I definitely want a rookie as our #2. That was the point I was trying to make. I don't want an old veteran. I want someone who can be the future of the franchise. There is no FA QB worth the money they will demand in free agency. Draft a rookie on the first or second day and bring him in to be the heir to the starting QB job. As for Bridgewater, no way. He's coming off a major injury, he didn't fare that well when he was healthy and I have a feeling he is gonna be fragile, because his lower body and legs are so thin.

I think it’s a little disingenuous to say Teddy is “coming off a major injury”. He’s 2 full years removed from it and even played in a game last year

And Teddy couldn't beat out Keenum.  I don't believe he could beat out Blake.  And if you're gonna pay what the market will demand for him, he's not worth it.  Of the three Minnesota qbs, I think only Keenum would have even odds of winning the job from Blake.  You want a cheap veteran backup who won't lose games for you if he has to play.  And draft your real backup that may develop into the future starter.  Currently, I enamored with Mason Rudolph.
