79 Mock Drafts: Sam Bradford still Redskins projected choice

[SBXVII]

[QUOTE=53Fan;657734]Well there are 32 starting QB's in the NFL and there are 160 starting o-linemen. They can't all be #1 picks, but teams like the Jets who do have more than 1 on the o-line seem to be doing pretty well and I would certainly give their line more credit than their QB. One of those #1 QB picks is our own JC who we would be replacing because he's.....not good enough?[/QUOTE]

I'll have to give you this one. Most teams thought we reached for JC when most likely he would have been drafted in later rounds if drafted at all. Some teams felt because of where he was from he would have been a UFA.

To tell you the truth it wasn't until today that it finally sunk in that this team actually feels totally different to me. If the bus were to pull up today (which I think it has) I'm all at the back of the bus near the toilet... just in case I'm wrong so I can vomit. but I'm on the bus. This year I'm not expecting SB chances, however I do get jealous with the teams that draft QB's then all of a sudden look 110 % better like Atlanta, Baltimore, and Jets. but honestly I'll be satisfied even if we put a 5-11 team on the field so long as there is a sign of improvement on the field, play calling, and clock management. I'm not asking for miracles, just asking for them to look like an NFL team.

I found myself feeling sorry for the Raider fans who most likely would give their left nut for Al Davis to either keel over or back off and hire a decent GM and HC and let them run the team knowing that it will take whoever comes in more then a few years to fix the mess he has turned the team into.

Whoever or however our team chooses to utilize the draft will be ok with me knowing adiquate minds are at work with a plan on turning this team around.

If drafted at all? You're saying that some teams didn't consider him worthy of being drafted at all?

That's just not accurate.

He was a top five QB prospect in that draft at the very very worst.

His most common projection was as a second round pick.

I'm speculating as well as you ant SI is. Yes they think he was worthy of the draft spot but it doesn't mean he actually would have been drafted there. It all depends on what teams need and what teams had him on there radar and well after the draft we heard from media people saying some teams felt we reached for him taking him in the 1st round and some teams wondered why we even drafted him because they felt JC would have been available after the draft as a UFA. But.... as I said it's all speculation. What we do know is he was drafted in the 1st round. Whether he's worthy of that spot is opinion.

My opinion? JC was most likely worthy of a 4,5,or 6th round spot and was majorly coached up. He's definitly a great back up QB. We need a Franchise QB though for the long haul. Hopefully between Dad and Son the Shanahan's can find one where ever they draft him.

Nobody thought Campbell was going to go undrafted. It might have been a reach to take him in the first but there wasn't an analyst anywhere who did not have campbell as a top 3 round talent.

Not only was it a reach to take him in the first round it was complete stupidity to give away 3 draft picks to make that reach.

They gave up 2 and swapped 1sts. But the point I was trying to make was he would not of slipped past the third round let alone go undrafted.

In all fairness he was projected to go to the Browns at 34 if he slipped by the Redskins at 25.
