No quarterbacks in the draft

[Catalyst]

I don't think it's out of the question that we do go QB this year, TBH. Let's not forget that Jake Locker was a lock for the 1st pick last year had he come out. He had a down year, but was considered THE top prospect prior to that. If only having one good year isn't a problem for Fairley, then why is having one down year amid an otherwise great college career enough to knock Locker down to the bottom of the round?

Blaine Gabbert interests me. He's got the build, intelligence, and intangibles you look for in a top flight QB. Sure, he played in a spread offense, but so did Bradford,The Golden Calf of Bristol, and many other QB's that were drafted lately. Clausen played in a pro style offense and it didn't seem to give him any edge. Plus, Gabbert's got a HUGE arm and can make all the NFL throws.

I really do feel like if Jay Gruden (or whoever our QB coach is) decides during the scouting process that Gabbert or Locker or Mallett have the skillset and mindset that he can develop into an NFL QB that he'll tell Hurney and that given how badly J.R. seems to want his franchise QB we might just take the guy.

Again, we already have two guys that at this point would be considered "projects".

Somebody explain to me why we want our QB coach spending his training camp time working with three different projects at once? :nonod:
