Guess the Rams will take Bradford then.

crazy...trade him within the division. big balls for the Eagles.

If the alternative is Bradford, I wish the Rams had made this move. Getting to respectability might not be a great goal, but I happen to think Suh is a better building block towards a contender than Bradford.

I didn't want McNabb. It might give us five wins instead of three next season, but it's a pretty short term solution to a team that is rebuilding. I'm not 100% on Bradford I guess. I wouldn't mind the pick, because it will give us some national media attention.

I think the best case scenario is to draft Suh and then get a QB later in the first round.

Sports talk radio seems to think (unanimously, it appears) that they are going for Bradford.

I wanted the Raiders to get him sooooooooooo badly.

On 101 ESPN they were trying their hardest to down play Trent Dilfer's opinion on the top three QB's (Bradford, Clausen, McCoy). Dilfer was saying that McCoy has the biggest potential, Clausen is the most finished product and the most ready but has the lowest ceiling, and that Bradford was extremely untested and would take a long time to be ready.

I agree with a lot of what Trent was saying, and he brought up great points. But then the real QB experts, Rene Knott and some other goofball, were insinuating that Dilfer only felt that way because he personally worked out with McCoy recently. And they still thought Bradford was the best possible pick.

It's crazy how much the media can affect us. At the end of the season it was a no brainer to pick Suh. But suddenly ESPN decided it would be better for a good looking flashy QB like Mark Sanchez to be considered the top pick. Now we all want Bradford.

I fell for it, but I'm starting to doubt it. I really think Suh is the best option, and I think any QB we get late in the first round will do just fine. It doesn't matter if we draft Peyton Manning, if we don't have any WR to throw to then we won't score points.

I don't think Bradford was a media creation. Everyone was just worried about his shoulder, which seems to be fine now.

I'll be very interested to see how he does when his entire offensive line isn't allowed to hold on every play. I don't think his reads are going to be fast enough, but he could certainly prove me wrong; he seemed intelligent enough the couple of times I heard him interviewed. Most Division 1 quarterbacks would've looked good with the kind of talent he was surrounded by at OU, not to mention the interesting interpretation of the holding rule his offensive line was allowed every game (that I saw, at least).
