Quote:Teddy is the #1 QB prospect in this draft. Everything you want in a QB prospect except he's not overly athletic...but he's still ok there too. Easy #1 pick potential.


Mariota is #2 and not too far behind Teddy. People on here that claim he would suck in any system besides one Oregon runs are just naive and unable to scout pro traits from anyone not playing in a 'pro style' system. He's not Teddy, especially from a pre snap dissection standpoint, but he is truly a franchise QB prospect and if/when he improves his game mentally he could surpass Teddy because his athleticism, height, lightning quick release put his ceiling a bit higher. If he declares he is a top 5 pick.


Manziel...yikes...one of those types that you have to love or hate not really much inbetween. It's true that he has improved substantially from last year, but his glaring weaknesses are still there and to put your eggs in his basket takes an enormous leap of faith on many levels. He still loves to take off scrambling from perfect pockets a dozen or more times a game, something that will get him punished in the NFL. He is small and doesn't protect his body when he does scramble, which leaves him open for big hits a la Vick/RG3, which will almost assuredly lead to big injuries just like those two...and he is already very close calls from a disastrous knee and shoulder injury. Finally, his decision making is still very subpar. Far too many dangerous...downright stupid...throws that often work in college because he has Mike Evans and a few other very good WRs. If you reign all 3 of those problems in then he has shown some nice quarterbacking skills, but you have also lost what makes him 'Johnny Football' and that package is just ok and nothing special either. Overall, day 2 grade from me and should go late round 2/early round 3...but he'll probably go round 1 because the state of NFL quarterback is so poor. He should really stay in school another year though.

I agree a lot of wat u said here. Bridgewater is the best nfl ready as of now. The only reason I did put Mariota is for the same reason, I think he has a higher ceiling; if he gets the long ball down and footwork in check, then watchout! N yes I do feel the same about Johnny to a certain extent, his decision making it a bit poor and he does take hits but he has big play ability and can extend plays. Johnny should stay in school but I doubt it, he's already goin to clubs, chillin with rappers, and sitting front row in nba games. He wants that on a daily basis.
