Good move, his stock dropped a bit after the bowl game. Plus he probably did not want the Lions to even think about taking him.
Looked smaller, arm looked a bit Tebowish, did not get evade the rush very well. All in all did not do himself any favors.I was really high on Bradford before the Florida game, now not so sure. There is a good chance he would have dropped like Quinn did.
I remember watching that OU/TT game and seeing several plays where OU would run off tackle and the LoS was moved back 6 yards downfield because the line had such an amazing push.And how many of Bradford's heisman highlights didn't include the announcer saying "Bradford with all day to throw". Not many...
seriously, the lions will take the LT this year then (oher probably) and then take him as their qb of the future next year. i don't think NFL scouts have him anywhere near as high as some people on this board are thinking. i don't see it. i really don't. i don't think his arm is that strong and he seems to be playing into the numbers.i would take strafford, sanchez, and mccoy over him. not to mention the kid from ball state probably as well.
McCoy, no way. I think Stafford and Sanchez are close, but I'd still put him over at least Sanchez.
I don't think he can increase his draft stock, but he can increase his chances of long term NFL success.
Run blocking in the college game, Duke and Loadholt are menaces. I don't think they're too great at pass blocking though, poor footwork. They were able to excel in most cases in the college game because the competition was inferior, exceptions being the Texas and Florida games when Loadholt looked overmatched at times and Duke looked just average. Again, they're good, but I don't think they're as great as advertised.As for its effect on Bradford next season, I think his ability to move around the pocket is often over looked because most immediately point toward the oline as the reason he seems to have all day. It's one reason, but Bradford's pocket presence is another big one. He doesn't look to run first, second, or even third, he remains patient moving around in the pocket until someone breaks free then he rifles it in there with pinpoint accuracy more often than not. He did not make all great throws under durress in the Florida game, but he made several of them mixed in with a few lower quality ones due to the pass rush. Maybe a nother year behind a downgraded line will be good for his development as he may be able to work on his passing ability under durress more often.
Yeah it's not like they won't be at the bottom of the heap next year as well...poised to take him if he still the one they want.
I kind of agree.
