Are you going to spend that draft pick and all that money on him?

Is SF drafting 9?
If Stafford and Sanchez go 1/2, I'd absolutely consider dropping back to 8 for an extra 2nd. He's not going before then. If only Stafford or Sanchez goes before us, I'd be doubly inclined to drop down as we're almost 100% assured of getting one of the 2 remaining players.
If we can't find a partner, I'd still take him at 3. He's going to be a good one.
These aren't infants, fellas. This "he'd have to learn to drop back" thing is just bizarre. You really think a kid with the ability he has shown is going to struggle to drop back? We're not talking about a peewee leaguer here, we're talking about a Heisman winner with an elite pedigree. I think he'll manage.
Additionally, even with their respective offenses, it's not as though Stafford or Sanchez are going to be ready to give you veteran reads when they step on the field either. They'll be facing some pretty steep learning curves themselves. They'll be a little bit ahead, but if Bradford has the aptitude scouts are saying he does, he'll get there soon enough.
When he gets there, I'll take the accurate arm over the big one every time. Additionally, despite his arm being a little weaker, he throws the best deep ball of the three. It's that nice high arch that lets recievers run under it. Reminds me of Jeff Blake (who couldn't do a damn thing but throw deep passes).
