Quote:The Bears-Vikings game also looks like a toss up to me. The Bears passing game should have plenty of success against the Vikings Secondary. The Vikings running game should have plenty of success against the Bears run defense. Both teams have explosive playmakers on special teams. The difference in the game could easily be one turnover more than the other team.

 

Teddy Bridgewater currently shapes up as the most likely Vikings selection if they end up with the top pick. This probably will be the case even if a different regime is put in place in Minnesota in 2014.   

 

If you had to choose between Josh McCown and Christian Ponder who would you pick? When I saw McCown play a few weeks ago I thought, "We got the wrong McCown. Josh is a lot better than Luke." But the Bears have more talent overall on offense, so maybe teammates are making him look better than he is.

 

If the Vikings miss out on #1 because of the stupid tie yesterday (they did not even attempt a Hail Mary at the end), a trade up would make sense. However the team that "earns" the #1 pick will also need Teddy and not want to trade down. That tie is going to hurt them big time if we don't stay a half game better.
