That's what my reaction (after confusion) was. You get him at a cheap deal and he gives them someone to develop for said scenario. He was once highly touted, but looks like a raw prospect. I guess Lazor or someone liked enough of what they saw, but actually claiming him on the roster rather than PS seems like it had more to do with locking in that cheap long term deal. There are other needs though. Lastly, with Sanchez going to Dallas the FA market for QBs is almost bare. Maybe Marvin and Co. saw what Bradford fetched and the scale tipped to be ready in case they actually get bowled over when the next QB goes down (pre deadline). Still don't see them dealing McCarron until the offseason, but a lot of little things had to lead to picking up Driskel, cutting the fallen Dawson and passing on an extra backside or frontside defender.
