Smallish

[StickyBun]

Is that Bradbury in the middle?? That is one small center. PLEASE get some competition in at the very least for this position. I know he's standing next to two guys over 6'6"....I'm not talking height. Girth. Weight. Anchor ass. 

If that is not Bradbury......never mind.

Same deal with this kid, right? Undersized. 24 reps with the benchpress?

At the very least, the Vikings need to add depth behind Bradbury, because even if he improves in the new system, he's likely not getting a 5th year and the Vikings will need a starter in 2023. 

I don't see it as a day 1 or 2 pick though.

Iowa strength and conditioning almost never does bench press. Typically all Iowa guys have low bench press reps at the combine because they know it's a silly measurable. There's a reason the Iowa guys perform well with vertical, 3 cone drill, and so forth. For example, Wirfs only did 24 reps at the combine but had a video when he was 21 hang cleaning 450 3 times.

never understood the facination with the bench for OL,  they always talk about wanting long arms for OL,  but then they make the single most biased lift against long armed people a benchmark.

For sure. Squats for linemen would be a bit more relevant it seems.
