Bradley in First?

[gamecocks]

SI's mock draft has Stew Bradley going 29th to the Ravens. I don't see Bradley moving into the first round but it is nice to see that his stock is rising with great play this week. I wouldn't mind seeing him go to the Ravens as they always produce great linebackers but I think this might be a bit of a stretch.

Does seem rather high, but work ethos and coachability plays a big part in it analyzing players

Holy crap. This is shocking that he's even being thought about being drafted on the first day. I was thinking 4th round for him. Whatever your doing Stew, keep doing it! Could we possibly have 2 first rounders in this years draft? I don't see it happening, but I guess you never know. Bradley's size must be very appealing to these scouts.

I think that one of the reasons why Bradley is moving up the draft board is that alot of teams that run the 3-4 like his size and that unlike most outside linebackers in the 3-4 defense he is not a conveted defensive end so he has experience covering running backs and tight ends.

That is a very good point. Plus he has experience rushing the passer from the linebacker position.

it isnt that hard to believe is it? in 05 he was our best LB before his injury. This year it seemed like he was a little slow but he improved as the year went on.

I agree that he was our best linebacker before his injury last year, but I just don't see first round talent in him like I do with Carriker or some other linebackers out there like Willis or the Penn State linebacker.

Bradley in the first round??? Wow......I would be very surprised if that ended up happening. No offense to him or anything but, I agree with gamecocks.....I dont see first round talent in him. He'll be solid where ever he goes though.

I think after Moore's game he's a strong 2nd round guy...............

Me too. He was first thought to be a steal in the later rounds, but now it doesn't look like he'll be around long enough for that. Awesome job he has done to increase his stock for the draft that he deserves.

[gamecocks]

The scouts will probally find some way to knock Moore. His forty won't be impressive enough or his upside won't be as high as someone else. Moore and Bradley's stock is high now, but there is a lot of time between now and the draft that could change the minds of the NFL teams.

its difficult to speculate, we will know more after the combine.

I too think these guys did well for themselves...

 

Bradley would surprise me in the 1st round....but possible mid-2nd....especially with guys like Ruud and Shanle earning starting jobs in the NFL recently... and I felt they were good NCAA, but not lights-out..

 

Carriker could go anywhere...1st round wouldn't surprise me....he is impressive....early 2nd at latest IMO

 

Moore had a great game, but don't forget, that 2 of his 3 sacks happened because the offense misplayed the blocking scheme.....he was totally unblocked for 2 of the sacks, including the caused fumbles....He didn't have to "beat" anyone..... I like Moore, and thought he was underrated in our defense, so I hope he makes it big, but I feel he is probably 3-5 rd. guy...

 

Just my unscientific opinion.
