Sam Bradford's pro day workout should clear up top of NFL draft

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I just thought about this last night, but is anyone else worried that Shanahan might have the GW syndrome? The GW syndrome was where he thought his scheme was better than the players he needed.

I just really hope that Shanny doesn't think his zone blocking scheme can have anyone plugged in and have it work. I know we might need an upgrade at QB, but I am trusting him to understand that the offensive line is absolutely terrible.

He drafted Clady in the 1st a few years ago, I'm sure he understands the importance of talent on the OL.

The Bradford camp seems to forget this piece of information.

That's the one thing that makes me a lot less nervous...

I think Bradford is going to be a great pro, but this year isn't the year to give up the farm for a QB if it's going to set us back on picks.

At the same time he draft Cutler two years before he got Clady. If he likes Clausen enough to take him at 4 then I doubt he'll have any bones about passing up a top tackle prospect.

Still, the thought that we might have an 'elite' QB here with an 'elite' Head Coach and a progressive Offensive Co-ordinator is an enticing proposition. For me personally, I would much rather have Bradford/Saffold then Okung/McCoy.

I looked at the profiles of all the QB's taken in the first since 2003. There is no way of telling what you're going to get. A competent offensive coaching staff is probably your best chance of success along with a solid work ethic.
