Gabbert is already regarded as the #1 QB prospect of this draft. What does he need to prove to scouts?

From what I saw Mallet was in a league of his own when it comes to throwing the ball.
They were talking about this during the combine as well. Gabbert is still a project of sorts and not considered to be in the class of Stafford, Bradford, or Ryan coming out. He will be the first QB taken regardless, but he still could have improved his draft position and made some money. Instead of being taken #10 or possibly later depending on FA and trades in the off season, he could have moved up into the top 3 if he threw as well as Mallett did today. I understand his agent advised against it, but if you have the goods bring it and improve that postion.
Like I said this isn't Bradford, Stafford, or Ryan guaranteed to be a top 5 pick. It just turned out to be a weak draft and I wouldn't be suprised to see only 1 QB taken in the 1st unless you see some teams in need trade up into the back of the 1st, but some idiot took Tebow in the 1st last year so you never know.
