This year's Aaron Rodgers?

[Mr. Scot]

Mr Scot, I dont expect dumb ideas like this from you since you're actually a knowledgeable poster. Entertaining the thought of us even thinking about taking Teddy is a waste of time

 

Not so much 'entertaining the thought' as putting it out there as a 'what if'.  I don't see any way Bridgewater falls that far.  But again, nobody really saw Rodgers falling as far as he did either, so who knows?

 

But as stated before, if he did fall to us, I don't see him being picked.  If we didn't already have a starting QB, I'd draft Bridgewater in a heartbeat.  But we do, and other (very immediate) needs.

 

You can most certainly take a flier on a 'what if / just in case' player when you don't have urgent needs to fill and it's generally a good thing for the team.

 

But that's definitely not our situation right now.  So...not this year :unsure:

 

As far as Bridgewater though, I do think that where he lands will be one of this year's most interesting Draft Day stories.  Especially if he does start dropping farther than expected.

Seems like not that long ago Cam Newton was having shakey pre draft workouts.

I hope others believe that.  Ideally Tampa at 7 or Jacksonville giving up Justin Blackmon plus 39 to move to 28 to get him.  The reality is Cam=stud, TB=dud.  Cam=tank, TB=pretzel.

He won't fall.

 

Teams are now engaging in their yearly draft deception plan.

Its not that Bridgewater is short, its his small frame the makes him unattractive, but outside of that, I' take him if we had a strong oline and need a QB.

If he goes to Tampa he'll fall alright, right onto a stretcher after Monsters Inc make a TB&J sandwich out of him. Hope that happens!!!

I don't even think he gets to tampa (I could be wrong)

 

A bunch of teams are leaking reports of "bad workouts" when in fact he only had one with the Brows

 

NFL teams are scheming to try and get this kid to drop.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if he was the #1 qb maybe even player on 7-8 teams in the top 15

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

If he fell, which he almost definitely won't, then option #1 would be look for a trade. I'm talking a good trade too, because I would undoubtedly take Teddy with the #1 overall this year if I was looking for a QB.

It not, you can't pass on this kind of player. Groom him under Cam for 3 years or so and then get an absolute blockbuster of a trade for multiple firsts somewhere down the line.

[SmokinwithWilly]

If he's there at 28, we trade back. I know DG isn't big on trading back, but Denver traded up for The Golden Calf of Bristol. I'm sure we could get a couple seconds for Bridgewater.

[Mr. Scot]

FYI: Mel Kiper's latest mock has Bridgewater dropping all the way to the first pick of Round Two (Texans).

Do you find that plausible or do you think he's lost his mind?

Absolutely plausible. But hopefully the Texans will fear NE, Denver, or another team (like Jax) trading with Seattle above them enough to work a deal involving Andre Johnson to us to get to 28.

[ctrcat]

^ btw the above scenario also gives us Cyrus at 33, who is now often mocked to the Redskins at 34.

Bridgewater's agent responds to the story (PFT)

 

 

If I was his agent I would be furious at the picture they used:

 

 

That is a "doh" face if I have ever seen one.

I'm guessing he might go somewhere in the vicinity of CLE's 2nd pick in the 1st round - especially if the Browns don't go QB at 5. Teams looking to leapfrog them may be working the phones with Cincy and San Diego at 24-25. The Texans could offer 33 and 101. I wouldn't mind the Chargers taking that if Nix is gone or the team like DaQuan Jones more.
