This is from the 4-letter site, and pretty much backs everything I have been saying about Bradford all along, couldn't agree more, hope the Rams are reading this...or anyone with a high pick for that matter.
Bradford selection 'catastrophic'?
By Mike Sando
Trent Dilfer's interview with 101**** St. Louis is worth a listen for those interested in a different take on quarterbacks.
Quarterback Sam Bradford is an extremely raw prospect according to ****'s Trent Dilfer.Dilfer thinks the Rams would be best off taking defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh first overall, then trading up from the 33rd pick to select Colt McCoy as their quarterback. He thinks Jimmy Clausen is by far the best college quarterback right now. He thinks Sam Bradford faces a tough transition. He sees McCoy as the player most likely to develop into the best quarterback from this draft.
What does Dilfer know? Well, he's played the position and studied the players. Dilfer said he has watched every 2009 snap from all three quarterbacks -- two and three times in some cases -- using a template he developed with input from Mike Holmgren, Brian Billick, Jim Zorn and others.
"This is my passion," Dilfer said during the interview.
Dilfer attributes Bradford's perceived rise to hype and misinformation from personnel people with agendas.
"In my opinion," Dilfer said of Bradford, "he is not even close to the best player in this draft."
Dilfer sees Bradford as extremely raw and a player who hasn't performed in a system even remotely close to the ones preferred by NFL teams. He thinks Bradford's accuracy falls off as the Oklahoma quarterback goes through his reads.
Further, drafting Bradford could be a "catastrophic mistake" for the Rams if they did not handle him properly.
"Bradford is a talented guy," Dilfer said. "I understand why the perception has become what it is -- because he looks good in shorts. But that is the way he has played football, too. He has played in a 7-on-7 environment, not an 11-on-11 environment."
McCoy's competitiveness, leadership and athletic ability to extend plays will set him apart over time, Dilfer predicted.
I'll be saving the link from this item for future reference.
Note: As Lori indicates via Facebook and as Dilfer mentioned in the interview, he has worked out with McCoy. They share the same agent, David Dunn.
