I see, Joker, you've continued your mastery of hyperbole. Ya see, here's the problem with adding a C too high (especially in the first 2 rounds). You can't be sure he's going to be any better than what we have now. Any C we draft this season will likely be a developmental guy for next year or beyond.
In that case, promise me you'll still be around in a couple of years so I can throw a big fat "I told you so" your way.
What, exactly, makes you think I'll be doing that? The comparison you made between Bridgewater and Russell is LOLworthy at best on multiple levels.
Someone compared Bridgewater to Jamarcus Russell? Good grief.
Yup. I literally facepalmed in real life when I read that. It's a terrible comparison, not just on the field but off of it as well.
I just can not see a team giving up a 3rd round pick for Mallet, maybe a forth but a late pick seems the most likely, remember the team could not get anything for Hoyer and he had more game experience.
who is an NFL QB in this draft class then?
Here's the problem with Bridgewater, and its NOT the bad pro day.
1. Most important is the position he plays. Tom Brady is going to be the starter here for the next 3 seasons. It makes no sense to pick a player who is unlikely to see the field for 3 years with a #1 pick. C'mon guys Lets be reasonable here.
2. The Pats have needs in other areas that would preclude taking a player, even one who would be worthy of the pick, that you'd have no expectation of contributing other than holding a clip board and keeping TB company at the QB meetings. DT, TE, DB, OL, etc. Hell, I'd take a WR at 29 before I'd take a QB.
3. While I don't care about a bad pro day, I still have some reservations about Bridgewater's size and body type. He isn't skinny like TB in 2001. This guy is Twiggy skinny. Well OK that was hyperbolic, but you know what I mean. This kid is carbo loading just to get to 200. Its not a major reason to discount him, but one nonetheless....especially for a team with the Pats current QB situation.
4. What do you do with Ryan Mallett. BB obviously thinks he's a capable back up. If you keep him for another year, and he leaves, you at least have a great shot at a high comp pick. If you pick Bridgewater at 29 you'd be either forced to release Mallett, trade him for a low round pick, or have Bridgewater be the #3 QB for a season.
Teams would never trade for a QB, when they know a team eventually has to release him. At best it would be a very bad "seller's market".
5. Next year will be the time to start considering drafting Brady's replacement. Newsflash - QB's WILL be available. But for THIS year, anything before the 6th round would be too early to pick up a QB, IMHO
