Mock Draft - Pick # 1

What’s more speculative than an NFL mock draft? Nothing. So here’s an exercise in the unoriginal.

1. Rams – Sam Bradford, QB – Oklahoma
So here’s something unprovable to say about this pick: Sam Bradford feels like a franchise quarterback. He seems really intelligent (but not in Joey Harrington’s introspective, lame kind of way), confident (but not in a retarded Ryan Leaf kind of way), and like a really normal guy (in a guy you know that happens to be a world class athlete kind of way). Analysts always talk about how accurate and smart he is. As opposed to Jamarcus Russell, where they always remark about his cannon arm and this is crucial. Cannon arm guys seem much riskier than accurate guys. Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Phil Rivers were all ‘quetionable arm strength’ QB’s. Intuitively, it seems like accurate guys will lose less games overall. Obviously, Cade McNown and Tim Couch are homeless at this moment, but it seems like an overall reality.
