Jeremiah: "several Teams Think Bridgewater Isn't 1st Round Talent"

[max]

Teddy Bridgewater - QB
According to NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, "several teams" don't view Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater as a first-round talent.

Jeremiah is a well-sourced former scout, so we doubt he's reaching. Although it's surprising to hear that "several" teams are questioning Bridgewater's first-round credentials, "several" could still mean only three or four clubs. Consensus is rare for any player, especially quarterbacks. Despite some outlier views, we still fully expect Bridgewater to be a first-round pick.

Without question a first rounder. Top 5.

He's not a slam dunk, but no QB is... Not named Manning.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

He's a first rounder, but he's not a guy I would take at #1 overall even if my team needed a QB. I just don't think he's going to be that good.

 

[Ramhusker]

That's amazing to me. I think he's the complete package that should demand more attention than RG3 did and as much as Clowney. Wow! What am I missing?

Where's Jrry? He's not gonna like this. :stirthepot:

That's shocking. Those teams are idiots. I said the same thing back in 2011 when Cam Newton was getting the same type of claims made against him.

Yeah, to me he's a guy that's gonna get beat down, come out and have a monster pro day then skyrocket back up.

Wouldn't surprise me. Has a ton of arm talent.

So does Tom Hanks.

Dang it... why the heck couldn't we have the second overall pick next year? Night and day...

Not to worry Bortle Manzeil and Clowney assure we'll get something extra and still get the guy we want,MAYBE we don't turn the RG trade into a perpetual font of benefits but we're still gonna make out

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I said there was no way that Blaine Gabbert was a first round QB. I was wrong, but then again I was right.

Smoke Screen...trying to hope no one else will trade up for him

Shadows, and shadows of shadows-this is what it will be until May

 

[RFIP]

This may be a stretch saying he's not a 1st rounder with the way the draft is now where by QB's automatically ascend to the top but this is not a shocker to me, I don't see this guys future like most people do, then again I never saw it in Manuel last year, nor Ponder, Dalton, Tanneyhill, Geno and others but they all went a lot higher than I would have taken them.

 

[Thordaddy]

Someone will mention nobody thought Joe Montana was a first round QB and half the naysayers will shut up and the rest will get a chill thinking "do I want to be the guy who passed on him to draft (insert name).

If half the teams in the league grade him a first round talent now by draft day 90% will and among that 90% will be the ones actually needing a QB.
