#5 Minnesota Vikings: Teddy Bridgewater, QB UL (Trade down with Oakland for #8 pick and third/fifth round picks)
Rory’s Take: The first quarterback off the board is the best in this draft. Speilman has shown a preference for quarterbacks with Teddy’s skill set and here they trade up with a third round pick and a fifth to the Raiders.
Chase’s Take: Oakland gets two extra picks in this scenario, making more than up for the Schaub trade while allowing Minnesota to take the first quarterback in the draft. Not a bad potential scenario considering that the Vikings have yet to add a non-Matt Cassel quarterbacking option in Minnesota yet.
