Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford

[GTripp0012]

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.
