Tidbits:

Quote:

"Blake Bortles is a giant, even bigger than I expected him to be. It's amazing that he is as elusive and athletic as he showed the last two years at UCF despite being 6'5 and 232 pounds with 9 3/8" hands."

Quote:

"He will have a chance to leave scouts buzzing even more with a good 40-yard-dash time and throwing session this weekend. I still see too much inconsistency with Bortles' game. I wish he were more accurate. I wish his footwork were more consistent. But there's no denying his physical tools and attitude make him a tantalizing prospect."

Quote:

A summary of Manziel in his press conference: calm, professional, humble, smart and extremely well rehearsed.

Wow Manziel is a half inch under 6' tall. That will hurt is draft stock.

Will the Chiefs even draft a QB???? Big $ commitment to Chase Daniel and Tyler Bray has performed well thus far. I thought they might get one late, but I am beginning to doubt it.

No one delivers an ice cold cup of water like Bray... no one!

A few teams with quarterback needs have an interesting strategy. I’ve heard that at least four quarterback-needy teams—Houston (first pick), Jacksonville (3), Cleveland (4) and Oakland (5)—are strongly considering passing on quarterbacks with their first picks and waiting until their second or third selections. Simple reason: They’re not in love with any of the quarterbacks, and there are too many other good players who are surer things than a quarterback you have sincere doubts about. For that reason, there could be more quarterbacks taken in round two than round one. For instance, Jacksonville really likes Jimmy Garoppolo of Eastern Illinois, and he’d likely be there high in the second round when the Jags pick again, at 39.

There's a reason those 5 teams are picking in the top 5-10 EVERY year.

Peshek: QB Metrics 2.0

compares McCarron, Mettenberger, Boyd, Shaw, Murray.

So... I finished my own personal QB rankings. I have them split into rankings as mobile QBs and pocket QBs. I have detailed write-ups of each of them on the link. And... well.. let's just say it doesn't go along with the consensus. lol. Not that my opinions ever really have since I started spending way too much time doing this stuff. *Please note that "mobile" does not mean "running." It has to do with a QB's ability to move and to throw on the run, incorporate rollouts, etc.

Jim Harbaugh: David Fales a top-five quarterback in 2014 draft

Quote:

There's a consensus on the top four quarterbacks in this year's draft: Johnny Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater, Blake Bortles and Derek Carr (in no particular order, of course). But who rounds out the top five?

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has a bit of an unconventional choice. Not AJ McCarron. Not Jimmy Garoppolo. Not Aaron Murray. Harbaugh says it's San Jose State's David Fales.

"I'm a big fan," Harbaugh said, according to the Sacramento Bee. "My personal evaluation of this class has David in the top five."

Jeremiah said he liked Fales' accuracy as a passer and believes he could succeed in an offense that relies more on rhythm and timing than on the deep ball. But Harbaugh said he doesn't have a problem with Fales' perceived lack of arm strength.

"You see a very compact throwing motion today, more compact than I saw during his career," he said. "But he was still throwing the ball 50, 55 yards downfield, throwing the deep comebacks, the outside lanes like he threw in college, easily, accurately and on a line. We talked a little after the workout. I don't see any deficiencies that way."

This is the Qb who worked out with Alex Smith last offseason, and this offseason.

Trent Dilfer called Fales a "trent green clone"

hmm, I could see the 49ers drafting Fales and then eventually trading him to the chiefs to continue the chiefs-49ers qb pipeline.
