Definitely one of the strongest drafts I can remember. The only guy who looks like a complete bust is Gabbert.
You mean "the most pro-ready QB in the draft" according to many ESPN and NFLN experts?

Unbelievable draft, the big college programs are turning around NFL ready talent at an unprecedented rate.
Gabbert is going to be a victim to the young QB curse, thrown to the wolves to early, was productive in college in a spread offense with no competition. Not great footwork, no rocket arm and not a skilled decision maker. Without the time to refine those skills under tutelage from a veteran and in a team in flux spells disaster. Horrible situation and a borderline talent.
I never thought he was that great anyway, NFL GM's puzzle me.

Not the only metric by which he is measured.

Scott Shanle starts for an 11-3 team too.
He's clearly awesome.
Otoh, Cam Jordan is 22 and a rookie. Starting on the DL for the Saints IS impressive. HIs play this year, especially against the run, qualifies him as a solid 'contributor' in his rookie year.
