But it will not translate to being an elite NFL QB or worthy of a #4 draft pick.
Now I will admit have not seen every game they have played in and I know they have had great college careers. But in what I have seen of them on a playing field, I have not seen it consistently to be convinced they are elite Qb's ready for the NFL. IMO they will be good NFl Qb's but they not be elite QB's in the NFL.

When you draft a QB in the 1st rd. especially as high as #4 you don't want to miss, when you do it set's you back tremendously, this year in particular because of so much uncertainly surrounding the eventual outcome of a new CBA. Bradford and Clausen are undoubtedly fine young prospects but either could be a reach at #4. My concern in this years draft is protecting the QB regardless of who it is.
