It is Sam Bradford's day of reckoning

Five months after it was completely reconstructed, Sam Bradford has been telling everyone that his right shoulder is feeling fine.

Telling that to people is one thing. Showing it is another.

Today Bradford will hold his one-man pro day in Norman, Okla. He is expected to throw 50 passes, but not do running drills. That means each of Bradford's passes will have to be on the money.

If they are, the money is return should be huge. Top overall pick huge. That could be more than the six years and $71.8 million that was given to No. 1 pick Matthew Stafford last year.

But what if Bradford falters? What if his passes flutter? What if he can't hit the deep out?

What if he winces in pain after throw 50?

St. Louis may need a quarterback, but Ndamukong Suh isn't a bad 1a.

And if he is, Bradford may in trouble. The obvious idea is that Washington would take him fourth overall since Detroit and Tampa Bay don't need a quarterback. If Washington passes, Bradford could slip to Cleveland, which has the seventh overall pick. Kansas City won't after investing a lot of money in Matt Cassel. Seattle just traded a third-round pick for Charlie Whitehurst.

So if Bradford doesn't look as good as people hope, at best he'll probably be taken fourth. At worst, seventh.

The difference could be worth $22 million. That's the difference in the amount of guaranteed money given to Stafford and Mark Sanchez, the fifth overall pick in last year's draft.

Update: Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that the Rams will have Bradford in for a private workout on April 19. Washington will work Bradford out on April 15.

Update 2: Word out of Oklahoma is that Bradford looked very good completing 50 of 50 passes. Yes, something like this is incredibly scripted, but Bradford probably assured himself of being the No. 1 pick. Only two of his passes were somewhat off, but remained catchable.
