    J/K Benji. He fits the description psychically but does he have it mentally? If not can he learn" Somewhere over the weekend I see us taking a LB so who knows. I'd love Zach Brown but he'll go long before round four or five.

    this is bad coaching that can be fixed! Also the cover 2 is zone coverage even from our linebackers... this kid could def sit back and learn and still play hard. His report has very little things wrong with him. It sounds like he plays too tough... i like that! If we had an earlier 3rd pick i would want him quick but im sure he will be gone by the time he makes it to us

    Maybe he will, maybe he wont. Some mocks have him in the third, others in 4th. I would grab him late 3rd if he were there. Knowing Lovie's hardon for ST players he would be an ideal fit, and someone they could mold to replace Urlacher/Briggs in a few years or maybe play opposite Briggs.

    I simply love this OLB class for us. It's one of the more athletic and deep 4-3 classes to come out in a while. Bradham is a very good prospect and I have to think that even though we have added veteran depth there, Emery is looking at it in the same way I am. We have the luxury of veterans in-house now, but still are in a position where taking a shot on value anywhere in the draft in the hopes they can find gold and secure the position's future early could make him look genius in a years time. It's the exact same thing with the OG class, IMHO. You could go either way with those positions because of the players we currently control, but that future security could trump current solidity elsewhere if we find the right guys.

    He didn't lead with his head in that video. With his foot on the ground he planted a shoulder into the guy and he didn't move an inch after contact. That kid is strong. He got hosed on that call big time. It was legal hit but the refs are so shy about letting anything go when a guy get's hurt that he got flagged.

    My god that was a hit if I saw one and it was clean as hell. My blood started to boil just watching that. If I were him I would have grabbed the ref by the back of his shirt and forced him to watch the replay that was right n front of him... Nigel a freak and I'd love to add hIm nowwwwwww

    The play you are referring to was beautiful. But that wasn't what I was referring to when I said he leads with his helmet too much.

    The point, though, is that Bradham has been penalized multiple times for infractions like collisions to the helmet of defenseless players. Outside of that, this guy is fearless and an absolute warrior. If Babich and Marinelli can coach him out of those bad habits, I would look into taking him.

    Exactly what was said about Jon Beason coming out and that proved to be a measure of his heart and willingness which translated to All-Pro play.
