Generally speaking the experts are right on these sort of things. Leinart, Rodgers, Claussen all slipped just like they said they would.

Then again you never really do know. There's rumors flying over the place that Washington is on the phone for Gabbert. If we did want him we can't afford to tip our hand.

It is a possible smokescreen. Show little to no interest in the guy but then end up taking him.

Where did you see this?

they're NEVER right. Only picks they're usually right on with is the first 2 or 3.

Yeah..who gives a s**t if some guy says he doesn't think we'll take him.

Ok Shefter, I say SF is taking Blaine Gabbert if he is there w/ their pick.






Blaine Gabbert Declares For The 2011 NFL Draft: 5 Reasons You'll love him
1. Experience

Blaine Gabbert has two full seasons of experience at Mizzou under his belt, a time frame in which he collected 18 victories for a Tiger team that was not all of that great throughout his career as a starter. Gabbert came to his home state University despite being one of the most highly sought after recruits in the country, and earned playing time right away. Prospects with Gabbert's level of experience are always hot commodities on draft day.

2. Toughness

Blaine Gabbert is no stranger to injury. Missouri's signal caller has played through a number of injuries throughout his career, including a severely sprained ankle suffered at the hands of Ndamukong Suh. Gabbert also battled a rib injury this season. He is as tough as nails and willing to take a hit in the pocket.

3. Gabbert Has All of the Tools (Arm Strength, Accuracy, Size Etc)

There is no debate that Blaine Gabbert has all of the tools necessary to be an NFL quarterback . He has a lazer arm, adequate accuracy, and great height and bulk for an NFL prospect a 6'5'' 235 pounds. Gabbert is athletic and makes smart decisions with the football (for the most part). His production has not always matched his elite physical tools, but he has the make up of a franchise quarterback.

4. Intangibles (Leadership, Confidence, Work Ethic, Intelligence)

In addition to his impressive physical measurables, Blaine Gabbert possesses a lot of the intangibles necessary to find success in the NFL. Gabbert played his best football in Mizzou's most important games. He led them to victories over Texas A&M and Oklahoma, and performed admirably in the Insight Bowl until that one misguided throw that led to Iowa's game winning touchdown. Gabbert relishes the spotlight and excels in clutch situations.

5. Someone Will Fall in Love with Him

We see it every year; A junior quarterback declares early and picks up steam throughout the combine and interview process becoming a first round pick in the process. Gabbert could be that guy in the 2011 NFL Draft. Blaine Gabbert will deliver eye popping results at both his combine workouts and his pro day, and I suspect he will knock the interviews out of the park with his high football I.Q. and charismatic personality.

I find it hard to believe that Blaine Gabbert would forego his senior season for his hometown team unless he had reason to believe he would be drafted in one of the first couple rounds. ESPN reports that some scouts have given him a first round grade. Gene Smith, the general manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars, personally attended the Insight Bowl, and there is reason to believe Gabbert was on his list of targets.

Blaine Gabbert could here his name called on day one of the 2011 NFL Draft if his stock continues to pick up steam.

He was asked what team is a good fit and he said Tennessee. McShay read into as us not being interested and put it as such but Schefter never uttered those words.

Gabbert rated lower then Clausen was last year.



There's a good chance the Carolina Panthers will take a quarterback with the No. 1 pick in the draft. This is a team that drafted a quarterback with a lot of potential last year, played him really early but with disappointing results, and now has a new coach in place. Coaches often like their own guys. But setting aside the potential of Jimmy Clausen versus the potential of either of the top two quarterbacks in this class, we can be sure of one thing: Drafting a quarterback No. 1 overall this year is the best way for the Panthers to guarantee a return trip to the top of the draft board in 2012. And drafting Blaine Gabbert specifically would be a mistake.

Let's look at some reasons:

1. He's not ready to start: If Panthers fans are concerned that Clausen won't pan out, consider that Gabbert is rated lower than Clausen was this time last year. So while Clausen struggled, as all rookies do (and more specifically, guys who jump after their junior year), Gabbert would be making the same leap. Worse, if asked to start, he's coming from a system that doesn't resemble what he'll be working with in Carolina. Remember, saying "Don't take Gabbert" is not an endorsement of Clausen; it's asking this: Why take a development player at the same position two years in a row?

Schefter said he doesn't see Gabbert going before Tennessee picks at #8. Mcshay then said it's unfair that he gets to break news while in New York. Sounds pretty convincing, take it for what it's worth.

Chat wrap: 49ers fan fretting Blaine Gabbert
April, 28, 2011 Apr 282:31PM ETEmail Print Comments2 By Mike SandoThe final NFC West chat before the 2011 NFL draft came and went amid a flurry of NFL developments. I'll break out some highlights here and offer additional thoughts afterward.

Keith (Dallas, TX): If the 49ers draft Blaine Gabbert (aka less-intelligent Alex Smith) at #7, should I burn all my SF gear at the end of the first round tonight or wait until the final pick of the draft Saturday?

Mike Sando: You should hope that Jim Harbaugh's feel for quarterbacks and ability to work with them allows Gabbert to become a successful quarterback. And you should feel grateful the team finally appears to have some philosophical stability on the offensive side of the ball. There's no reason to compare Gabbert to Alex Smith, because the 49ers are in a much different situation now.

Tell me Mike "KNOW IT ALL" Sando how different are these 49ers from Alex Smith niners i see pretty much the same team only difference is a new head coach

as i read more & more post from Mike im disliking his blogs more n more



YA DON'T KNOW JACK

GABBERT= ALEX SMITH 2.0

When we drafted Smith did we have as good of an offensive supporting cast as we do now?

When we drafted Smith we we also converting to a new defensive scheme, this year we will be playing the same system under different coaches, thus an overhaul of personnel is not required.

Harbaugh means while our OC could change 6 times over the next 6 years, the philosphy and offensive system will remain the same in his regime.

Sando is right.

Mel Kiper has Gabbert coming to us at #7
