David Fucillo at Niners Nation has a piece quoting official NFL Biographer Dave-Te Thomas with some very positive comments about Colin Kaepernick: “To me, he’s another Aaron Rodgers on the field. With his mobility & off-field character, I see a lot of Roger Staubach in him. He’s what I call a blue moon QB- only comes along once in a blue moon. Folks tortured me when I had Rodgers as my #1 prospect years ago & got on my hynie over Josh Freeman a few years back, but I’m not a draft analyst & judge guys on production & where I feel they will be three years down the road.”
Brandon Adams has the second part of his piece on Ryan Mallett: “In typical fashion, much of the sports community is only now taking a fair look at the Arkansas signal-caller and judging him in the light of actual NFL attributes. He’s a polarizing figure, to be sure. All it takes in this reactionary pre-draft environment is one notable writer or reporter to laud a guy, and suddenly everyone starts jumping on board.”
Dan Kelly at Field Gulls has an interview with ex-NFL scout Dave Razzano, who has some interesting things to say about this draft class: “Kaepernick is another QB I feel will be very successful. Everyone is targeting for round two. He will go either late one or early two. Again, Jake Locker, to me, is a Brett Favre clone and the same things people say about Locker they said about Favre.”
Mel Kiper and Todd McShay run through a few draft related topics for ESPN:
And seeing as we’re talking a lot about Colin Kaepernick…
Do you have any idea on who is the #1 QB on Seattle’s board? Most likely Locker?
Also what do you think about WR Greg Little at #57 if we get Locker or another QB at #25? Depending on who is available, do you think they immediately look to add some weapons for the QB?
That information hasn’t been revealed. If I had to predict, I’d say Locker based around what they’re looking for at the position.
I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to watch Little due to the suspensions. I think he could end up being that Mike Williams (Tampa Bay) type faller who is a gamble, but ultimately very talented. I don’t think they’ll rule out receiver, but I’ve not heard it’s a position they’re targeting.
I don’t know if I can get behind drafting Kaepernick if he is going to keep smiling like that.
