Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford

[CultBrennan59]

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.

Average Joe's picked by Vinny with only one drafted during the course of the draft since 2005.

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.
