Teddy Bridgewater seems to be falling lately in mock drafts. Reported by USA Today,
Bridgewater is still a talented quarterback , but it appears teams are concerned by his slight frame, small hands and inaccuracy on deep passes.

This mock draft doesn’t even show Bridgewater being chosen in the first round. If this holds somewhat true, and Bridgewater still has not been selected by pick 29, which is where the Patriots sit in the NFL Draft, it is reasonable to assess that the Patriots could select him.
Eventually, the Patriots need to start considering a replacement for veteran Tom Brady, who turns 37 this August. Plus, during the pre-draft process, the Patriots have had 11 meetings with quarterback prospects.
Why would #Patriots meet with Manziel, Bridgewater? If nothing else it plays into Belichick's evil genius persona http://t.co/kHSOEKE0Qn

On a side note, who wouldn’t want to draft a guy who fulfilled his childhood promise to his mother, a breast cancer survivor, by buying her a pink Cadillac Escalade which he said when he told her when he was nine years-old, he would buy her some day?

No matter which team selects Bridgewater, they’re getting a guy with a heart of gold, in my opinion.
