I feel like Bortles is going 1st overall....so where does that leave us?

I personally am not comparing him to Geno Smith.  I'm saying if he falls even lower than where I have him mocked (thus the "may fall slightly", comment), then the Geno Smith comparisons by the national pundits will start.  I realize Bridgewater won't drop to the 2nd round as Geno did, but people will start talking about them in the same sentence on draft day if Bridgewater even falls out of the top 10.  Watch and see. 

 

That being said, I have read some things here and there about some comparing him to Geno due to his slight build, only decent running ability, success in college maybe not translating to the NFL, level of competition, etc, and yes way down the list probably because they are both black.  What is the big deal?  People compare Brady to Manning to Fouts to Marino all the time because they are slow, white guys who have had success standing in the pocket.
