Blaine Gabbert, 10th Pick 2011 NFL Draft

Gabbert, Blaine Missouri 6043 234 4.62

Jacksonville Jaguars


Junior entry. Two-year starter. Right handed passer who is consistent
and accurate in his play. Gets the ball out of his hand quickly.
Sudden to “catch” and release. He sees it quickly and hits it quickly.
Can speed up his delivery under the pressure of a rush and keep his
accuracy. Carries the ball chest high or higher at all times. No
wasted motion to re-cock and throw. High overhand release.
Demonstrates good touch over the linebackers and in front of the
safeties. Generally throws a tight spiral with good velocity. High
RPMs, good rotation. Will use his eyes and pump fakes to move
the safeties. Athletic and mobile enough to extend the play. A
rhythm and timing passer. Plays in a pass first spread offense that
features slant routes, bubble screens, and quick outs. Will also step
into the deep passes downfield and put the ball between the numbers
on the receiver. A patient quarterback who spreads the ball around
to four, sometimes five different receivers. Accurate throwing the
skinny post down the seam. Deadly on the 18-yard out. Strong
enough to run quarterback draws in the red zone. Will tuck the ball
away and lower his shoulder going for the extra yard. A long strider
who can scramble for positive deep yards For the complete report see

2011 Free Agent Rankings....Quarterbacks

2011 Free Agent Quarterbacks...

The most important factor used to compile the free agent rankings is the
player’s ability and performance on the field. Next is the age and time factor,
especially players over the age of thirty. We then look at durability and injury
issues with the older veterans. Lastly, we evaluate the intangible areas (i.e.:
attitude, work ethic, and off-field troubles) as those red flags often follow a
player to his new team. Restricted free agents rarely move. The players are
ranked in order of their value. Keep in mind that maintenance of this list is
ongoing. Minor errors or omissions are possible. For example, when a player
signs during the season, his new contract’s expiration date is sometimes unclear.
It is likely that a few players are even now negotiating new or extended contracts
with their team.The following signings are as of March 14, 2011.
Codes:
F – Tagged by current team as a Franchise Player
T – Tendered by current team
S – Signed by current team
UFA – Unrestricted Free Agent

2011 NFL Draft Quarterbacks

For each position, we have ranked the players listed by
a special Ourlads’ formula we call OSR. When a prospect has an OSR rating
of 15/17, for example, he rated 15th out of the 17 athletes at his position.
Athletes are listed by position alphabetically. Each workout field is weighted
to the importance of the position – i.e.: for quarterbacks – height, the short
shuttle, 3 cone drill, and Wonderlic test are the most important. Broad jump,
vertical jump, 40-yard dash, and 20-yard dash are also important, but not as
important as the first four mentioned. The numbers recorded next to a
prospect’s name exceeded the previous year’s Combine average or Pro Bowl
players’ averages for the past five years. If there is only an OSR rating, the
athlete did not exceed any of the previous position averages.

East-West Shrine Game Quarterbacks

Mike Kafka (Northwestern) – 6027, 216. Only started one year, but was impressive in practice and the game with his football intelligence and poise. A playmaker that has good touch and anticipation. Can scramble for positive yards. Steps up into the pocket and steps into his passes. Late round, developmental project. John Skelton (Fordham) – 6050, 244. Big strong armed drop back passer that showed his fast ball during the week. A developmental type with raw skills and footwork. Touch is inconsistent on short and intermediate passes. There was also some question as to whether football will be his main priority. Daryll Clark (Penn State) – 6017, 238. Good athlete that throws well on the run. Projects to a running back similar to San Francisco’s Michael Robinson. Max Hall (BYU) – 6002, 202. Up and down week of practice but is generally accurate on short and medium routes. Good anticipation on seam routes. Shorter than ideal. Smart and learns quickly. Struggled throwing the ball in the rain. Matt Nichols (Eastern Washington) – 6016, 220. Good arm strength. Can buy time with his feet to extend the play. Has a chance to develop with borderline measurables and skills. Todd Reesing (Kansas) – 5100, 188. Good leader and anticipation, elusive when he pulls the ball down. Below average arm strength and size. Canadian league candidate

Senior Bowl Quarterbacks

Sean Canfield (Oregon State) – 6034, 221. Left handed. Throws well on the run or moving to the perimeter. Has average arm strength and accuracy. Struggled with velocity to sidelines. Better on curls and digs. Productive with limitations. Needs to learn the finer points of quarterback technique and mechanics. Dan LeFevour (Central Michigan) – 6030, 229. Moves well in the pocket. Extends the play. Has a live arm. Steps into his throws. Improved his overall game as the week went on. Appeared more comfortable under center. Good anticipation on medium and short throws. A mature leader and a student of the game. Disciplined in quarterback fundamentals. Throws the three step game on time. Quick release. Demonstrated poise and courage in the pocket. Right handed. Tony Pike (Cincinnati) – 6055, 212. Long levers for a quarterback with 34 ¼” arms. Right handed passer that is a developmental project. Ball velocity is inconsistent. The ball will float on him at times. Looked more comfortable in the 7 on 7 drills where his arm strength, timing, and accuracy were on display. Improved foot quickness in drops during the week. Jarrett Brown (West Virginia) – 6026, 219, arms 33 ½”. A good athlete with an NFL caliber arm. Inconsistent during the week with his short and intermediate throws. Can look very good or very bad. Developmental size/speed prospect. Needs to elevate his position skill level to make a team. Flashed some touch on swing passes. Zac Robinson (Oklahoma State) – 6023, 210. Steady week of practice. Athletic and mobile with good awareness. Manages the pocket. Better on the short and medium passes. Lacks deep ball savvy. Had a solid performance in the game by keeping plays alive with his feet, throwing the ball down the field, and stepping up into the pocket. Question whether he can throw the ball through a small window in the red zone. Tim Tebow (Florida) – 6026, 236, big hands 10”. Was treated all week for strep throat at the local hospital. Improved every day from the first day of dropping snaps from under center to his drop back speed to the throwing point. Became more balanced with his feet to his setup. Demonstrated good touch on deep passes. For the most part he reacted well to a pro style offense, dropping back and reading coverage. Dropping the ball down hinders his release time, but he improved some in this area. His leadership was evident as an intense competitor, hard worker, preparation and knowledge of the game. Needs to develop a natural feel for the pass game to sense the play quickly as it develops – anticipation. That comes with practice and timing work with receivers.
