Sooners' QB Sam Bradford "Expected to Return to OU"

in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Offseason

Update Weds. PM: It's official. Bradford is coming back to OU for another season.
Despite previous rumors that he would enter the NFL draft, Oklahoma Sooners QB and Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford will apparently head back to school for another year. Smart guy.
Quarterback Sam Bradford is expected to announce that he will return to Oklahoma next season, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad.
Bradford will apparently announce his decision in a couple of hours, at 4:30 PM central time.
Offensive tackle Trent Williams, who said Wednesday that he would return to the Sooners next season, said he believes Bradford will return.
"My gut feeling is that Sam is coming back," said Williams, who spoke with Bradford. "The entire state may be very happy."
That makes Georgia QB Matt Stafford pretty much the #1 QB recruit in this class. Somebody will bite high on Stafford and my prediction is that they will get burned. Without Bradford, the Kansas City Chiefs will almost assuredly not go after a 1st round quarterback in this year's draft.
So, if Bradford isn't in the equation, I say we have to be looking to trade down. With who? Now I'm not sure. And I know that's easier said than done.

Can't agree with him
While I don’t know all the details, I just don’t see the point. He’s projected to be a top 10 pick which is boatloads of guaranteed money. He could get injured at any time without any guaranteed money. Just don’t get it.
Me either
I dont get it why not take the millions and run . But honestly i dont know if that guy is ready for the nfl . Nfl is another beast than college ball.
Maybe he doesn't want to go to the Lions

Maybe
Although the thought of having Calvin Johnson as your primary receiver has got to be a tempting one.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.
Maybe he wants his education first?
Fewer athletes actually seem to be choosing that route these days. Let’s see, does Brodie Croyle have his degree? He may very well need to fall back on it sooner than he thought.
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
The draft pundits were saying the same about Peyton, Eli, Matt Ryan
when they all decided to return for their senior seasons.
Money is not everything. Great decision! SMART KID.

So
If the Lions go with Matt Stafford, that means that the Chiefs will end up going lineman or linebacker for the draft. Interesting. I like Oher, Monroe or Maualuga for that pick. I don’t think that there are any defensive linemen who aren’t a reach at number 3.
I don’t think we’ll trade down…the top five picks almost never do.

I Know
It’s going to be a really interesting draft for the Chiefs. I can’t wait to see who they get. Fucking April gets here too slowly. :)

No crap
I wish we could fast forward and i wish we could just add extra games instead of preseason that is a waste of time .
Agreed
Preseason is such a circle jerk.

Good
He looks like he is 12 maybe 12 and a half years old. He needs to put some meat on his bones.
Blame my wife!
combine
Is where a lot of so called players will lose some steam we could still end up with stafford
I Hope Not
I think he’s a reach at that pick and there are so many other holes to fill. I’d rather the Chiefs went line or linebacker then grabbed Graham Harrell or someone else in the second or third round.

I dont think i would be to unhappy with a top oline man in the draft it would pay off for years
It's A Great Position To Build From
And skimping on it can cripple your team for years.
If you have a rotten defensive line then your defense will suck for that year. If you have a rotten offensive line, it can cripple your team for many years because it can get your QB killed and it usually takes a few years to develop a new one, assuming you’re lucky enough to find one with the talent to develop. That’s a large part of what’s killed Herm Edwards, his unwillingness to build good o-lines and take care of his QBs.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.
We're agreeing on something.
Stop that.
Herm Edwards is Clark Hunt's guy. Herm and Carl forced Clark to choose between their differing visions on how to rebuild the Chiefs, and we all see who got their walking papers. Herm's going to be walking the sidelines at Arrowhead in 2009, and possibly even beyond, no matter who the new General Manager is.
All Part Of My Evil Master Plan
Charm, then betray. :)
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.
It's almost impossible to trade down...
with such a high pick. If he’s still there at #3, take Andre Smith to bookend with Albert. He’s a sure thing…and when you’re paying out on the contract the #3 overall pick will get, you want to be sure about the money you’re spending.
I would be happy with either Painter or Davis in Round 2.

That's Not A Horrible Deal
The talent pool at the top is big enough that we’ll get a great player, we’ll just end up paying a little less for them.

I Would Love Bookend Tackles
But don’t forget about Maualuga. He’s the closest thing I’ve seen to Junior Seau to come out of USC since, well, Junior Seau.

ya
that guy would be a nice fit and he will hit the ground running for sure he is a beast i question his speed though ? could be wrong i dont know. i really wasnt sold on michael oher. dont think he has it just yet my opinion.
Seau Was Picked Third In His Draft
And I think the Chargers would say he was well worth it.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.
Oh yeah
He would be a great fit for a massive hole. I keep hearing LB is a reach for the 3rd pick but nobody’s been able to convince me of that yet.

It Depends On The Linebacker
If you had the third pick and Derrick Thomas, Lawrence Taylor, Junior Seau, Dick Butkus, Ray Nitschke, or any other great talent fell in your lap, you’d kind of have to be an idiot to pass up on it.
Some positions have more value than others in the draft, but some talents transcend positions as well. There are no absolutes in drafting.

Hell yes!!!
The news keeps getting better and better this week. At this rate, I expect to wake up tomorrow to learn that Missoura has legalized the ganja.
Proud to be a part of the Conference of Champions and their complete bowl season domination.
a RT at #3???????
that just doesn’t make sense to me. or else we are planning on moving Albert to RT or some other position on the line. I have a feeling we will look to LB if the draft was held now. I like Maualuga a lot. I also am intrigued by Aaron curry. Don’t really know much about him but he is an OLB with great instincts and physical ability. Also i have heard he might be able to play rush end in a 3-4 alignment.
If we take LT
I think Albert goes back to gaurd. Sez me at least
Proud to be a part of the Conference of Champions and their complete bowl season domination.
then your saying we used a top 15 pick on a Guard
granted its a new regime but i was awfully happy the way Albert performed his first year at LT, considering it was his first year to play that position. We definately need to address the O-line this ddraft, just in later rounds.
I agree...
I’d rather take Malaluga in round one and Alex Mack in round 2. I’m just saying, if a LT is taken I think Albert moves back to gaurd.
Proud to be a part of the Conference of Champions and their complete bowl season domination.
cal
the center from cal was very impressive in the bowl game some mock drafts have us picking him up that would be sweet he impressed me big time he has awsome speed and good foot work and he opens pretty good holes and drives guys out the way and finishes every play
alex mack or duke robinson
if we could get one of those in the early second that would be great
rudy
is that guy worth keeping i mean i know he got killed at center but could be put him at guard or no way?
Who's To Say Albert Stays At LT?
He’s paid like a good RT and could probably adjust to the position if we decided whoever we drafted had more upside. Then we could pay the new LT like a LT and not screw ourselves.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.
That Would Be 3/5 Of A Very Good Line
LT – Oher/Monroe
LG – Waters
C – ?
RG – ?
RT – Albert
If we could find a starting caliber guard or center in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th round then we could have one hell of a line next season.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.
agree there
but from what ive heard Oher is slipping, Smith is projected a RT, and Monroe isn’t a top 5 talent.
Tough To Tell Until The Combines
And Pioli does seem to have some success finding good linemen outside of the first round, so we’ll see.
If Bradford’s off the table, though, I still want Maualuga first. I think that guy’s going to be amazing.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.
Which means Maualuga or Crabtree or the only ones worthy of a #3
Although we don’t “need” a #1 WR… but having Bowe and Crabtree AND Gonzo that would be great. Reason I add Crabtree is because I don’t think any other Olinemen are worth the #3 pick. Crabtree I tell you will – Fitzgerald pretty much. But we’ll have to see what FA brings us. Pioli has been known to trade down and get more value that way. We need DE, LB (a couple!), DT, and RT,G, C. We need another great WR. Bradley? Hmmm.. would like another still.
Aaron Curry
I was hoping someone has some info on the guy. he has been really jumping up draft boards. I saw the chiefs taking him on one mock.
He is a beast from what people are saying .
6-3 247 and runs a 4-6

AFC West Champs in 2009? Mayyybee.
People Were Saying The Same Thing About Jake Long For The Top Pick
And I’d argue that he was worth it for the Dolphins. LT is a tough position to fill, and if you can find one who’ll be an anchor for you for the next 5-6 years you have to consider them.
Herm Edwards will not be the Chiefs' head coach next season.
Damn straight!
Having Albert as another proven option at LT doesn’t suck from an assurance standpoint. But the question becomes, is Oher or Monroe talented enough to consider burning the pick on? Comparitively speaking with all other available options.
Man I hope Pioli is as good as we all think he is.
macklin from mizzou
is coming out for the draft….i dont know when he is suppose to go in the draft though…?
Oher, Oher, Oher
All the way. Wouldn’t be dissapointed with Monroe or Smith, but Oher is money in the bank
by KansasCityShuffle on Jan 14, 2009 2:56 PM CST up reply actions
im not sold
not sold on oher in his bowl game he was getting beat not giving up sacks but he was not mauling guys like jake long or albert. Im not sold on that guy. And he has a questionable back round .
Hold it people, I'll take this one
exactly what is questionable about Oher’’s background?
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
It's one thing to knock on his play
but this young man, has a great background, one everyone on here should be proud of. I personally know another player who is his teammate at Ole Miss this year and he says Oher is nothing but a great person. I don’t think this site is intended for starting rumors.

He came back his senior year
because he KNEW he had things to work on and improve. This is great work ethic and a lot of QB’s do this because they’ll get eaten alive at the next level, but Oher could have adapted but he still chose to do the right thing. He’s a kid of good character and integrity, he would be a great fit for the Chiefs. Behind the mold of Shields & Waters

I just seen a special on the guy it was touching but I dont want to get to the super bowl one day and the guy blows a fuse just need to check in the backround if that happens to be the case . I dont think anyone here wants to blow a top pick on a guy give him tons of cash if he has issues
oher
he had a rough child hood no real mother . Im not saying the guy is a pac man but dealing with all those issues are definatly going to have to be evaluated.
What issues?
You think he hates his mother? There is something I am missing.

He might have some mental issues if you are abondoned by ur mother i would think thats pretty tough maybe someone should look into it
info on oher
Oher’s father was not involved in his upbringing (and was murdered when he was a junior in high school), and his mother was addicted to crack cocaine. As a result, he received little constructive attention during his formative years

. He repeated both first grade and second grade, and attended eleven different schools during his first nine years as a student. He also alternated between time spent in various foster homes and periods with no fixed address until he was sixteen years old

I agree with this
If we have to find players at C and RG with Oher/Monroe/Davis, Waters and Albert, I think our line will be just fine.
Herm Edwards - the new Art Shell.
albert
he gives us good options we basically can get who we want and move him around he can do it all.
Agreed
Albert really was a great pick for us. He’s got us set at LT if we need him there, but if we find a good LT in the draft his versatility keeps us from being anchored to that and we can move him elsewhere.

I lhave to admit
I like the Albert & Monroe reunion

I like all 3 of the top tackles
but Monroe has great feet, and considering the fact that we know how good Albert is, and he couldn’t beat out Monroe at LT, that should say something about him. I have read some glowing scouting reports on him so I think he would be a good player. With QB off the board, I think we should build the line.
I think the Chiefs scouting department (pre-Pioli)
were high on Monroe and if any T he would be our choice
by KansasCityShuffle on Jan 14, 2009 3:06 PM CST up reply actions
spend less and get a RT
Why would you want to spend more money and a higher pick for a LT, when we have one? How much better would one of these guys be? Not saying we hit the jackpot, but we know what we have with Alberts. Drafting another Trezelle would not be good.
o line man
would be great for years but remember we still have free agency to figure out who we will get in the
draft .
Not A Great FA Class For O-Linemen

Yes but...
We were running the spread which is easier for them. Especially when the are in the shot gun or pistol 85% of the time.
AFC West Champs in 2009? Mayyybee.
And
The spread may very well not be here next season. So guys like McIntosh (who’s getting old anyway) are not going to be able to have their weaknesses masked like before.
And the Chiefs also had the 25th ranked offense, so the line wasn’t that good.

Macintosh might be a decent guard
If we get a top notch OT, we have that we should have had before losing Tait,

I Wasn't Sticking Up For McIntosh
But he was less horrific in the spread than he was in the loser ball offense to start the season (like in the Atlanta game, where Abraham ate him alive). If the spread goes away, McIntosh goes from being a below-average RT back to being a really horrible RT. Either way, he does need to be replaced next season, which is why I’m saying taking a LT in round one (and moving Albert to RT) wouldn’t be a bad thing.

crutch
Dude i dont know if it was just me but i think the oline maybe getting a litte to much props i mean the protection seemed good cuz we were in shot gun once we tried to run we had nothing i think we really are hiding the flaws in our line we need to upgrade in my opinion if you cant score on the one yard line ur in trouble
I'd drop
Jones, Wade Smith, Carnahan. Keep Macintosh as reserve (due to his stupid contract). Keep Taylor, let Pioli decide on Richardsons development, move Niswanger to backup. And draft a new RT & C

Gholston blew everyone’s minds, too. He was insanely athletic. A freak of nature. Huge speed. Big. Fast. Strong. Explosive.
If I’m not mistaken, both Tamba Hali and Jason Babin racked up more sacks than he did. Heck, any player that recorded a sack this past season racked up more sacks than Gholston did, and he only managed 13 tackles in 15 games.

Beware The Workout Wonders
I think Orakpo’s probably a better player than Gholston, but on the other hand if it’s predicated on athleticism every year there’s some guy who blows away the scouts with his “measurables” who ends up being a bust.

It's The Player, Not The School
The guy had attitude problems but Katzenmoyer’s problems were the result of injury, not talent, and Ohio State’s turned out some good players as well. Chris Spielman was an outstanding linebacker, Mike Vrabel’s had a great career, and A.J. Hawk’s is looking very promising. Plenty of talented NFL players came out of that school.

Everyone is high on taking QBs in the first round because of Matt Ryan.
9 times out of 10 though this is a bad idea. Now with Bradford out of the picture, we can focus on what this team really needs. When a team has as many holes as the Chiefs the possibilities are almost endless. I would be ecstatic if we took Rey Malalugua, James Laurinitias, Brian Orakpo, Andre Smith, Arron Curry, or maybe even Michael Crabtree (although I’m not convinced). These are all awesome players the Chiefs would be very lucky to have.

There was no move in professional sports dumber than the Herschel Walker trade. Worst trade ever in the history of everything.

That's a tough one
Top 5 picks are really hard to deal out of. Put a rookie salary cap in place and you’d get something good for it.
I’d be surprised if LJ nets much more than a 4th or 5th rounder.
We should keep LJ for one more year.
He has proven this past year that he can still play. He and the O-line got better as the year progressed. He finished with a 4.5 ypc for the year for crying out loud. I admit his off the field issues are a major liability but let’s not be hasty. He is still a Pro Bowl caliber ’Back.
I have mixed emotions about that but
I’m sorta in agreement with this. His shit attitude and $8 million+ paycheck doesn’t make him very attractive to other teams. We take the cap hit either way so we might as well put someone on baby-sitting duty and get the most out of him. There’s no denying he can be productive. I’d hate to waste the resourse on a replacement and eat the cap hit too.
I really wish he wasn’t such a bastard.
What about Aaron Maybin?
Does anyone know if he’s coming out this year? If so, he is hands-down the best pass rusher. He’s got speed.
