Those nay-sayers suggesting this is a ploy to make Teddy Bridgewater a first round sinker are also the most likely suspects in lofting him to the top of the first round, a place he doesn't belong.

 

Seeing is believing? I doubt it since this is the SECOND time this has come up...here

NFL media draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah says that if Louisville junior quarterback Teddy Bridgewater decides to turn pro, he will be "elevated above his ability." 


"He's not in the same class as some of the elite guys we've seen come out over the last few years," Jeremiah said this week on Fox Sports' Peter Schrager Podcast. "He's not Cam [Newton], he's not Andrew Luck. I liked 'RG3' [Robert Griffin III] better when he came out, as well. I do like him better than anyone we had in last year's draft class. If he does come out, I see him getting elevated above his ability."

 

Fellow NFL Network pro scouting expert Charles Davis hits the nail directly on the head....

 

NFL Media draft analyst Charles Davis said on the same podcast that he likes Bridgewater "a bunch." But he also said, "I'm not sure he's a top-10 guy, but I think he may get picked in the top 10."


Davis said quarterbacks often get overrated because if an NFL team doesn't have a guy it can count on at the position, "You're in trouble. I think sometimes we artificially boost these guys up because people are just terrified. What's the alternative? What do we do? Where do we go?"

 

Bridgewater is not elite, franchise quarterback talent. 

 

Picks are assets. Get the best available player you can possibly get with the pick. Taking a less talented player makes you less talented.
