so are all those combine freaks amazing prospects now
ur judged by what you do on film, not on what you do just throwing to wide open recievers in shorts
Bradford is the only QB to ever have a flawless combine...not a single dropped pass...he was literally better than any other QB prospect to ever show there.
Its going to be hilarious when Luck isn't prime Peyton Manning right away and all you retards declare him a bust...while Bradford shines.
Bradford didn't throw at the combine, though I assume you're talking about his standout pro day. Luck and Bradford can both be great QB's, I'm not sure why one has to succeed and the other has to fail here. I like Bradford, the Rams struggles are not his fault, but Luck looks to be on another level. Just watch him play and you won't be disappointed.

julio and aj two of the best wide receivers period in their rookie years. aj has been way more consistent but julio had a HUGE game yesterday. these guys are both absolute studs, but i like AJs consistency/ability to make very tough catches over the middle/etc.
Let's not just look at Jones and his potential, but what they gave up to us and the potential of those picks. I know that the Browns are not a glamour team, so their pieces aren't as well known, but let's discuss.
The Browns gave up Julio Jones.
They got, in exchange...
1. Phil Taylor - He is a DT who has looked absolutely dynamite in the newly installed 4-3 defense. He and Rubin could be a force in the middle for years to come in a conference wherein, if you aren't strong up the middle of your defense, you might as well not show up.
2. Greg Little - Shows a lot of promise. He is coming back from a year off of football and you can see some of the rust at times, but you can also see the potential. He has all of the physical tools to be a very good receiver in this league.
3. Owen Marecic - Fullback who I expected more out of, honestly. However, our West Coast Offense is still a work in progress and he was brought in to be that kind of WCO fullback. In time, this might end up being a real asset. Time will tell.
Upcoming picks...
Atlanta's first-rounder in 2012 - Quite honestly... As much as I am excited about Taylor's great start and his potential down the line, this may be the best part of that trade. The 2012 draft is going to be absolutely loaded. It is being hailed as the best in a long, long time.
We are the only team in the league with two first round picks. On top of that, I think everyone expected this to be a late-round pick and it still may be, but the Falcons are 2-3 right now and they have a very difficult schedule for the remainder of the season.
This could end up being a Top 15 pick and, if it is, celebrations will ensue in Cleveland.
Atlanta's fourth-rounder in 2012 - We all know that impact players can be found anywhere in the draft and GMs tend to hold on to picks in the first four rounds as if their lives depended on it. Well, now we have two fourth-rounders, as well. These could be used to sure-up a roster that is in construction or packaged to move up and attain an additional third-rounder or even a second-rounder, if Holmgren and Heckert are sure on a prospect.
Honestly, I don't care how good Julio ends up... This was a great deal. We aren't in the position of our rebuild to expect one guy to fix things. We had too many holes to fill and the Falcons -- believing that they were one piece away -- may have been just what the doctor ordered.
On top of all that, if we end up with Justin Blackmon next year, which is what I'm hoping with one of our first two picks, I feel that we have the better receiver of the two, anyway.
Blackmon looks like Greg Jennings 2.0 to me. This class is deep and filled with talent, across the board.
pretty much is but i still like aj green. they both have their different strengths and most teams would kill to get one of them. both are on the cusp of elite, it not already there. of course, a lot of green's success depends on dalton being as good as he was last season. i don't think anybody is going to argue that dalton is in the same league as ryan. there were quite a few times last season where dalton underthrew green
