I like DJ but for what it's worth he also considered Bradberry to be the "safest" slam dunk pick in the draft, so there's that...

Pretty much everyone did, including me. Why he has struggled so much is a real mystery. I'm 90% convinced it has nothing to do with size or strength, since there are several smaller, lighter centers who don't struggle to anchor as much as he has. That seems to be supported by what we've heard from KOC.
It will be interesting to watch Bradbury this year in a new offense with a new OL coach. He won't get the 5th year options, but hopefully they can fix whatever his issues are. I could also see them trading Bradbury on draft day.

Eh, it very much could be strength...it'd be strength we don't know which is his lower body strength. If it's scheme then hopefully KOC and crew can implement new ways to maximize his strengths. This year may show us what it is
Too lazy to find the discussion where we talked about Pickens but I just read on Twitter that multiple NFL teams were less than impressed by Pickens. "He has a lot of growing up to do" was a comment one made

Yep, read that too. but I suspect it’s not take him off your board kinda stuff. More maturity issues, which we already knew about. He sure looks good playing football for someone you can probably get in the 2nd round.

He tore his ACL last year and still managed to play at the end of last season. He is big, has great hands, and is a really strong blocker. I would take him at the end of round 1 or with our 2d round pick.

If we’re drafting a WR with a bad knee, it better be Jameson Williams! Guy would light it up in purple!
