Default OT: Could Sam Bradford slip to the Pats?

BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IM GIVING UP ON BRADY/ THE SEASON that is not the case. I still have plenty of optimism for the rest of the season, and the near future. I bring this up because this guy (Bradford) really looks like a stud (before the injury of course). I think Brady still has at least 2 more solid years ahead of him, but with his contract ending after next season, and the chance that Bradford may very well slip in the draft to the Patriots, is there a chance they go after him. While I still think Tom is one of the very best currently playing, he doesn't look like he is having fun anymore. It's become very business with him.

When Cassel was here last year, you could really see some the young kid, who's main goal was to simply have fun and lead his team to a win, that Brady used to be. Assuming the Pats will go after a solid pass rusher in free agency, is it time to start planning for post-Brady and bring in some of that fresh enthusiasm with, what I believe, is one of the most talented young QB's to come out of college in a long time (especially with what is once again a surplus of early round picks)...that being said I am still looking forward to the rest of Brady's time here and am doing my best to maintain a positive outlook for the rest of the season...

just curious as to what people's opinion's may be...like I stated earlier, the main goal this offseason will be passrusher, but IF, and ONLY IF the Pats are in a position where Bradford is available (and they have picked up someone like, say, Aaron Kampman in free agency to rush the passer), would you take a shot at him and do you think it is a possibility?

I dont expect many people to be on board with this, and rightfully so, but its just here for suggestion and opinion...

Why would you want Sam Bradford? We have much more dyer needs right now then QB. In fact, thats the last thing we need right now. He will be still a top 10 to 15 pick anyway even with his injury, so this is an overreaction to last night. Our draft needs are in this order.

D-Line/ OLB
RB
OL
RB
WR
Corner/Safety
QB

Taking Bradford would be bad because we wouldn't gain anything out of this draft for years to come.

Nicely said.

I wouldn't want Bradford even if I wanted a QB. There are a half dozen guys I would prefer. And you nailed the priorities nicely.

Don't want him because he's too skinny. However, I said the same thing about DeSean Jackson.

Anyways, the Pats primary focus is the pass rush. The end.

No. Brady has at least another half a decade to go and he's not going anywhere. He means too much to the area and the organization.

Why waste the 1st round pick on a QB? You should consider that Brady was a 6th round pick. JaMarcus Russell went first overall and I remember when he got drafted how Mel Kiper was saying he had potential to be a top 5 QB in this league. So alot of scouts thought were wrong on him. There are alot of busts at the QB position who get drafted in the first round. Matt Cassel was a 7th round pick and is a good QB.

That's my estimation as well. I don't really see any point in drafting a QB for another 3-4 years, any sooner and most likely we're just wasting years off the new guy's career.

Why would you want Sam Bradford when you can get my boy Rusty Smith in the 5th or 6th round?.......

Yeah I would want Bradford but theres other guys we would get without trading up for him. QB is not a need but Id rather have:
Javier Arenas/Joe Hadden
Sergio Kindle
Jonathan Dwyer
Rolando McClain
Greg Hardy
Brandon Spikes
Taylor Mays
Anthony Davis
J.Best
Golden Tate
Carlos Dunlap-even after the arrest
Jermaine Gresham
Tim Tebow
Tony Pike
but I wouldnt mind seeing him play for us 5 years from now
