

I'm with relentless boredom, I think Teddy compares nicely to Matt Ryan.

Is this a roundabout way of saying you think the Bengals or maybe Chiefs will take him or do you think he falls to the third or so where that happens more often? I don't even know who else might be in a position to do that earlyish (and KC really isn't, honestly), I guess Cardinals maybe?

I just think he's gonna be undervalued by teams that need an answer right now because he needs to bulk up a bit. I could see him going to the Rams with their #2, or maybe Pit or the Giants. Someone with a QB on the tail end who's had a few injuries.

If I were drafting I'd want Teddy, but I'm woefully under-qualified and don't even watch more than five or six college games a year. For whatever reason coaches seem to overvalue physical traits as a liability. Seems like a guy showing fundamental mental flaws always gets overlooked at QB, players drop for size much more often.

I really don't give a poo poo about how people rank the quarterbacks but that's because my team is extremely unlikely to draft one before like the third round.

O'Brien says his system will allow QB to make decision at line of scrimmage. Will use "formation indicators" to help him make that decision.

Kirios

That 2014 is a much deeper and superior draft? In 2013 there's a near certainty that Bortles would have been the clear #1 pick. There was no Clowney, Robinson, Bridgewater, Bortles, hell even Manziel or Mack in that draft. A loving left tackle from Central Michigan got taken #1 overall last year because of potential. That's how terrible that draft was.

In terms of prospects 2014 has four that are head and shoulders above anyone from 2013. Clowney Matthews Robinson and Mack.

The rest are about the same. This draft has much more depth, and everyone has known that for quite some time.

I'm just setting this all up for your inevitable spin if the texans take Blake bortles first in this draft because l o loving l that'd be beautiful

I've been on record quite a few times that I'm not looking forward to the inevitable Bortles at #1 pick. I have no idea what you're talking about AAA DOLFAN. I seem to recall you being way too hyped with Tannehill when the Dolphins drafted him...somewhat hypocritical of you to act like that.

It's a shame he has such a good HB name but he is a really underwhelming prospect that will probably become a UDFA.
