In our Experts Draft and Auction, Sam Bradford was a 10th-round pick and a $9 purchase, while Mark Sanchez was a 20th-rounder and not bought in the auction. Come August, those values might be a lot different.
There appears to be some doubt whether Bradford, coming off a torn ACL, will be ready for the start of the season. The season is a long way off, but the linked article says Bradford is limping around and doesn't look "remotely close" to be healthy.
It's Bradford's second ACL tear, so maybe it will take longer than for some other players. Or maybe he's just a slow healer. Whatever the case, it's a concern for both his stock and the rest of the Eagles offense.
Sanchez actually put up decent numbers for much of last season, with Jordan Matthews a particular beneficiary. So there's that. But clearly him starting was not the plan.
Even if we assume Bradford is healthy in Week 1, it's fair to wonder if he can stay that way. Probably not worth a high or even mid-round pick in drafts unless you enjoy risk. Or want to also draft Sanchez.
