Honestly, I think Bradford should stay for one more year for developmental purposes. He may be $hit hot playing the college game, but how many times have we seen QB's that are great in college, or any player in general, leave for the NFL earlier than they should've and end up sucking in the pro's?
He's saying that now, but ya never know. He's prolly a 1st rounder and that's a pretty good chunk of change.
Same situation for Bradford with one caveat - the boomers lose 4 OL to graduation. Chance of injury increases. He ought to get while the gettin's good.
the drop off shouldn't be insurmountable, but OU's line is just insane. There is no way Bradford will have as good a line next year. Basically, he has topped out his #'s and even if he is close, the shine will be off. The longer he stays, the more faults will be found by NFL scouts...did bradford's dad return to get his degree after his brief time in the league? i think that experience will have an impact on bradford's decision.
as for 4 ol gone, i do not see that as an insurmountable problem. much as bradford's sit out time this year has in effect kept him out of 2 games, the same has happened with the depth chart at most every position. they have kids to plug in who have had time in the trenches.
Crabtree, Maclin, and Bradford would be first rounders. You can't forget about booger eater(chase daniel) as he'll be drafted in the first couple of rounds. This is probably a homie pick but is really underrated, if didn't make that many bonehead plays we'd be 10-2 right now. The ganzinator will probably be a 6th/7th round pick. He's a silent ninja.
A lot of the big 12's great players are juniors/sophmores right now so that's why their doesn't seem too many good players going into the draft.

There are a few others who might make it into round #1. Orakpo, TE from Okie lite, Loadholdt, Gresham, all got a shot. Will prolly depend on their combine #'s and/or other workouts.
Has Jermaine Gresham made it know he is leaving a year early for the NFL. From what I hearing he may come back because of how he was "overlooked" as the best TE in the Big XII and all the "glory and praise" given to Coffman from Mizzou.....
