Bortles Goes Pro

It's also not because of what he can do with his arm right now. I'm very, very doubtful that he goes number 1. Top ten probably.

I'm quite aware that there is chatter from some talking heads, including Brugler, who has been his absolute biggest supporter. There's also guys like Greg Gabriel (longtime NFL scout and former Bears director of college scouting), who is predicting that if he's taken in the first round, the HC and GM who take him will be fired in three years. I see a big QB with a good, not great arm, accuracy issues, footwork issues, some mechanics issues. IMO he'd have to show a pretty huge improvement in pre-draft workouts in terms of mechanics and accuracy to surpass Bridgewater and even then I'm not sure. For some reason the media always wants to find some guy take down the consensus top QB in the draft. Happened with RG3 and Luck, and it's happening here. That's not to say he doesn't have impressive potential, but I just don't see any of the teams at the top willing to take the much higher risk that goes along with him over Bridgewater.

Pretty sure that as of today the number of underclassmen that have declared has set a new record, breaking the 2013 number, and there is still a week to go for underclassmen to make the call.
