Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford

With already so much buzz about the Redskins possibly using the No. 4 overall pick to draft quarterback Sam Bradford, I figured it would be a good time to get a scouting report from Malcolm Kelly about his former Oklahoma Sooners teammate.

Redskins Insider - Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/malcolm-kelly-gives-his-though.html)

what else would MK say? Of course he's going to give a glowing report about his teams old QB.

Well if My old college QB made me a star and helped get me good money, I would Love him also lol

No news here Bradford looks good on film MK is being honest as well as doing what a ex-teammate would do tell nice things about each other. I just think we should try the youth in the OL first before giving up on our QB or draft a QB later maybe 4th or 5th round.

I was gonna hate on DT for a bit and decided against it, went away and read some articles on MK/DT (http://redskinshogheaven.com/), it made me hate on Zorn more and put me back into perspective. Watching a corner fade into the end zone to freakin Santana Moss last year drove me f'n nuts. Maybe all of these young guys will finally be put into a situation to excel. Finally.

**** Meant this to go into the DT thread

Most of the time that would just be drafting a QB just to say you drafted one. Even if he develops into a starter the most likely case would be on par with a Bruce Gradowski or Derrick Anderson, where you usually find yourself begging the front office to replace them in a year or two. Colt might develop into a good NFL player but he's on the roster right now thanks to a great preseason performance 2 years ago. You take a lineman with that fourth or fifth round pick and history says you have a decent chance to find a starter.

3rd round seems to be the latest round where you can find a decent QB. Tony Romo, Kurt Warner, and Tom Brady are exceptions to the rule and are surrounded by QB's in similar positions that were out of the league in a few years if that.

Agree 110% but as you know we don't have a 3rd round pick gave it up for Jarmon & i'm not upset about that.

Ditto.

His thoughts sum up what the scouting report on Bradford has confirmed, good arm strength, confidence and accurate. He'll have to get stronger to play at the next level though. Kelly only played one year with him and caught forty-nine balls, not what you'd call a history but I would expect him to only have good things to say about the kid.

I don't remember him being particularly accurate, definitely not in the 2009 BCS Championship game.
