--Quarterback leads the offseason shopping list of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who met with all of the top-ranked passing prospects in private 15-minute interviews at the combine.
Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, a three-year starter and NFLDraftScout.com's top-ranked quarterback, is considered the most pro-ready.
"Really good poise, very good decision making and he's very accurate. I think that's what jumped out," said Bradley, who said he is working diligently with general manager David Caldwell to get up to speed on the 2014 draft class.
Texas A&M redshirt sophomore Johnny Manziel, introduced at a podium 50 yards away from Bradley eight minutes into his press conference at Lucas Oil Stadium, intrigues the team. Caldwell allowed as much Thursday. Bradley, who wants his roster lined with competition, admires Manziel's fighting spirit and natural leadership qualities.
"He's very talented. How can you argue with what he's done and the plays that he makes?" Bradley said. "Exciting player. Evaluation process, I really look forward to watching everything. We've been watching him for a while. He's done some great things for his team."
Height -- Manziel measured at 5-foot-11 3/4 on Friday morning -- will not disqualify any quarterback the Jaguars evaluate. Bradley said he was swayed by his experience with Russell Wilson at Seattle. With the Seahawks, height was never discussed during the player evaluation, according to Bradley, who said character, leadership and work ethic were the primary traits that rose to the forefront.
"If you put down traits that we're looking for in a quarterback, some of the things that keep popping up are timing, accuracy and decision-making. Those are the three major factors," Bradley said.
