I voted for the following, and I've provided my reasoning below:

1. I don't want Bridgewater - He's not an "elite" QB prospect, he has a respectable arm, but I just don't see "it" when I see him play and when I see him dropback to pass.

2. I don't want Bortles - Again, I don't think he's an "elite" QB prospect, he has a ceiling, and "potential", but, I don't know if we have the right coaches in place to develop that potential.

3. If I had to take a QB, I am going to take the fiery kid out of Texas A&M, and for three reasons. One, he's been succesful and produced outstanding numbers against higher quality and more consistent competition than Bridgewater and Bortles have faced in college. Two, he almost fits today's NFL "Next Generation" QB to a tee. He's short, quick on his feet, can make plays on the run with his arm or with his legs just in general, and he's not afraid to go out and there let it loose. He fits into that same mold as your Russel Wilson and Colin Kaepernick. And then lastly, three, his confidence is there. I believe in this kid when I see him out there. His teammates believe in him. And his teammates feed off his big play ability. If I had to pick right now which one of those three guys in three years from now would have the most success in the NFL. I'd say it's going to end up being this kid.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

Poll: What is your preference when it comes to Teddy Bridgewater?
	Hope he falls to #3 and then sprint to the podium to select Bridgewater.
	Trade up with Houston and select Bridgewater.
	Don't want Bridgewater.
