RD 4, Pick #105: LB Nigel Bradham - FSU


SDS

Those who believe that NFL teams don't go by BPA are being willfully ignorant. There are multiple examples of NFL personnel stating that they go by BPA directly.

Green Bay has arguably the best offense in the league. They needed defensive help across the board. Their first three picks were a pass rushing end, a strong DT and a DB. I guess they just lucked out that no offensive players were the BPA on their board. Or that at the time of their pick in the second, it wasn't another DE that was BPA. Or in the third, it wasn't a DE or DT. :wallbash:

I remember that play and thought he got a raw deal on the penalty and expulsion. Was watching the game with two asst coaches at Northwestern and they thought it was a "technically perfect neutering." THat receiver wouldn't have the balls to reach for an overhead pass the rest of the game.

Why did he get booted after that hit against the U? Led perfectly with the shoulder right as the ball was getting there! Looks like a big hitter around the ball a lot. Sam Cowart worked out pretty well from FSU, let's hope Nigel is similar.

20 year FSU fan here. Got to watch every game last year. NB is extremely talented and should have been a first rounder but with a few scheme changes and his own knucklehead behavior it cost him. He's a big hitter and has a nose for the ball. Very instinctual but a little stiff. Does not sift thru the trash well, he is 1 st round talent when you combine all the positives, can be Cowart 2.0 but faster and bigger.

The Bills needed help on defense (linebackers and secondary) and on offense (offensive tackle and wide receiver). They have drafted to fill these needs so far. The remaining question is how good are these players?

 

Nobody knows at this point.

 

Draft grades should be broken into two parts. Part 1 answers the question, "How well did the draft fill specific needs?"

Part 2 answers the question, "How well did the draft improve the team over the next several years?"

 

The Bills seem to be doing well on part 1 so far. However, part 2 (the most important part!) remains to be seen and won't be known for years.
