DRAFTED BY
Minnesota Vikings
Round 1 • Pick 32
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
A calculated, football-smart, precision-matchup rhythm passer, Bridgewater would be best suited entering a warm-weather or dome environment such as those most common in the South divisions. Would stand to benefit heavily from operating a short, dink-and-dunk rhythm passing game. Compensates for a lack of elite arm talent and prototype measureables with the intangibles and football intelligence that could elevate the other 52 players around him. Instinctive passer with the laser-beam determination to become a Pro Bowl-caliber passer in the right system.

New York Jets
Round 1 • Pick 18
PLAYER ANALYSIS
A big, physical, hammering run defender brings an enforcer mentality to the box and an intimidating, punishing presence to the back end. Is arguably the most violent hitter in this year's draft class and should make his presence felt readily in the pros.

Philadelphia Eagles
Round 1 • Pick 26
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
A high school quarterback turned pass rusher who broke out with 14.5 sacks as a senior (1.12 sacks-per-game average led nation), Smith projects as a pass-rushing, 3-4 right outside linebacker in the pros. Should contribute initially on passing downs and has eventual starter potential as his game becomes more well-rounded.

Round 3 • Pick 9
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Aggressive, high-collision 'Mike' linebacker best paired with a demanding position coach who will extract the most from him.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
A smart, quietly competitive, nondescript, interchangeable safety with a cautious playing temperament. Benefited from playing alongside standout Calvin Pryor in a defense that did not require as much back-end responsibility.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Fast, linear, one-cut, perimeter slasher best-suited for a zone scheme. Never established himself as a feature back, though his speed and special-teams ability will give him a chance to compete for a roster spot.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Runs a lot of simple digs, slants and bubble screens and is effective as a short-area, stationary target when he has free releases. Could compete for a job in the slot.
