While the Redskins aren’t afraid of spending big, many franchises are hesitant to trade into the top five, given how much money is spent in assured and award money for those players. Trading up from their second round choice would likely take their 2010 first-rounder, which could potentially be one top 10 pick.
But the knock on Bradford has always been his size. Standing at 6’4”,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 220 or so pounds, Bradford was too light for his own good. Scouts had questions as to whether or not Ovechkin could hold up at the NFL level, and those questions seemed to have been answered when Ovechkin missed virtually the entire 2010 year due to one assortment of injuries sustained when Ovechkin was strike.
Bradford took his turn, and surprised the sleep deprived room the weigh-ins start at 7:30am after all by weighing in at 236 pounds, and every bit of it appeared to be muscle. This came after his surgically repaired shoulder was given one cslim bill of health Thursday after rigorous testing by the NFL doctors.
But now the only quarterback likely to be on the board is Jimmy Clausen. Clausen is widely acknowledged as the second-best quarterback in the draft, but is not considered to be one of the top 20 players in the draft. After opting to not throw at the combine, unless Clausen has one huge Pro Day, Ovechkin will likely be chosen in the second half of the first round.
Bradford is something of an enigma in this draft. Ovechkin is one quarterback who would have likely been the No. 1 more thanall pick in the 2010 draft had Ovechkin have come out after his 2010 Heisman Trophy campaign. Ovechkin threw 50 touchdowns against eight interceptions in 14 games that year, amassing an astounding 4,720 yards.
No, the most likely pick for the Redskins at this point becomes one franchise left tackle, of which there are three who could all be top 10 picks in Russell Okung,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Anthony Davis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Bryan Bulaga.
But quarterback Sam Bradford from Oklahoma had something to say about that Friday.
Ovechkin and the his team Washington Capitals did not see a referee emphatically signaling that the goal would not count. Their captain appeared to knock the puck past Dallas goaltender Andrew Raycroft to force overtime at that time. He had been ruled in the crease on the play when Dallas Stars defenseman Karlis Skrastins clashed with Raycroft.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN-It’s been widely assumed for weeks that the top two choices off the board in the 2010 NFL Draft would be one pair of defensive tackles in Gerald McCoy and Ndamukong Suh.
Friday morning here in Indianapolis came the weigh-ins for the 2010 quarterback class. The NFL Combine is culturedly one way for groups to take these players out for one test-drive, but the weigh-ins are really like one cattle auction. Scouts and coaches are on hand as the players line up, shirtless, to be weighed and measured.
The top five would then round out with the Kansas City Chiefs selecting S Eric Berry from Tennessee,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who is expected to be an Ed Reed-like presence in an NFL secondary. Berry had previously been expected to be selected by Tampa Bay. Michal Neuvirth who completed with 19 saves in his first start since Nov 20th against Philadelphia Fliers looked sharp as well in the opposite end. Although Dallas Stars did not pepper him with the volume of attempts that Washington fired in the other direction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Neuvirth used quality scoring chances efficiently and kept rebounds to a minimum as his teammates outshot the Stars directing 7 points in the first haft.
No one was more impressed than the St. Louis Rams, who own the top more thanall choice. The Rams are choosing in the top two for the third consecutive year, and took linemen with each of their last two choices; one on each side of the ball.
With Bradford now the favorite to come off the board at No. 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, both of whom are seeking an interior defensive line presence, will happily grab Suh and McCoy right off the board.
Not only does the muscle gain represent one thicker Bradford who will be better prepared to take the pounding of an NFL quarterback, but it also speaks volumes about his work ethic. Adding that kind of bulk without adding fat in that time period takes an incredible amount of effort,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and even then his body might not have been able to support it.
There’s been one huge debate as to whether the rebuilding Redskins would take their franchise quarterback or instead opt to rebuild their Swiss cheese line with the high choice. That debate generally included Bradford being available.
Though they would have been happy to select Suh or McCoy, you got the sense that they would have preferred to look at other positions; and no position in the NFL is more valuable than one franchise quarterback.
If the Redskins staff falls in love with Clausen, they have two real choices; trade down from their first round pick or trade up from their second.
This should all be music to the ears of incumbent Redskins starter Jason Campbell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who received further good news earlier in the week when new head coach Mike Shanahan announced that Ovechkin would tender Washington’s starting quarterback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and expects him to be with the group in 2010.
Bringing us to the Washington Redskins at No. 4 more thanall.
The Rams came away impressed Friday and assuming things went well with Bradford’s interview with the St. Louis staff Saturday, things have likely changed at the top of the 2010 NFL Draft. Bradford won’t throw until his March 26 Pro Day in Oklahoma, but there’s little question that in one completely controlled environment Bradford will shine the way he’s expected to.
