Assuming Newton/Fairley/Peterson didn't come out...

[Carl Spackler]

Who do we pick, and why?

[mav1234]

well, at least Bowers and Gabbert are still there.

...green too right?

[Sloth]

Dareus - DT is needed and he's neck and neck with Fairley as the best DT of the draft. Either would be a reach, but we've got to take someone.

Edit: Not really seeing where Gabbert has the skillset to be a franchise QB.

Personally i would rather have Blaine Gabbert over anyone else. He is young, but he was born to throw a football, it would be stupid not to draft him.

[Ruff]

Fairley is a Senior, and Dareus and Bowers have officially declared. I would take one of those three, if Peterson didn't declare.

Blaine Gabbert isn't a bad idea either, but that's a mid-to-late first round choice.

Dareus is a bigger reach than any of the above. My draft board would be like this, assuming no other big name comes out:

Green/Gabbert (haven't decided which yet)

Bowers

that's it.

Nope, Fairley is a junior.

I just have a eerie feeling that Bowers will be the pick at #1.

Gabbert is in no way shape or form worthy of the #1 pick, Bowers is a one year wonder, Green I can get behind.

But he's a red-shirt junior, right?

Gabbert has all the tools and could be great... He is rushing up the draft boards right now, and is one of the top QBs in the draft if not the top QB.

Gabbert is rocketing up the board because he's a physical freak and McShay is talking him up.

Correct. He also is an undeclared major and listed his main reason for staying in school as "getting another year with my friends."

LPF, do you think there is a good chance Newton doesn't come out?
