His game tonight was awful...He's a liability in there. Probably the last cog in the OL that needs to be upgraded. Rest of the group just needs some time together and some curating, they're awfully young up there. Hell, Darrisaw is what? 22?

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Yeah, Bradbury had a terrible game. I think he lost his 5th year option tonight. And his competition wasn't especially difficult.

I was thinking when that guy got a penalty for tossing Bradbury around, if they could write that into the rulebook and get it called on opps every week, we could really shore up the center position in a hurry!

The second coming of Elf...Pretty weird and alarming proof of really shitty scouting of body type for position. Then we draft Wyatt Davis, with prototypical size in the 3rd rd., and he is a healthy scratch. We seem to throw darts at the draft board.

One thing that keeps standing out to me on the rewatch of DAL-MIN is how routinely Garrett Bradbury is getting beat. Late in the 4th Q on Minnesota's drive that stalled in the red zone, Justin Hamilton overpowers Bradbury to get to Alexander Mattison and make the tackle. This is

something that shows up every week, and teams know that Bradbury struggles w/ bigger, stronger nose tackles and how to manipulate that matchup in their favor. I'm not even talking about when he got thrown by Randy Gregory after the whistle. This game is about establishing your

physical dominance vs. your opponent and the Vikings struggle mightily in that department starting up front with the interior of the offensive line.

Yup, the second high draft pick miss in a row at that position. Bye bye Spielman.

Yeah again, the Vikings should spend this year grooming Wyatt Davis at center.  Cleveland and Udoh are going to be the starting guards going forward so there is no sense in wasting Davis as a backup who wont see the field.  I think his ability to anchor would be far superior to that of Bradbury.  If they have no plans on doing that then center becomes one of our needs heading into next offseason

Udoh and Cleveland struggled as well. It all starts with Bradbury, and maybe his issues are contributing to the other two and their struggles, but seeing their line play in person last night it was some of the worst I've seen from this group all year.

Another Rick Spielman first round special like Waynes, Treadwell, Gladney, and Hughes.   5 of the last 7 first rounders are total busts, you cannot build success in the NFL at that rate of failure at the most important pick you get every year.

I have hated Bradbury since his rookie year.   Dude has nice feet for zone runs but is a liability everywhere else.  Drafted WAY too high.

Spielman has a boner for Mayock and NFL Network and how they rate players, clearly the rest of the NFL operates differently.  Funny how we always win the Pete Prisco Post-Draft Paper Championship but 5 years later the cupboard is back to being bare.

Why wait? Bench him now and try someone else; anyone else.
