Chisoxfn Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) Benson's interview after makes you feel a little less good about the pick but it's not a bad one. I do worry that Williams is going to really try to make Chicago and Minnesota big time victims for passing on him. I feel that they should go outside linebacker and I feel that they will. Lovie heavily hinted at that the other day. I think they will wait until the third for a reciever or move up into the end of the second if they really like someone. Angelo's drafts in the first have been questionable but he's done well in rounds 2-4 the last few years. Ya, the only knock I have on Benson is he sounds like a total freaking idiot. I heard him on ESPN and then he was on ESPN radio later in the day and again he sounded just totally stupid (imo). Then I heard Braylon Edwards on and god did he sound like a total stud. Same with Carnell Williams. Both just sound smart and like they know what they need to do. On the field though Benson was the best of the bunch. The guy is one of the all time best runners in collegiate football history. He's a total beast and can be a powerhouse. The Bears CB coach is also a former assistant at Texas and is familiar with Benson. If Benson has attitude problems I sure as hell believe and hope that the Bears CB coach would of said something about it. Assuming Benson signs and doesn't pull an Enis, he's got all the skills to be one hell of a back. And Bradley...holy cripes are the Bears taking a risk but this guy may be the best athlete in the draft. Kiper sure as hell loved the pick. He's definately raw, but he plays a physical game and is just an unbelieavable athlete. Also one of the states best high jumpers and was a decathalon star. He's like a slash type player.

The old adage is you can't teach athletism. The Bears obviously believe they can mold him into a stud. He's definately got the ability, just insane combine numbers and great field vision for yac.

I'm hopeful but this is a boom or bust pick. Plus, as someone mentioned he scored an 11 on the wonderlic test which is beyond awful.

Too bad to be a YAC monster you have to catch the ball. Wait, does that mean those highlights were when they handed the ball off to him??? Stop crapping on the guy. He's making a transition(ala Boldin) and he'll be better than what we have at WR other than Mushin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that in the main highlight they show of Bradley, hey shows terrible hands by not cleanly catching an easy throw, and instead it bounced high into the air and he caught it on the run. If he did that in the NFL, it would be an interception for sure. I actually think Bradley can be used as a dangerous slot receiver, and be used on reverses, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have potential but he hasn't shown much of it on the field. And he isn't making a transition, he played WR throughout his entire college career.
