Sorry if this was posted, Mayock weighs in:

"He's my No. 1 quarterback, and to me he's the one quarterback in the draft who, if you've got to bang the table for a franchise quarterback, he's the guy,'' NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said after Gabbert's workout. "The kid confirmed everything you want to see in a franchise quarterback. I thought he did as good as he could have. His footwork was real clean. His arm was real accurate, and his arm strength was great.''

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.

Bullshit. Those BC teams SUCKED. Without Ryan, they would've been awful teams. He WAS that team. I hated when the Falcons drafted Ryan because I knew they'd just acquired a damn good QB.

The media hype storm has emerged just as I thought it would. he did good but honestly the media types telegraphed this the last 5 days. And had people declaring win 5 throws into his day.

I thought he did well but from what i saw it wasn't the greatest display that has ever been seen. He was 44-49 and at least 3 of him "completions" were bad throws. I am not buying into It just yet. i think people are trying to generate buzz on this guy because they had him so highly rated.

I hate saying that but they act like he torched the stadium and from what I saw that is false.

The NFL scouts that have been quoted have not been nearly as enthusiastic as some of these media guys.

But I really don't want to take away from the kid. He did a really good job. :)

If they draft Gabbert I'll never buy his jersey cuz his last name makes me cringe :D

That's fine, I have a better idea for marketing Blaine Gabbert if we draft him...

Official Blaine Gabbert Wigs

That being said, I think we'd be better off drafting someone at another position and winning games. But hey, wigs are okay too.

You're right, I think Mayock and Brandt have been the most enthusiastic about it, but they're in the media. Check the SI article I posted earlier to see some responses by two offensive coordinators and Banks' informal poll. It seems most of the actual team personnel WERE impressed, though how impressed varied from "good" to "amazing." Which seems to be about the level of media variance too, albeit a bit more on the "HE IS SOOOOO AWESOME" level.

I'd say that he had a good day. Maybe he wasn't Cam Newton, but at least he has the hair on his side. ;)

No doubt the kid get an A++ on his hair. He had a good day no doubt. I don't mind drafting him. I really trust our guys to make a good decision, even if they pass on QB.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      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

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      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.
