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.

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 [URL="http://redskinshogheaven.com/"]MK/DT[/URL], 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.

Re: Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford
 
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.

Re: Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford
 
Come on Bradford put Kelly on the map and vice versa. I will say this til I get blue in the face, Bradford is a good to great QB that was on a loaded team that could have beaten the weaker teams in the NFL. Along with this fact is that with the exception of Texas and a newly rebuilt Nebraska program, there wasn't much in terms of competition in the Big 12. Mizzou and T Tech went down a notch in '09 from '08, and the rest of the conference as well. Get a QB in the mid rounds that showed poise, put up good numbers, against competiton that was equal or stronger most every week or just made things happen on a team that wasn't stocked with NFL caliber talent. Face it, Shanny has a major rebuilding task on his hands and any newbie might have to be able to deal with adverse game situations. In short, guys on teams that faced tough competition most of or all of the season and didn't play down to their competition or just roll over inferior opponents. Yes I am talking about the Pikes, Lefevours, etc of the draft. Bradford and Clausen are garnering all of the hype, but there is a gold mine of great potential Qbs coming out this year. Also, the injury thing still has to worry any sane person. Yeah, maybe the injuries were hyped up, but still do you think this guy is going to be able to take pops from Demarcus Ware and co for 16 games? I mean if we draft this guy I am going to root for him 100%, but I am going to cringe extra hard every time he takes a nasty hit.

So are you comfortable putting everything on JC this year and if he fails having our plan B being a QB class where none of the top 3 prospects threw for over 60% last year (Mallet, Locker, Prior)?

I mean think about it we have two of the most accurate QB's in college history at our disposal not to mention another guy who hit 68% of his passes this year in Clausen. The best part is we don't have to give away picks to select any of them. That means one extra player that we can add on the line or wherever else we have needs.

Look strength of competition isn't the only thing. Matt Ryan came out of the ACC, Joe Flacco came out of....well somewhere. Jamarcus Russell on the other hand played in the Conference of the God's and at this points he's a huge bust. In fact outside of Cutler under Shanahan the SEC hasn't really produced any QB's lately though I do believe Stafford is going to be pretty good up in Detroit.


We already passed up Drew Brees on account of JC, lets not make the same mistake again and pass up on a possible franchise QB.

Ya, plus we had just draft our QB of the future Jason Campbell, so there wasn't a need for us (then) to give up on JC and Mark Brunell, besides theres about 25 other teams in the NFL saying the same thing now..."Why didn't we get Brees 4 years ago?"

He sucks even with an OL.


He had great protection on that one play against the Giants and he ended up fumbling it for a TD . Hes 2nd worst than Heath Shaluer as our QB of all time, even Ramsey had the dignity to try and give us a comeback win .

Re: Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford
 
^agreed, I think you could give jason the cowboys or giants OL and he'd still suck. The problem with JC is that he sticks with one receiver and is afraid to throw to his second option. He stares down his receiver too much and doesn't have a good pocket presence as to when to get the ball out. A lot of people here are saying that we should give jason a one year chance this year to prove himself...Umm, Hello, he has had 5 years to prove himself, and he's had to change offenses a lot and relearn them, so why would another new offense be the trick to him being worthy of keeping?? Just go ahead and draft Bradford, keep campbell as a backup, not starter.

It's no wonder that he often had to throw from 3 step drops all year. A 7 step drop was almost a guaranteed sack, and a 5 step drop wasn't much better. Until the FO gets serious about building a great O-line, we will continue to underachieve.

I don't think this is about giving Campbell a chance, but more about using our resources to rebuild THE worst/oldest/most depleted unit in our team. We have an opportunity to acquire the top tackle in this draft (Okung), a player that can anchor our line for years to come.

I still don't understand this obsession with drafting a QB when we have an offensive line the couldn't block a high school defensive line. Somebody mentioned to me that we shouldn't draft a tackle at #4 just to say we drafted a tackle. Well, I believe fans have obsessed so much on hating/blaming Campbell, that they just want to draft another QB to just get rid of Campbell.

I agree Ruh. Some people are really high on the top 2 QB's in the draft and I can understand that. Some people don't seem to care who we get as long as JC goes. The o-line is the worse part of our team. Why shouldn't we use the first pick to help fix it? Because there's a [B]chance[/B] we get a franchise QB? C'mon, we've been putting this off long enough. Hell we haven't used a first round pick on a LT in 10 years. I'd say Chris Samuels turned out pretty good. Draft Okung and we shouldn't have to use a first round pick on a LT for another 10 years. We need a LT and the chances of getting a great one that high in the draft are far greater than getting a franchise QB, especially when he comes out early. [B]That's a fact[/B].

Felt this was an interesting tidbit on Bradford:
[quote]Kent Bradford said his son was experiencing some soreness, but was otherwise resting comfortably in Alabama after a 35-minute surgery. The quarterback, who had sprained the AC joint in his shoulder, was expected to return to Oklahoma within the next day or two.[/quote]

35 minute surgery to fix a sprain. Not a 360 degree tear like Drew Brees but a third degree sprain. Hopefully this will help everyone who's unsure about Bradford due to injury. I actually think it took longer to get my wisdom teeth taken out.

CultBrennan59 02-14-2010 01:40 PM

Re: Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford
 
Look, the other thing about Bradford which people are high about, is that last year according to Michael Lombardi on Inside the NFL, he said that several NFL sources had told him that Sam Bradford had one of the highest QB grades from the NFL Scouting department (the one that tells players where they would be projected/drafted should they enter for the draft), since Peyton Manning came out in 1998. According to Lombardi, Bradford graded out as a 98. He said that if Bradford had come out in last years draft he would have been the first QB taken. So, they're saying that he's better than Stafford And Sanchez. If you ask me, I think that if we can get a QB which some say is better than Sanchez for his rookie year, I'd take him. My other reason why, is because I feel like every year theres a "Franchise caliber LT that comes out every draft" Jason Smith and Michael Oher last year, Okung this year. Who will be the franchise QB for next year? Jake Locker? Who knows but theres always a better chance that they're will be franchise LT pretty much every draft, and a Pro Bowl Caliber QB about every 2 drafts or so. Add that with the fact that Shanahan has a great track record of getting average joes to play on his OL's, and that just supports more why we will get a QB over a tackle.

You forget the fact that our franchise LT has a terrible spine condition and should retire and our RT sucks big time. And didn't we already try the whole "taking average Joes and put them in our offensive line" deal? You seem to forget that Shanahan drafted Ryan Clady, so it is not completely strange for him to draft a first round tackle.

Re: Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford
 
Really, it just boils down to how much the players appeal to the scouting department. A top 4 pick is an extremely expensive investment and if any player is going to be drafted that high, it's all about having the best damn football player available, period. Drafting Bradford for need is stupid and drafting Okung for need is also stupid. They need to show they can play, and at a high level. That's it.

I was just going to say the same thing. These guys were picked up by a complete idiot, who was the puppet to the owner. Denver's gotten 6 OLineman through the draft since 2005. Washington's gotten 2 since 2005, and one of those 2, Kili Lefotu, was cut and didn't even make the roster. 4 of the 6 OLineman Denver drafted were/are starters. Again with shanahan here, we will do better with getting a better OL, therefore a tackle doesn't need to be our first pick like many have said it should, it should be best available, which would either be a QB (which we will get) or a Safety, like Eric Berry.

Bradford is a [B]BIG RISK[/B]. First of all, this draft class of quarterbacks is not all that. Bradford is coming off major shoulder surgery. That should raise a lot of red flags. No way should the Skins pick this guy that high. He is a second or third rounder at best. He is considered a first rounder because the quarterback talent is so low. The Redskin offensive line is in shambles and has been neglected for too long. Okung is the choice at #4.

You had me up until that. His shoulder surgery WASNT major. Last year, had he come out, he would be the starting QB for the Detroit Lions. And even with Suh being a consensus #1 pick, there are still rumors that even the rams might draft him #1 overall as well. So has a few red flags? Yes, but 2nd or 3rd round grade? No. But i agree, when you are picking 4th, you gotta grab the player that can start immediately and impact your team the most! We could def use an Eric Berry or even a Joe Haden if we let carlos rogers go or trade him away after tendering him. Can anyone tell me how the hell Anthony Davis rose past Russell Okung on the Scouts Draft board without even a combine yet? Did they just go back and review film?

GTripp0012 02-15-2010 01:50 PM

Re: Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford
 
I would not be so sure that the Lions would have taken Bradford over Stafford last year. They knew about Stafford's accuracy problems and deemed him a first-overall type anyway. It will be interesting to see how that works out. No quarterback since McNabb has enjoyed a lengthy career without better accuracy than Stafford has.

Bradford, today, is a better prospect than Bradford, at this time last year. And I have a much higher grade this year (mid first round, 15-18 ish overall big board) on Sam than I had on Stafford last year (2nd round, 43rd overall). But the Lions really liked Stafford...consider, they never even entertained the idea of bringing Sanchez in for a serious workout. It was Stafford or another position. And after the combine, they were pretty locked in to that one player.

[quote]"He told me he wants to put me on those types of situations where I can take advantage of my size. And then he just started talking about my hands. He said, 'We're going to find ways to get you the ball.' He told me he's going to find ways to show specifically what I can do.

[B]"That was something I haven't even heard before in my two years here. [/B]And it was coming from a guy who I know has went out and won championships, and a guy who has had playmakers at every position. That's one thing that he knows how to do - he finds ways to get his playmakers the ball. Looking at our talent level, he said he's going to be able to use all the young guys. It was real encouraging."[/quote]

Thanks Mr. Hixon.

[quote=Ruhskins;663038]I was under the impression that Gibbs wanted a veteran QB? (Brunell)[/quote]

That was two years earlier in 2004 when we gave up a third rounder for the soon to be released Brunell. The logic of passing up Brees was that we had only drafted Campbell a year earlier.
