Sam Bradford says he will enter NFL Draft
Sam Bradford plans to enter the 2010 NFL Draft. Sam, did your brain get hurt along with your shoulder?
It's pretty clear that Sam Bradford should have gone pro after last season. Mainly because some of the questions about him were, could he add some more muscle and could he survive the beating he might take at the NFL level?

As you well know, both those questions have been answered this season, neither one going Bradford's way.

But anyway, despite all that, Bradford plans on heading into the 2010 Draft, after he gets surgery done on his shoulder. That's, um, never a good thing to have done before you enter the Draft (even though Bradford's injury is not career-threatening at all).

Now, some of you may say, well, it looks right now like 2010 will be an uncapped year in the NFL, so Bradford might actually make MORE money by coming out now than if he stays in school another year and comes out in 2010.

But seriously, would you throw $30 million guaranteed at Bradford right now? I sure as hell wouldn't. In fact, Adam Schefter has already said that regardless of what happens with the labor negotiations, Bradford has probably cost himself at least $10 million in guaranteed money. I agree completely.

I mean, it's your choice Sam, but I think you're making a bad one.

What do you suggest he does? Stay in school for yet another year and risk hurting his draft stock more?

If he can still get $20 million guaranteed (which is what you say Schefter suggests he can get), then why not take that? $20 million is $20 million. He doesn't have to play at all the rest of this season, he doesn't have to play in college for another year, and his draft stock might have fallen enough that he gets drafted by a team in the late first round (which we all know means he goes to a better team).

This is a huge risk, but I wonder if another year of potential mediocrity at Oklahoma would really make people forget how good he was last year.

Bradford is making the right decision by going pro.  Bradford is most likely going in 1st round still or at worst an early second round pick.  If he would go back, he wouldn't have Gresham, Brown, and Williams .  Also, what would happen if Bradford got hurt again, especially early on in the season?

He better save himself now, while he is still a projected 1st rounder. He would have been top 5 if he would have went in last year, now this upcoming year top 25.

 It is the only decision...Just look at the QB's in the NFL...Jamarcus Russell, Matt Cassel, the Browns, Alex Smith, the list goes on and on for guys who get paid millions for doing absolutely nothing...Some team will take a chance on him...and he will get paid.

Oddly enough Bradford consulted with Alex Smith about his shoulder problems and surgery before he decided to go under the knife himself.

But I think this will all depend on how he looks at the combine/workouts after he heals. If he looks good, he'll have a shot at going in the first round. If he looks off, he's looking at 2nd or even 3rd round.

Just by Bradford coming back this year, gave his linemen a note of confidence. He knew the risk involved and he stated he always wanted to play at Oklahoma, it says a lot for the man.These days a man's word is all he has and Bradford lived up to his.Fans are fickle as long as we win no problem lose and fans want to leave/ turn their back on OU.
