The NFL Draft is little more than week away, but we have known this year's players for almost four months. The question is how well do we really know these players? Lets find out with scouting reports on the drafts’ top prospects.
Player: Teddy Bridgewater
Summary: Bridgewater was once the big man on campus, but now he has fallen down the draft boards to the point where it’s questionable if he will go on the first day. Bridgewater will have his chance to prove that his subpar pro day was just one hiccup in his draft process and not the player he really is. Bridgewater could end up being the best off of the quarterback prospects if a potential playoff team takes a chance on him at the end of round one.
Pros:
- Smart
- Above average field vision
- Student of the game
- Mobile
- Makes teammates better
Cons:
- Great at nothing
- Inconsistent accuracy
- Weight issues
- Feet are subpar
Pro Comparison: Sam Bradford
Similar size, style of play and a lack of game changing mobility makes me think that Bradford and Bridgewater are an ideal match. Bridgewater won’t be the No. 1 overall pick that Bradford was, but with the right tools and protection he could become more than Bradford has been up to this point.
Perfect Fits: Oakland Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans
The Texans could luck out and get both Clowney and Bridgewater, which seemed impossible a few months ago. Bridgewater would go to a team with established weapons and a serviceable offensive line if he does slide to the back end of the first round and force the Texans to trade up for him. The great defense doesn’t hurt his chances of success either. Bridgewater could have an Aaron Rodgers-esque fall, but Rodgers also went on to be one of the best in the game so there is certianly hope.
