Also heard somewhere that Rashod Hill graded out as the 4th best left tackle in the NFL last week.

Bradbury improving dramatically

I was disappointed in Bradbury's pass-blocking early on. Then I reminded myself of the learning curve along the OL and at C too.
Nice to see the upward projectory and the athleticism is evident. Here's another take right after the NYG game: After savage early reviews, Vikings center Garrett Bradbury proves he belongsCenter Garrett Bradbury's "welcome-to-the-NFL" moments are decreasing Rookie first-round draft pick Garrett Bradbury, one of Pro Football Focus’ favorite chew toys the first four weeks, bit back. PFF still ranks him 37th among 37 qualifying centers (39.3) but listed him eighth overall (66.7) on Sunday. Or, as older-school evaluator Mike Zimmer sums up Bradbury’s first five NFL games, “I think he’s had some ‘welcome-to-the-NFL’ moments, but then last week I think was his best game.” First, Bradbury says he’s not experiencing sleeplessness over the fact PFF has him 34th among centers in run blocking (49.4) and dead last in pass blocking (16.5). “Our coaches give us grades each week and then we either win the game or lose the game,” Bradbury said. “If I’m worried about things other than those two things, I’m not going to be worth a darn on Sundays.” Secondly, those “welcome-to-the-NFL” moments the boss mentioned are only part of Bradbury trying to join Hall of Famer Mick Tingelhoff as the only rookies in 59 seasons of Vikings football to start every game at center. “We’re five games in and there are a handful of plays I want back,” Bradbury said. “I look at the film on Mondays and it doesn’t matter how good the player is that I played against. I feel if I would have been better, it doesn’t matter who I’m playing. “But part of this year is me trying to build off each game. Like [Wednesday], we’re out here after practice working extra on [direct] snaps [with Kirk Cousins] because we put another ball on the ground Sunday. That can’t ever happen, so you can never get enough reps. http://www.startribune.com/after-savage-...562664352/

He'll be a better and bigger player next season, bank on it. The arrow is up on Bradbury.

I wish I had more faith in PFF grades, particularly regarding OL play...

Quote: @"BarrNone55" said:I think their grading for OL is suspect... one of the Eagles OL a few years ago did a breakdown of himself from what his coaches were telling him compared to what PFF graded him. He pointed out a couple plays where he got a "good grade" from PFF, but he actually didn't execute his assignment. I think other positions are much easier to grade. The offensive line is a unit and it's much more difficult to grade individual performances.
