Garrett Bradbury on Wanting To Be A Viking Long-Term, Dealing With Sunday’s Difficult Loss and More – FANTASY FOOTBALL FAN SITE
Lawrence Daniels

Bradbury is gone, for a cheaper option………
6’4″ 320lbs😝

Trevor Lee

dude just cant hold the point time to move on

Thomas B N4G

Dude was the Oline. He did great after an injury. He was out more than a month into a playoff? Come on!

Styks 27

Great season came in the building and improved a lot too 10 C easily

Mitig Inini

They threw him around yesterday it’s time to move on. Draft a center and save money.

    Yet no sacks allowed. Not too many centers are going to completely shut down Lawrence, who’s a 1st Team All-Pro.

Robert Beaudette

Was a tall task to block dexter larwnrece in first game back but overall did a solid job, wasn’t great but not bad either, Kirk was sacked zero times. Would not be mad if we extended him to a shorter term deal. 👍

    Mitig Inini

    His back will continue to give him problems just draft a center

    Robert Beaudette

    @NUTTY_TV only gave up a couple pressures and no sacks… like I said it wasn’t great but wasn’t bad. Not sure what game you were watching.

    Mitig Inini

    @Robert Beaudette it’s still time to move on from Bradbury he has been mediocre for most of his career

chuck urso

His work ethic should have improved and for being undersized, he needed to be a weight room junkie which he isn’t. His back is now shot and he is expendable. Good bye and good luck!

JB Moore

He’s a nice guy, good character, a hard worker, and he can run fast.
NOW, years after the day he was drafted, we can SEE which of the three top centers that year became the best player.
1. Elgton Jenkins – He can play virtually anywhere along the line and has been Green Bays’ best interior lineman.
2. Eric McCoy – A powerful kid who can play any interior position. He misses a block occasionally, but rarely does ANYONE try to run through him. He’s too stout for anyone to earn a living trying to push McCoy around.
3. Garrett Bradbury – taken at 18 in the first round, this guy is a distant third to McCoy and Jenkins. His lack of strength is more of a liability than his speed is an asset. His best shows when he’s reach blocking or getting to the second level where he can block safeties and other smaller defenders. Bradbury really needs to be flanked by to powerful guards, which isn’t what he has in Minnesota. He needs to have perfect technique to stand a chance against defensive lineman. He just isn’t the anchor you want at the center position.
So 4 years after seeing these 3 guys compete at the combine and especially the seniorbowl practices, the obvious has been confirmed: the Vikings picked the least physical, LEAST powerful, and least imposing athlete of the three by far. Scheme won’t make him bigger and stronger, and neither has the weight room.
Can we move on now? Or is there something else we don’t know after 4 YEARS???

    good analysis. I agree

    Puppethound

    Good take and I said that this year too, Bradbury is best when is a “support lineman” help other lineman with THEIR blocks. He is bad one on one against ANY interior D lineman. That’s been his forte.
    Don’t be blinded by average blocking this year (imo 2022 was his ceiling), look at the whole picture. He is one of the average lineman around the league and IF the Vikings can get him for bottom dollar, then sure, resign him, but imo anyone else would be better.

Lion coach Dan Campbell put it best. – “Every year we gotta start over.”

Oscar

Draft a center! The Bradbury experiment is over! We know what he is and what he ISN’T is blocking anyone with any size advantage on him. SKOL!

Do the right thing Kwesi!

Norseman86

If he can maintain like played this season, I’d love to have him back.

    Can he improve? I feel that the nose tackles on every team threw him around a bit…. I’d like some mammoth center who’s not getting tossed around disrupting Kirk on every passing play….

    Puppethound

    He played “better” because it was a contract year. Like everyone else, he knew he has to step and up, so this year was the ceiling for Bradbury. Imo, he is gone, ANYONE can play better than he did during his time here. I don’t know for fact, but he had to be the worst center in the league the last 3 years. Draft a replacement for a 3rd of the price.

NUTTY_TV

D Lawrence threw him around like a little kid all day and that’s just unacceptable.

    I’m not a Bradbury apologist, but the Giants didn’t register a sack the whole game. And BTW, Dexter Lawrence is a 2nd Team All-Pro. I doubt Bradbury’s back was 100%. A few weeks back he could barely walk. Do you remember Quinnen Williams destroying Bradbury because I don’t. Williams is a 1st Team All-Pro. I highly doubt they can find anyone significantly better in FA or in the draft. You saw what a 2nd round pick gets you with Ingram, who was flat out terrible. The learning curve is even steeper for centers. If they were going to move on from Bradbury Kwesi should have wised up and traded down to the early-mid 20s and just taken Linderbaum, who is the best center prospect to come out in years. He’s also been very good this year.

Daniel Kerwin

He played much better this year.

    Puppethound

    and that wasn’t saying much. A contract year makes players play better. If this is the best he can do compared to the last 3 years, yeah it’s time to get someone else.

    YouTube Algorithmic Safety Board

    @Puppethound If you believe PFF, he was the #10 graded center in the NFL this season. He definitely wasn’t the weakest link.

Shane Brown

He was better this year but if you can improve at center and right guard they should. Thielen probably done which is sad but I think they need to bring in another quality receiver to take pressure off of Jefferson.

ddellwo

Unless he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, I’m assuming this is probably Bradbury’s last year in Minnesota. He was drafted by the “old regime” and most teams with new management are anxious to bring in people they selected and who fit the mold of whatever their vision might be. He’s been decent at times, but never great, and likely underperformed his draft position. No tears – he’ll probably get a ton of cash from somebody hoping he’s simply a late-bloomer who flourishes during his second contract…….💰

None

He was with us for two years and was terrible. When they tell him no extension, then he decides to play better. He also is not giving enough protection for Kirk – other teams walk over him. Not great at center. Time to move on.
