Player Bio: Bradbury was a high school tight end who converted to guard and then as a center in college, and the transition has worked out well. Bradbury won the Dave Rimington Trophy as the nation's best college center in 2018, in addition to being named the AP All-America Team starting center and first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference as well. He widely regarded as a probable first-round selection and perhaps the top center at the 2019 NFL Draft.

​#65 Garrett Bradbury vs. Florida St (2018) 

Strengths: Tough, smart, athletic center who played well against top opponents, including a Clemson defensive line. Bradbury widely considered to be the best in the nation. Didn't get fooled very often by stunts or gimmicks in college. Will be projected as a day one starter in the NFL rather than being a "project." Good at getting his hands on nose tackles without getting flagged for holding. Has good core strength and moves well for an interior lineman. Projects as an NFL center, but could step in at guard if needed. At the NFL Draft, there are no certainties, but Garrett Bradbury may be about as close as you can get.

Weaknesses: Some scouts think he tends to lean a little bit too much and that some of his hand techniques are predictable. Slightly on the small side for an NFL center. Played in a college offense that featured the quick passing game, so he's not necessarily experienced at protecting a quarterback who may hold the ball a little longer waiting for deep routes to open up

Draft Grade: 5.92

Draft Projection:  1st Round

Does He Fit?:  Absolutely, if he is available at number 31 when the Rams pick, which he may not be. As the 2018 season starting center John Sullivan no longer with the Los Angeles Rams, Bradbury would be a great replacement and possibly an improvement.
