That's a very informative watch...

I thought Ford really had his way a lot of the game. Watching this it looks like Bradbury held his own quite a bit.

Is this a thing? Good stuff. Hard to believe he's a rookie in his 1st camp. His upside is huge.

Bradbury is gonna be a great one.  O-Line still has work to do, but what a great building block.

Love it.  That 4th and 1... That was an amazing block by Bradbury.  Rudolph actually made the block that got Ham the first down as he bounced outside, but that low man wins was amazing.

When you can see that a center is good, he must be good.  His first step is incredible for his positioning.  He looks to be a good one for a long time.  I wasn't excited about this pick a few weeks before the draft, but by the time the draft came, I was hoping we picked him.

We have our C and potentially LT (at the minimum RT) of the future.  Hopefully a guy like Collins or Samia can develop into a good pro. Add one more young stud T and do your best for a quality FA G

Vikings have not had a Center as talented as Bradbury since Birk, IMO. 

Birk was bigger and probably stronger but Bradbury is quicker. Much quicker.

Akiem Hicks is a beast but I can't wait to see he and Bradbury line it up and see what's what.

Hicks ate the Vikings OL's lunch during games last season then belched in Cousins face after sacks.  Hopefully Bradbury make him choke on it.  Looking like the perfect #1 pick the team needed.

The surprise for me so far with Bradbury early is his ability to anchor: He gets low. I can see him settling in around 8-10 lbs heavier than he is right now in the next year or two to handle the wear and tear.

Dont forget the Jewish guy eddie goldman too...Bears have the best DT tandem in the North and top 3 in the NFC. 

Edit - we're 1/2 jewish/half christian family, so I get joke immunity  :p

I enjoyed the breakdown. Bradbury is fun to watch. He was always going to the coaches at training camp. He is very quick and powerful.

Birk is taller than Bradbury but not anywhere near as quick or powerful. Bradbury is a physical freak. 4.92 forty with 34 reps compared to Birk with a 5.40 forty and 21 reps.

Agreed. Birk isn't nearly the athlete that Bradbury is.

Is this about the best news we could hold out for coming out of this draft class?  He's been as good as advertised, so far....I'll take it!
