I'm at the point with Kaep that if he was going to be a great QB, he'd already be there. Working with Warner is a step in the right direction but I'm not sure he will significantly improve.
I'd still rather have Alex Smith.
didn't he not even hit a WR for a TD? 9ers got destroyed this year and it wasn't all kaep. internal friction + **** o line is never good.Kap had an incredible second half in the Super Bowl.
Alex Smith is a stop gap QB. When we drafted him 1st overall obviously nobody felt that way but after 6 seasons as a starter here and the two seasons now in Kansas City. Should be obvious to even a casual football fan he's not an upper echelon starter.

Alex Smith beats Baltimore in the Super Bowl.
No one was beating the Ravens that game. They just came out firing on all cylinders. I mean they needed to pull the plug in order to make it interesting. Any given Sunday. And no, I don't think Alex Smith would have led them there. He's had Reid for two years now. I think Week 14, he still hadn't thrown a TD to a WR, only to Charles and the TEs. It's like Charles does the work for Smith on those little screens.Smith had 7 different OC's in 7 different years. He had no stability and some terrible teams and coaching staffs. Look what Harbaugh turned him and that team into.
Whose to say Smith would have had all the quick drives that Kaep produced in that SB.
Yeah bro he lacks the zip and arm strength to throw to the sidelines which limits their offense big timedidn't he not even hit a WR for a TD? 9ers got destroyed this year and it wasn't all kaep. internal friction + **** o line is never good.
Defintely a power back but If its running back this year its Gurley or Melvin Gordon or bust for me.This is ******ed. I imagine you didn't believe in Steve Young, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, etc, too? All of these guys took time to become the men they became.
How quickly we forget that Kap didn't play in a pro style offense in College. He's basically been learning how to play QB at the pro level.
Anyways, I am done talking about Kap for now.
Combine is in 9 day.
I am not sure where David Cobb is projected to go, but he is the type of big bodied(5'11,220), down-hill power back Baalke likes.

[h4]STRENGTHS[/h4]
Smooth speed merchant with instant gas off the line. Has outstanding body composure and an effortless stride. Electrifying foot quickness. Game-breaking speed with necessary feel of a downfield receiver. Tracks the throw over his shoulder and never breaks stride in the chase. Averaged 28.2 yards per catch and 54.5 percent of his catches were for 25-plus yards in 2014. Used outside and from slot. Must be matched by speed on defense or with safety over the top. Uses shoulder dip from inside release to avoid being redirected by slot corner. Speed creates uncontested targets for him underneath. Can snap off dig routes and open immediately. Good luck giving chase to Smith on a crosser or speed-out in the red zone. Might have been the best gunner in college football.

WEAKNESSES[/h4]
Lacks natural, soft hands. Will double catch and corral throws into body. Tries to catch, turn and run before securing the throw. Shows a lack of patience in his routes. Game too heavily reliant upon speed. Must learn to be effective when deep ball is restricted by defense. Thin hips and frame. Play strength is below average. Can be frustrated by physical corners. Gets jostled and distracted when bodied hard down the field. Desire lacking as run blocker. Often taken off field and replaced when Buckeyes wanted to run out of "11" personnel.
NFL COMPARISON
DeSean Jackson[h4]BOTTOM LINE[/h4] Smith isn't just combine-fast, he's game-fast and he would have had more than 12 touchdown catches during the 2014 season if he didn't have to slow down and wait on throws so often. Smith has the feet and hips to become much more than a deep-ball specialist and should be able to step right into a gunner spot on special teams. He still needs to learn his craft and improve his hands, but he has rare speed to score from anywhere on the field.
The more I revisit Devin Smith and evaluate his game, the more I like what I see. He needs a ton of work on the underneath stuff, but he is a murderer when it comes to stretching the field. His body control and ability to track the ball is sick on deep passes. I LOVE receivers who fly off the line. His acceleration on releases is.![]()

[h4]STRENGTHS[/h4]
Good play speed. Has twitch at top of his routes and gets separation for quarterbacks to make open throws. His father was a standout wide receiver at Kansas State and played in the NFL. Intelligent player on field who has clearly learned from his father. Nuanced route runner with ability to sell. Will vary route speed and is proficient with double moves. Scouts say his personal character and football character are top-notch. Has a knack for making explosive plays as a receiver and return man. Steps up his game when matched up against top competition across from him. Likes to block.
[h4]WEAKNESSES[/h4]
Very slightly built. Struggles with physical cornerbacks and can be redirected in his routes. Press coverage could be an issue for him on the next level. Scouts are concerned that he is too slightly built to be a full-time NFL kick returner. Likely relegated to the slot only in the NFL. Hands are inconsistent in traffic. Top-end speed in question. Got caught from behind more than once.
[h4]NFL COMPARISON [/h4]Jarius Wright[h4]BOTTOM LINE[/h4]
Highly competitive with a history of production at Kansas State. Utilizes great routes and suddenness out of his breaks to get consistent separation. Lockett is a film rat who can come in and compete for a slot receiver spot right away and should be an NFL punt returner.

yeah but another 5 win season is going to have people calling for Kap's head. Ellington is a vertical threat. just dont think WR is a priority but that could be me.
We still have two seasoned veterans in Anquan Boldin and Stevie Johnson, so it's not like we're going in with a bunch of inexperienced players. We have a specific need for a vertical threat and it will most likely be filled via the draft.
You want to continue to develop every position. That's how the great teams sustain success in the NFL. Continue to emphasize and build through the draft.
Brah a 5 win season??? Doubt that's possible with gabbert starting.yeah but another 5 win season is going to have people calling for Kap's head. Ellington is a vertical threat. just dont think WR is a priority but that could be me.
