Quote:other than measurables what elite traits does Bortles have? At least Teddy has good grasp of the gsme and didn't come from a shotgun offense

He has the size. And clearly he has enough intangibles that Dave liked. But if he wasn't 6'5 I guarantee you he wouldn't be drafted that high. Go back 10 years and tell me which first rounders and specifically top 10-15 picks that didn't have the build, the arm or athletic ability? There just aren't many... if any. Alex Smith comes to mind but even he played in an offense that showcased what athletic ability he had.

Teddy just doesn't have any elite physical traits and rare are the successful NFL QBs without. Rare enough to scare teams from drafting one high.,
