Quick Take:
Strong between the tackles runner, lots of lower body strength and knows how to get behind his pads and punish a defender. Has good agility for a larger back, knows how to reverse a field or shake a defender. Uses a sitff arm and spin move consistently. Very patient runner letting blocks set up and will be an excellent zone runner or screen receiver. Plays well without a lead blocker, and can make room for himself in the hole. Has a lot of energy and endurance, gets upfield and falls forward. Was recruited as a DB/LB and still has that physical punishing attitude. Impact player on STs the last two years, and is ready to transition to the NFL.
Where He Goes in the Draft:
Top of the 4th round
What is Denver's Interest In Him?
Denver appears to be shopping for RBs in the drought period of the draft, so that may be where they feel the most value can be had. With that said, a trade for a fourth rounder may be aimed at picking up a falling value at RB,a nd Bradford may qualify.

[Note: All players in the table are ranked by overall grade within their round grouping, however, the round groupings are based on where this player will likely be drafted based on where teams are currently selecting in the draft. Therefore a player is ranked within a group by his level of ability, but players in nearby groupings may have higher or lower actual grades, despite being in a different group. Confusing enough for you? --Styg]
