OK -- how did Oklahoma ever lose?

[Pooker]

Four guys in the top 22 -- that is sick.

TE missed the entire season and Bradford only played in 3 games.

What was the excuse in 2009? Too young?

Takes time to learn the "system"

 

[LG210]

Yeah--they definitely had talent.

I'm not sure I would have picked Bradford if I were St. Louis. That is a lot of money to spend on a throwing shoulder that was injured twice.

Um, they were in the national championship. They didn't do too bad

Oklahoma gets it done with talent at skill positions. Those are usually top picks. Lineman usually go later. That's where Iowa's picks usually come from.

I wouldn't have taken Bradford, or any QB for that matter. QB is the singular most important position. But while it's the most important piece of the puzzle, it's the last piece of the puzzle. Bradford has shown a lack of durability when he gets hit, and in St. Louis, he's going to get hit a lot. He also has almost no experience in pressure situations. And the few opportunities that he did have, he lost. Is that really a quality you want in a franchise QB at #1 overall?

They had the best Sun Bowl team ever this year.
