The QBs:

 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">1. QB Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Pocket movement and willingness to work through short to intermediate levels displays hints of… Tom Brady.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Excellent pocket movement. Bounces off his back foot to step up against edge pressure and isn’t afraid to slide laterally when faced with an interior rush. Keeps eyes up to survey coverages and works to multiple reads. Placement and touch are there, but has the velocity to hit vertical routes on the move. Not afraid to give a covered receiver in single coverage a chance to win. Reports have stated he takes care of many checks at the line of scrimmage.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: He fits any offense. Sustains success from the pocket but also has mobility which isn’t showcased often. Hits every level with placement and timing.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">2014 Draft Projection: Not really sure. Will be a top three QB.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">29. QB Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Tony Romo in terms of improvisational style.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Wearing down defenses with tempo. A master of broken plays. Stretches teams laterally with his feet. Forces defenses to match up with quick passes followed by elongated plays with little time to rest in between.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Has shown development from the pocket, but could thrive in a creative system. Thrives on broken plays. Drops his eye level, but can magically find open space and available passing lanes to connect on ridiculous completions. Will test tight single coverage. Gives his receiver a shot. Can also be a quick decision maker, which is key to Air Raid. Has made more throws outside the numbers and downfield this season. Obviously extremely mobile.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: Top-10.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">30. QB Blake Bortles, UCF

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: A poor man’s Andrew Luck in terms of mannerisms, running ability and pocket movement.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Strong pocket mover results in handling pressure others might fold under. Not afraid to work through multiple reads and multiple levels of the field. Spent a lot of time in shotgun, but throws from multiple arm angles. Does not hesitate when throwing to covered receivers to let them win at the catch point.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Velocity has dropped since 2012, and I am not sure why. With that said, I don’t think he has limitations in terms of an offense in the NFL.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: A top-10 selection, possibly No. 1 overall.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">31. QB Derek Carr, Fresno State

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Jay Cutler

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Has an incredible arm, not only when discussing velocity but also touch. Is forced to throw a lot of screens, but flashes upside as a vertical passer when given the opportunity. Shows athleticism when scrambling outside of the pocket. Aren’t many windows he can’t test.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Doesn’t always throw from a balanced base but has improved willingness to take a hit on release.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: Likely the fourth quarterback off the board.

 
 
Others:
 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">2. Edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Uses a J.J. Watt like swim move, athleticism might be Julius Peppers-esque.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Predominantly lines up at right defensive end in a three-point stance as a five, seven, or nine technique. His explosion off the snap is ridiculous, gaining an instant advantage against his competition. Obviously the swarming wingspan and closing speed is there, and he enjoys finishing hits with force. Has frequently taken the inside line this year, likely due to the shorter distance to the backfield. Loves to utilize an arm over swim and athletic footwork is on displays when avoiding cut blocks. Loops inside with ease. A rare power and speed athlete.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Most experience in a four man front, but his talent could be used in any defensive scheme.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: The first non-QB off the board. Top-5 pick.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">3. Edge player Khalil Mack, Buffalo

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Ahmad Brooks-plus

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Displays a unique combination of size and strength. Has quickness to get underneath an offensive lineman’s pads and then use his strength to drive that lineman into the backfield. Controls run blockers, maintaining outside leverage and resetting the line of scrimmage. Has enough athleticism to be a factor in coverage and can avoid cut blocks.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: As a stand up weakside pass rusher alongside a three man line or could play a strong side linebacker in a 4-3 under.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: Top-10 pick.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Fulton: Mack vs. Miller

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">4. WR Sammy Watkins, Clemson

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: The current Torrey Smith.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: The combination of burst and smooth movements in and out of his breaks or after catch moves is great. Hands catcher away from his body. An explosive player with the ball in his hands, gets up to high gear very quickly. Will go across the middle and catch passes in tight windows. Cuts routes off very quickly. Has balance to stay up beyond first defender. Wins from slot or outside.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Will help in a variety of ways, including yards after the catch, vertical routes, and in the return game.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: Expected to be the first receiver off the board, unless a team goes for a taller target who specializes winning at the catch point. Top-10.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">5. T Jake Matthews, Texas A&M

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Jordan Gross

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Doesn’t sit back and wait, finds contact through his hands and is an aggressive blocker. Obtains inside hand positioning and adjusts if necessary. Athletic feet to keep proper shoulder alignment, which prevents bending from the waist. Displays ability to bend at the knee to absorb and redirect. Sets up cut blocks and drives through with force. Moving from right to left tackle.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Has experience and played at a high level at left or right tackle. If a team wants him at center they will not get him.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: Top-10.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">6. T Greg Robinson, Auburn

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Trent Williams

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: An absolute mauler of a run blocker. His power is ridiculous. Can dominate even the strongest of defensive linemen with leverage and brute force. Is a very good athlete for his size, and that is evident while playing in space. Opens a clear road when asked to crash down or get to the second level. Powerful hands.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Still a bit inexperienced as a pass protector on an island, which is evident with flashes of waist bending, but he has the athleticism to fix it. Can play on the left or right side.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: Will be the first tackle selected.

Norris of full of shiet.  Talk about lazy scouting and reporting.  He just clumps the QBs not named Bridgewater all together in the rankings.  Like we don't know he has a hard on for Teddy B.  He's just too biased to take seriously.

I would swap Bortles and Manziel.  Possibly Carr and Manziel.

Pot meet kettle

A dude who has the user name with JFF in it is talking about bias. 

It's gonna be funny watching the all the fanboys of Johnny ego that have him in their screen name scrambling for new accounts when we don't draft the gnome.

This guy is probably a Jeopardy champion.

Or the ones scrambling to change their sig when Bridgewater goes somewhere else.

After Teddy B was exposed as the worst Pro Day in the history of QB Pro Days Norris still has him as the top overall prospect.  I'm sorry but if you look that horrible in shorts you will look even worse in the NFL.  Teddy is a 5th round project at best.  He can't even make simple completions throwing against air indoors to wide open receivers.

People are ridiculous. Sure he had a average pro day but he wasn't wearing gloves which he used his whole college career and unless gloves get banned for whatever reason he will always be able to use a pair. Your using his pro day to say he is a project player but his success versus actual defense beg to differ.

Gloves won't be banned but maybe they won't be practical in this Florida heat according to Bridgewater:

Shaun King asked Bridgewater about the decision during an interview that will are on Monday’s edition of Pro Football Talk on NBCSN.


“Well, when I was training down in Florida you know its 80 degree weather, sunny every day,” Bridgewater said.  “So I was out there throwing without the glove and just letting it rip, so I felt confident coming into this process, coming today that I trained without the glove so I could throw on Pro Day without the glove. So that was the biggest thing that led to that decision.”

Quote:Gloves won't be banned but maybe they won't be practical in this Florida heat according to Bridgewater:

 

Yeah, just another question mark with Bridgewater. It does get hot here

Please make more excuses for your hero.
