BlueShoe Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Although center and interior offensive line is not a huge need for the Colts right now, I do like Bradbury a lot.

Valpo2004 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Doesn't he have short arms though? Regardless . . . for the first time in a long time, OL is not a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett does not have the preferred arm length to play outside. It should not impact him playing inside though. I agree that it is nice to not have a need on the OL. However, we can quickly get back into a bad situation if we are not replenishing... I am not saying we are in a position to use a first round pick, but if Bradbury falls to #59 then it would be very enticing. I think he might be gone in the late first or early second though.

If I am not mistaken, they play ZBS and that OL was top 5 or 6 in the nation in efficiency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad72 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 While reading up on him a while ago mainly because I was looking for RT prospects from good O-lines, I ended up looking at NC State OL. Then, I found this well written article on Bradbury: https://www.catscratchreader.com/2019/1/31/18204675/film-room-scouting-report-on-nc-state-garrett-bradbury-2019-nfl-draft Looks like an athletic center indeed, Rimington award winner too (best college center in 2018 season). Looks like he may even go late round 1 to a playoff team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hark Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 While, in our current situation with a few glaring needs, I wouldn't use a 1 on o-line, I don't think you can ever have too much quality in the trenches. Based on everything CB has said, he seems to think the same way. Who knows, if this guy ends up being BPA on our board when we pick, I wouldn't be upset at all if we pulled the trigger.

BProland85 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 If he lasted till our late 3rd round pick, I would be all for drafting him to be our backup swing C/OG in case of injury to Kelly, Glow, or Nelson. I don't think that much of Boehm, and Kelly seems to get hurt often so having a very talented backup wouldn't be the worst idea. The top 2 rounds should be spent on defense though.

We would have to get him with our late 2nd at worst, and we probably do not have the luxury of a third second rounder to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to last to pick 89. Not even close. He was a solid Day 2 kid BEFORE running sub-5. As others have noted, he now may be viewed as a possible first round kid. Not even sure if he lasts to our pick 59? Kid should be long gone by then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to pick up a OL in the draft I think it should be a developmental tackle who can if he fails at playing tackle can at least play guard. Castanzo has his contract coming up and he's getting up there in age, although he probably has 3 or 4 good years left in him. But if we are thinking about OL, we should think about a possible replacement at LT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, available talent inside sometimes takes that choice away. I think Bradbury would be in our sights at 26 if we didn’t already have a nice unit inside. Because we would be drafting OL for depth, he will likely be long gone before our need/value would hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, not sure a dude with t-rex arms is the guy I wanna blow out 1st on...hell I'd rather they went WR or TE, and I hate that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
