Gabriel

No not Roman Gabriel. The kid from Oregon. I'm thinking if he's there in round 2 he may be the pick

 

He was clocked at throwing the football at 75 mph during the Senior Bowl and after playing 6 years in college, he holds most of the NCAA passing records. But he is only 5'10" and will turn 25 later this year. Those things will scare away a lot of teams.

 

But, does he have "it"? Wilson is only 5'11", Kyler Murray is 5'10" Flutie was 5'10" (maybe) Brees is 6'. Mike Vick is 6'. All have/had pretty good careers. Height isn't everything. Ryan Leaf is 6'5". As for age, 24 years old coming out of college? That's 2 less years of being hit by NFL defenses. Brady and Blanda played pretty well in their 40s. Wilson and Rodgers are above average as they age. If this guy has IT, why not take him and get 10+ good years.

 

I'm just saying what the mock drafts are projecting for him. One thing for sure he has been really good his entire career.

 

I don't know anything about the college game. I just know there are a few good college QBs who couldn't make it in the NFL, Tebow, Manziell, Leaf and there are a few "scrubs" who did pretty well, Montana, Brady, Purdy........
