Whilst fans salivate about Bradford and Clausen, two things need to be considered.
Bradford, for the most part, enjoyed his success behind an elite college OL, which is something we cannot offer him at the moment in the pros
Clausen, had the benefit of a pair of the best receivers in college football, whilst it can be argued that we cannot provide him with a legitimate No1 WR let alone a pair.
How they might succeed without such advantages is open to discussion.
The guy I hope the Bills might be prepared to wait for is Andrew Luck
If Harbaugh leaves Stanford after next year, Luck might go to the pros as a sophmore and he'll have as much playing experience as Bradford has. In 2012 he'll be a junior and in 2013 a senior.
This guy has elite franchise QB written all over him and has the size and toughness to succeed in Buffalo.
Our roster has full of holes. Use this draft and the next to finish the OL, complete the switch to the 3-4 if we are going that way and get by with a game manager and the draft Luck, if necessary trading all our picks in one draft to get him. He'll come into an environment where he could easily be a rookie SuperBowl winner as we'll have fixed all the other elements in the team.
