I've had a McCarron to Vikings vibe for a while.

I don't like the name Blake Bortles. Can't see a guy with that name becoming a franchise QB. Reminds me too much of the name Blaine Gabbert. Just sounds weak.

Mettenberger is a name I can get behind. Reminds me of Roethisberger. Nab him at 40. But first I'd go Carr if he can be had in the late first (via a trade up).

glad someone brought up the name thing, another reason i have bortles over bridgewater is because of 'teddy'

stems back to some article i read years ago (probably something by bill simmons) about how things might have been different for joey harrington if he went by joe instead

See, that makes me more confident in him. When I hear his name, I think of two amazing individuals from the past; Teddy Roosevelt and Teddy KGB. Speak softly, carry a big stick, and enjoy your oreos.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Teddy is the only possible choice. The only famous Ted is Ted Kacyznski the Unibomber, the only famous Theo is Theo Huxtable (though an underrated actor and obviously the unheralded star of the show), and the only famous Theodore is the fat chimpmunk.

Never trust a Blake in pro sports Griffin is one of the few exceptions.
