Blake Bortles - QB: UCF

If he declares, where does this guy end up being drafted?

Mcshay has him top 5 going to Jags

Unfortunately, top 10 pick. If he stays, I think he could improve a ton, and go top 5 guaranteed.

I think if he declares, a team like MInnesota would make sense. Cleveland also. There are like 5 or 6 teams with a need for a franchise QB in this years draft.

I had a discussion with my father the other day about his Vikings, and how bad Cassel, Ponder, and Freeman are, he says they need a franchise QB, I mentioned how you never see a legit QB come through free agency, they usually get extended or tagged. And no way IMO is Cutler a $100M QB. Seems inconsistent at times. So I think they need to draft a Guy, I mentioned Bortles if he declares, also Carr, and Manziel. I said Teddy would be great, but don't think he falls to I think 8, so they would need to swing a deal with Houston, and give up a ton for Teddy.

Vikings have alot of talent just poorly coached it will be interesting who their next coach is as far as their QB my dad is a Vikings fan and wants Manziel the kid scrambles like Fran Tarkenton would be a good fit imo

Yeah they have weapons, AP(If they keep him), Jarius Wright, Patterson, Rudolph, Gerhart(If re-signed), Asiata is a good looking RB, Jennings(If he actually contributes for a change). I said there holes are QB, OG(I dont know who is there Guards, I think Charlie Johnson is, and he isn't much good), DE and DT(Allen and Kevin Williams are FAs, but they do have Floyd, and another good DT, also have Robison, and I think Griffen), then ILB(Bishop and Henderson are UFAs, so I said maybe Mosley if they cant get the QB, trade back, acquire a few picks, pick up the best ILB in the draft).

Bortles has all the physical tools you want in a franchise QB and should go top 10 if he declares. Unfortunately for him, he's also as raw as a plate of sashimi and will likely get thrown into the fire way before he's ready.

I've seen him play in at least 5 games this season and I don't watch college football. Dude is so f**king legit and has that 'it' factor. Favorite QB in the draft, especially if he can ride the bench and be groomed for 2 seasons

But the real story on him is that his girlfriend has over "6 million googles"
