Blaine Gabberts Mega thread

Mortensen reports on some scouts feedback that were there per Twitter.

Just in from one QB market team re: Gabbert: "Solid but not elite, certainly not Bradford or Stafford." 2 other teams much more impressed

So a little mixed but overall seems he did well for himself.

Rivera was there per Rob Rang

As expected, the Missouri Pro Day was well attended by NFL decision-makers, including Carolina head coach Ron Rivera, Jets' head coach Rex Ryan, Ravens' head coach John Harbaugh, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, Bengals' head coach Marvin Lewis, and Jaguars' head coach Jack Del Rio.

Every body seems to think Gabbert did well today. A lot of the feedback from scouts was anywhere from "very good not elite", to he "looked like a franchise QB and answered all questions"

So basically anyway you slice it he had a pretty good day. Just how good is the debate at this point.

When has anyone had a bad pro day? RT @Dave_Matter Gabbert unofficially completes 44 of 49, at least 3 misses were drops on good balls.

Joseph Person said it best. Of course unless you count Devlin, but he's not a 1st rounder.

Gabbert reminds me of Josh Freeman a few years back. Not a great college career but great physical tools + intangibles. Obviously there's no Stafford type in this year's draft so he'll end up getting overdrafted a little bit. I think he'll be solid though.

This reminds me of the Matt Ryan situation, Gabbert almost has to be the pick if we want to turn the franchise around. Unless you trade down.

This situation reminds me a bit of the decision the 'Fins had to make: Gamble on a QB, or go for a guy who is a virtual lock for probowls down the line.

We know the decision they made... When they finally land that franchise QB he will certainly benefit from the decision they made in that draft, ;)

Falcons certainly benefited from it.

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
