Disagree, Bridgewater is the most pro ready of the top QBs in this draft. He's had a bad stretch since his pro day. I actually think him sliding to the back half of the 1st Rd might be a good thing for him.

I agree he is the most ready to come in and play immediately and has a good football IQ. But, potential wise he is limited. I just dont see him becoming an elite QB at the next level. Bortles isnt as polished as Bridgewater, but he has more talent and potential.

I think Bridgewater is the safest pick out of the top 3 QBs. But I dont think he will ever be an elite QB. Similar to Andy Dalton IMO. He can run a system and is a good leader that makes solid decisions. But has athletic and physical limitations. I see Bridgewater as a solid NFL QB. Not great, but not horrible either.

But Bortles has more potential to be a better NFL QB, and still isnt a huge risk. And is a really good athlete. He most likely will be a solid NFL QB as well, but has more talent and potential to play at a higher level than Bridgewater. And doesnt have the physical and athletic limitations that Bridgewater does. He reminds me of a poor mans Big Ben.

Manziel is your typical boom or bust guy. If he can do what he did at TAMU in the NFL, he will be great. If not, hes going to struggle.
