We need to go ahead and grab Garrett Bradbury, C, NC State with our first pick. He's being touted as everything from an automatic starter at C to a 10-year All Pro at the position. We need a replacement for Kalil the Greater right now and Bradbury would be just the guy to do it. Read Bucky Brook's take on the guy who is moving up a lot of draft boards.

Bradbury could sneak into the top-10. Even at 16, I only take him if DE and SAF are off the board. Guy is going to be an instant plug n' play OL for a decade, but there are guys in the 2nd and maybe even early 3rd that have franchise potential. I'd rather get one of the DL or Thompson. Hard for me to take a C in R1.

It always depends on who else is available but given the DL/edge rusher talent in this class and our massive need there and the highest positional value, the board would have to fall very unkindly for us for me to be happy with Bradbury at 16 and that would only be after vigorous efforts to find a partner to trade down. Centers almost never go as high as #16.

We have greater needs and frankly he doesnt fit our scheme as well as Jenkins does at 47. Most think Jenkins is better as a mauler and Bradbury as a zone blocker. Honestly, I'd rather sign Denver's Center so we can concentrate on DE, OT, OG and DT in the first 4 picks.

Has a center ever gone top 10?

Yeah I'm not drafting a C in the 1st round.. That's a luxury pick when you have no other needs.. Which isn't us.. Ppl need to look at positional value when making opinions..

I can't necessarily agree that you can't draft a C in the first round. There have been some very good centers drafted in the first. That said, 16 is really high for a center. If we are that sold as a team on snagging him, trade down.

I feel like one of the guys Dallas drafted or someone was a C/G coming in and went top-10....maybe I'm confusing it. San Diego.... Baltimore? I forget. 

I'm drinking at the airport, so maybe I made that up. haha.

The only interior OL in the last two decades or so that I can recall going top ten both went in the same draft a few years back. Johnathan Cooper and Chance Warmack. Both OGs, both busts.

It's okay, they laughed at me when I said CMC was going to be our first round draft pick two years ago.

 

Ppl knew we were looking at RB .. Whether it was Lenard or Cmac.. So I don't know why you're acting like Nostradamus.. Still a top 5 RB has more effect and positional value than a Center..

Eh....not sure I would agree. RB's are getting to be a dime a dozen in the NFL anymore.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Or its more likely coordinators got film on him and turned the screws

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I'm too lazy to make my own format so I am stealing yours.  Week 1: Sept. 8 at New Orleans  (W) 17-6 Running game and Derek Carr having a horrible opener gets the win. Week 2: Sept 15 vs. Los Angeles Chargers (L) 24-10 Hype from Week 1 goes away when Harbaugh and Herbert show up. Week 3: Sept 22 at Las Vegas  (W) 16-13 Complete defensive struggle but Panthers win on last minute FG.  Week 4: Sept. 29 vs. Cincinnati  (L) 30-13 Score is actually worse but Panthers score in garbage time. Week 5: Oct. 6 at Chicago (L) 21-10 Horrible performance by Bryce in a winnable game and even his fans start to think he's not it, press conference questions get worse and calls for benching intensifies.  Week 6: Oct. 13 vs. Atlanta (L) 20-17 Running game becomes 70% of offense to help Bryce, it works but can't get job done at the end. Week 7: Oct. 20 at Washington  (W) 21-14 Running game/defensive comes through; Bryce does okay. Week 8: Oct. 27 at Denver (L) 27-7 Complete offensive collapse. Week 9: Nov. 3 vs. New Orleans (L) 30-24 Saints keep shooting themselves in the foot but we provide them a turnover-fest and they come back in the 2nd half.  Week 10: Nov. 10 vs. N.Y. Giants (Munich, Germany) (L) 24-6 Worse offensive performance of our season. Week 11: Nov. 17 BYE Week 12: Nov. 24 vs. Kansas City (L) 34-31 OT Dalton takes over for Bryce to try to salvage season. Plays close game; gives team a slight bump. Week 13: Dec. 1 vs. Tampa Bay (W) 28-27 Dalton has nice game. Canales beats his former team in a stunner.  Week 14: Dec 8 at Philadelphia (L) 27-14 Tough crowd, tough game, run out of gas in the 4th.  Week 15: Dec: 15 vs. Dallas (L) 31-24 This will be out "worse officiated game of the year." and we will all accuse the NFL of trying to get the Cowboys in the postseason. Week 16: Dec. 22 vs. Arizona (W) 26-10 Solid win by Dalton and co.  Week 17: Dec. 29 at Tampa Bay (W) 12-10 Canales sweeps his former team and knocks them out of the postseason in an absolute rain fest. Week 18: Jan. 4 or 5 at Atlanta (L) 28-20 Close game but Atlanta holds us off.    Panthers finish 6-11. Dalton's mediocre performance shows just how bad Young really was. Panthers start the search for the next QB.

      Want to see something crazy?  Look in Bryce stats after Dallas game.  They parked Bryce and told him to play conservative. Bryce first 9 games: 9 TDs, 8 Int, ~1,600 total yards.   Bryce last 8 games: 2 TD, 2 Int, ~1,600 total yards.  With just 1 game over 200 yards passing.  If you remove that game… Bryce is 0 TDs, 2 Int, and 1,300 total yards in 7 games. Just disaster the way the handled him.  Dude regressed as the season went on.  He took zero chance.  Just stayed in the pocket and got pounded.
