Strictly for this blog, strictly some very Timmy Fitz opinions on this.
I'll start with an early nomination of Nick Fairly for the Regan Upshaw award.
If Mel and other scouts are grading Gabbert as the most pro-ready guy of all the QBs out there, that's a pretty sad indication of the 1st-round caliber QBs. He's got a lot of talent and could end up pretty good, and is a smart guy. But playing him this coming season seems like a really bad idea.
He'll need time to take in the O, and work on his footwork and pocket presence. Too many times he bails on the pocket early and scrambles. He needs to be patient and more settled in pocket in the pros. Otherwise it could be pick central, and his confidence could end up pretty low.
Is Robert Quinn really a good fit for the 49ers? Would he play OLB if they still run a 3-4? What's he weigh now? Missing a year is tough.
Mel's right about his evaluation of Prince. Might still be the way to go for the 49ers.
Aldon Smith of Mizzou should pan out. I'd be surprised if he doesn't. Not sure about moving him to OLB though. Just put on 10 and keep him at DE. I've seen him read screens, draws and reverses well, so maybe in time he can pick it up. I'd have to see what he'd look like in coverage outside of an occasional zone blitz.
Just seems like learning more pass-rush moves would be easier than learning coverages.
Julio Jones is who everybody is picking for the Rams. Super talented, and a big guy. Maybe not the brightest fella, but I think he'll be pretty good.
I might throw up a little if Mikel Leshoure ends up a Patriot.
Lastly, this sums up how to end up on Al Davis' public shit list:
