Bradbury had an interesting comment yesterday....

I'm paraphrasing, but he basically said he was glad to see Brandel start off activities starting so they can gain cohesiveness as a unit. Wes Phillips talked him up (Brandel) big time. Darrisaw-Brandel-Bradbury-Ingram-O'Neill will probably be the best starting O-line in years. Maybe not the highest bar as the interior has been suspect, but incrementally better with Brandel and moving in the right direction. The team tried to upgrade over Risner and I believe they think they have. Risner and his agent have been trying to get Minnesota to resign him, but he'd only come back as a reserve now....and I think Minnesota wants another young player to step up and grab the backup swing OG spot. Brandel was a 6th round pick, good value.

The more work together they get, the better. In 2025, I think the team will have a new starting center. I think it'll be Jurgens....if Brandel can start as a 6th rounder, it's not a reach for Jurgie.
