Rick Spielman unsure of quarterbacks in 2014 Draft

Spielman unsure of quarterbacks in Draft

Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman believes that none of the quarterbacks available in the 2014 NFL Draft is a "sure thing".

The Vikings have been touted to select a signal caller with the eighth overall pick due to their struggles on offense last season.

However, Spielman has admitted that he has doubts over the trio of Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater, who are considered the best players at the position entering the Draft.

"That's a big reason why we made it a high priority to sign Matt Cassel back. Every one of these quarterbacks nothing is a sure thing. There's no Andrew Luck, no Peyton Manning," Spielman told TheMMQB.com.

"It is such a mixed bag with each player—every one of them has positives, every one of them has negatives. And if that's the way you end up feelings, why don't you just wait till later in the draft, and take someone with the first pick you're sure will help you right now? I agree with that coach, whoever it is. It is torturous this year."

The Vikings finished with a 5-10-1 record in the 2014 season.
