Stanford's WR Mark Bradford.


Recommended Posts

His stats look to be a bit underwhelming until you look at his Stanford's Pro Day. His familiarity with Trent could come into play. The size is there and he might be a safety net in the late rds that none of us are expecting.

Height: 6-03/4 | Weight: 211 | 40-Time: 4.68

 

Weaknesses:

Timed speed is well below average...Is not very explosive and lacks a burst...Not a deep threat and won't stretch the field vertically...

 

Notes:

..His lack of speed is a huge concern but he definitely has some physical tools to work with and he also does all the little things...

 

then runs 40 in 4.49 and 4.55 in the pro day, whoa!

3rd rounder. I actually liked the other stanford WR better, the 6'7" Evan Moore -- at least in college. Evan was a very good WR when healthy.

 

I'd like to see them bring in Moore in UDFA and make a TE out of him. He's slow for a WR, but tall and fast for a TE. Would need to bulk up, though--I think he's like 235.

hahaha 3rd hahahaha, kid will be lucky to get drafted

 

ESPN has him rated as the 30th best receiver in the draft. If Edwards knows him maybe use a 7th rounder unless he's real close to Edwards and would come here as a FA anyway.

 

 

Mark Bradford

WR | (6'0", 210, 4.599) | STANFORD

 

Scouts Grade: 44

 

Flags: (D: DURABILITY) Player that can't stay healthy

 

Strengths: Possesses adequate height and is well built. Very fluid athlete that gets in and out of his cuts without losing much in transition. A smooth, crafty route runner with good instincts and awareness. Does a fine job of setting up DB's one-on-one and also has a knack for finding soft spots in zone coverage. He can pluck on the run and displays reliable hands overall. Adjusts well to the poorly thrown ball and can catch passes thrown over his head. Good vertical leap and will win more than his share of jump balls. He shows some wiggle in space and will make the first defender miss on a consistent basis. Gives a very good effort as a blocker and flashes the ability to sustain. Great intangibles and coaches love his work ethic.

 

Weaknesses: Lack of top-end speed limits his big-play potential. He's not a threat to get over the top of DB's one-on-one and he doesn't show much of a second-gear after the catch. He has had injury issues throughout his career and suffered a season-ending foot injury in the second game (San Jose State) of 2006.

 

Overall: Bradford appeared in 34 games (30 starts) in his first four seasons at Stanford (2003-'06), hauling in 118 receptions for 1,789 yards (15.2 average) and 11 touchdowns. He suffered a season-ending foot injury in the Cardinal's second game in 2006 and received a medical redshirt. In 2007, he played all 12 games and grabbed 51 receptions for 642 yards and three touchdowns. He also had a career seven rushing attempts for 57 yards. Bradford was also a member of Stanford's basketball team in 2003-'04 and left the squad shortly after the next season began to concentrate on football. Bradford was a two-sport athlete early in his career at Stanford, playing point guard for the basketball team for two seasons before electing to concentrate on football fulltime in December of 2004. He is a smooth athlete with good route-running skills and he finished strong down the stretch last year. However, his lack of ideal speed limits his NFL potential and though he stayed healthy last year, his injury history is still an issue so he projects as a sixth round pick.

Evan Moore

WR | (6'5", 233, 4.599) | STANFORD

 

Scouts Grade: 30

 

Strengths: Possesses very good size and frame for position. Uses frame and strength to effectively beat press coverage. Strong and absorbs bumps by defenders trying to knock him off his route. Also shows good ability to slide and find open area against zone coverage. Displays good body control and does a sound job of using big frame to shield defenders from ball. Also does a good job of high pointing the deep ball and fade routes. Is an effective run blocker using his size advantage to cover defenders up.

 

Weaknesses: Lacks elite top-end speed and isn't fast enough to run by defenders. Runs too high and lacks initial quickness coming off the line of scrimmage. Is tight in the hips and struggles to change directions quickly. Does not show adequate tempo with routes, does not possess suddenness and struggles to create adequate separation due to lack of burst out of breaks. Hands are inconsistent as he will drop routine catches at times. Does not possess the elusiveness to make defender miss, doesn't have break away speed and isn't much of a big-play threat after catch. Sustained a season-ending hip injury in 2005 and durability is a concern.

 

Overall: Moore contributed as a true freshman at Stanford (2003), with eight receptions for 150 yards (18.8 average) and a touchdown. He began to show huge potential as a sophomore (2004), finishing the season with 39 catches for 616 yards (15.8 average) and six touchdowns in 11 games (all starts). In 2005, he was on his way to a big game in the opener (three catches, 66 yards and a TD) when he suffered a dislocated hip that ended his season, leading to a medical redshirt year. In 2006, he had 14 receptions for 242 yards (17.3 average) and three touchdowns in eight games (five starts). As a fifth-year senior, Moore played in all 12 games (nine starts) and grabbed 39 catches for 481 yards (12.3 average) and a score. Shoulder and ankle injuries cost him the last three games of '03. He missed four games and was hampered in others by a stress fracture in his right foot in '06. Moore also was a reserve on the Cardinal basketball squad in 2003-04 and left the team midway through the 2004-05 season to concentrate on football. Moore is a one-speed receiver who is going to have problems getting open working against man coverage at the next level. Though he could move to tight end and he has the frame to comfortably bulk up, he would need to commit himself to the weight room because he isn't big enough to hold his own at tight end at this weight. With all of that in mind, Moore projects as a late-round pick or rookie free agent.
