We should stay away from Bradford

Maybe it's the same reason Dwayne Jarrett gave for not attending the combine. Quote " I knew I was going Pro."

Is that the 2nd round bust you refering too? ha thats what im kinda worried about...

Was there ever a reason give for Bradford to not participate in his Pro Day?

^thanks for the update Matty

Isn't this entire discussion somewhat moot. Every prognosticator on the air has St. Louis taking Bradford at 1. Is there any chance in hell that he would fall all the way to 4 with both St. Louis and Tampa in front of us? Doesn't seem likely to me. I think we'll get Okung at 4 and pick up McCoy at 36, with a draft day trade for a mid-2nd round pick to land another OT.

I agree, I rather draft an offensive lineman personally.

I was thinking like you but honestly why waste the 2nd pick on McCoy if you don't feel he is going to be something great. There is always next years can't miss batch of QB's coming out and I am pretty sure we will be drafting in the the top 10 again next year.

Because I really think that Shanahan wants a young QB to push JC this year and see if he can perform. Brennan is not that young QB, and that leaves the draft. Plus the 2011 draft class for QBs isn't looking spectacular right now. Things obviously change and guys will emerge, but there isn't any real "can't miss" talent projected for the next draft. Then again, maybe someone will emerge as the next big thing.

I've read a couple articles about us taking Clausen at 4, but I really don't think our new front office is so arrogant to believe that they can turn this thing around with the sieve of an offensive line we've got now.

Heres a great article I read from SI about what NFL draft analysts said about certain prospects and how wrong they were about these 'can't miss' prospects

Good stuff CB. I think it shows you should be careful about buying into the hype.

Good find Cult...The article lends credence to why I've continuously stated the fact that the word potential, when discussing collegiate athletes can never be overestimated.
