From http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/22/colin-kaepernick-goes-36-for-38-at-nevada-pro-day/:

According to a league source, Kaepernick hit 36 of his 38 throws on campus, not including a couple of drops. 25 teams were represented at the workout, including quarterback coaches from the Jaguars (Mike Sheppard) and Panthers (Mike Shula).

Good for Kaepernick. No possible way he's in discussion for #1 but I like his upside.

If he lands in the right place, look for him to very very good down the line. He's so incredibly raw, but if he can sit he could really make a splash once he straightens things out.

I wonder if they really got to like him or Mallett if they would consider taking someone else at #1 and trading next year's 1st to move back into the middle of the 1st round and taking one of them?

I doubt it'll happen, but it's an option I haven't seen discussed much. Just seems odd that we're scouting all these 2nd/late 1st type QB's with no 2nd round pick.

While I like CK as a prospect, please please please no more borrowing against the future.

It would sure be nice to have a full slate of draft picks one of these years.

I'm still holding out hope we can trade down within the top 5, grab a top 5 2nd round pick and grab Mallet (or even CK) with that pick and still get Green, Dareus or Peterson with our first pick (assuming the #1 was used on Newton or Gabbert by the trade partner).

I'm going to be pretty pissed if we draft another 2nd round tweener QB with "upside." Either be sold on Newton or Gabbert as the QB of the future or don't draft a QB at all. I'm sick of this trial and error BS at the most important position in sports.

Would you be happy with trading down twice in the 1st? Maybe back to 4 or 5, pick up a 2nd, then back into the teens, take CK, and get another 2nd? That would take away gambling that any of the "top picks" are sure things ( I think PP is), and give us multiple 2nds and 3rds.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
