Quote:I agree with you in theory pirks but I think you grading this class a little too low...

 

" I think that his throwing skill set and movement will remind some of Russell Wilson. He throws the ball well. He has good feel. He's a guy who understands windows, timing, anticipation. You would say he has the arm strength to make all the necessary throws but doesn't have a gun. Not an extreme talent like "Wow, look at this kid throw the football." He has light feet, sets up quickly, asked to make decisions before the snap of the ball at the LOS and thought he did that extremely well. His delivery is compact. He showed pocket movement. For the most part, he was an efficient player."

 

As far as the arm strength or lack there of and the anticipation it sound like Chad Pennington......and I have mentioned that before.

 

As far as him comparing him to Russell Wilson, that is fair, but he doesn't have Wilson's arm strength and Wilson was drafted in the 3rd round "for lack of size" which Bridgewater to a degree has due to body mass. 

 

I know people say if we could re-draft Wilson would be a first round pick, but I don't see it. Maybe 2nd round instead of 3rd round, but he has also benefited a lot by being on a team with a lot of talent, something neither him or Bridgewater would be able to benefit from being draft to a team like ours and then having the expectations of a first round pick let alone a top 5 one.
