Here's a negative report on Manziel and a positive one on Bridgewater

good times

If you are interested in doing some further reading on Teddy Bridgewater, we suggest this SI.com MMQB profile from a few months back, sent to us by Drew Magary -- with whom we have traded roughly 900 texts and e-mails in the last 24 hours regarding the Vikings and the draft.

It's helpful to remember Bridgewater was thought of as a No. 1 pick talent just a few months ago. The piece lays out his strengths -- won't make mistakes, is accurate and is NFL-ready. The part about small hands made us cringe because we went through that already with Daunte Culpepper, so hopefully it's not really a thing.

@nicolashallett on Twitter sent us a link to this over at Deadspin, which gives a detailed scouting report of Manziel by New England. Basically, a Patriots scout really disliked Manziel's character and work habits, for whatever it's worth.

Again, it's all subjective and time will tell. Read at your own discretion.
