Per the highlights:

Bradford has solid pocket presence. He moves away from pressure naturally. He's relatively accurate. The problem I see is a very, very weak arm for the NFL. While his release is fairly quick watch each pass closely. Very little velocity and often a sloppy spiral. Shanny had Elway for all that time, slinging the pigskin like nobody else could, and everybody knows that kind of ability allows a guy to do things weak-armed QBs just can't do. I would be shocked, truly shocked if Shanny drafts Bradford.

Clausen has a pretty strong arm to be sure. I don't see anything phenomenal though. Is he really much of an upgrade over JC? I really doubt it. And at 4th overall trading mediocrity for mediocrity is just bad management.

What position can we (likely) upgrade the most at 4? LT is obvious IMO. We've got a serviceable vet on the decline in Jones and absolutely nothing to back him up.
