The guy I am most happy for, after the first round of the
NFL draft, is none other than Teddy Bridgewater. Lets face it, the guy at one
point was projected to be the number one overall pick in this years draft and
he just so happened to be overshadowed by the phenomenon named Johnny Football.
At the end of the day other top quarterback prospects, Blake Bortles and Johnny
Manziel, were drafted by teams that desperately needed depth at the quarterback
position ahead of Bridgewater. The Minnesota Vikings were another team with the
need at quarterback, and they knew if they didn’t pounce on Teddy at some point
late in the first round, another team would.
Probably the biggest move in my book was the Vikings move to
trade into the first round late and select Bridgewater. If they didn’t Houston,
with the first pick in round two of the draft, would of most certainty taken
the guy, leaving them with Clowney and Teddy (let that sink in). But the
Vikings themselves got two jems in Anthony Barr out of UCLA and eventually
Teddy Bridgewater.
I am not sure who the General Manager is of the Minnesota
Vikings but I envy his decision-making skills. Last Years draft, the Vikings
selected 3 top prospects in the first round, one of which was Cordarrelle
Patterson. 2014’s draft proved to be similar by selecting two top prospects.
But back to talking about Teddy, I am happy for the guy. I truly believe Teddy maybe the most NFL ready out of the other top quarterback prospects, and with the level of talent at the quarterback position on the Vikings right now, it looks like he will start week 1. Minnesota will be a great home for the dude, after all how could you be upset
with a team with Adrian Peterson on it? #BarneyPurple #nosoap
