That and Bradford is smart a hell. I'll take "Most important QB traits for $1000, Alex."

But where does that go when I tell you that Stafford is pretty much a lock to declare and no one thinks Bradford will you can't go "well we ain't taken Stafford cause we want Bradford next year" then you have like the 3rd pick and miss out.

You can't play that way cause the odds of having back to back #1's is slim and none.

It depends on how it all shakes out. It maybe that the NFL is closing in on an agreement to slot rookies. If they do, I suspect Bradford would come out this year, because he's smart.

If that happens everyone is coming out....but I haven't seen Bradford on any board basically no one thinks he's coming out.

If we have the #1 pick, what are the rules about us contacting players who may potentially come out?

That would be against the rules I believe..players have a window to decide if they are coming out or not, and a date they can change their mind by if they don't hire an agent.

I think there's a good chance Stafford would have the higher grade even if he was in the draft with Bradford.
