The sad thing is that Missouri brought in three tremendous WR prospects in their 2010 class, and people will probably think that Lucas, Sasser, and Hunt were a similar caliber of the guys that Gabbert threw to when they are light years better.
Gabbert played in a two year gap of skill position talent at Mizzou. Our running game was awful, and our OL wasn't that good.
Watch him drive the ball down the field against Iowa or Illinois the year before. It's impressive tape, as is the Oklahoma game. You should remember that one.

Then you flash back to the Nebraska game and he struggled quite a bit for most of it. I think he the #1 QB by default now. Locker was barely an avg college QB, Newton is a head case as is Mallet. If I'm an NFL GM I'm not excited about giving big money and long term deals to any of these guys. I think you are going to see the latter 3 guys slide into round 2 and possibly behind guys like Dalton, Ponder, and Kaepernick. IMO Gabbert is a mid 1st round talent that probably get's pushed up a little higher with no sure fire Ryan, Stafford, Bradford like guy in this draft. He is the only QB I would take at #21, but he will be long gone.
