Here is the quote: "I have $80 million in the bank. I don't have to play football for money. I'll play it for the love of the game but that would have to be elsewhere. I'm prepared to live my life." I actually like the Jags pick A LOT. Gerrard will play a few more years while Gabbart sits and learns. Not to mention they didn't sell the farm to get him and picked him at #10 which was a great spot considering most analysts had him top 5. I understand the reasoning behind it, and I'm glad they aren't getting Gabbert and throwing him to the wolves in his first season and letting him sit back and learn -- much like Aaron Rodgers -- however, I think they could have waited a year before they got their replacement. | ||

Jabaal Sheard (DE) to Cleveland | ||

There's so much gamesmanship in the draft, anytime someone trades up you have to assume there was either the fear that the player they coveted was very high on the next team's board, or in this case a player you were counting as a buffer for your guy came off the board. I'm guessing Locker, Dalton and Ponder all coming off the board meant 'GO, GET HIM NOW!' If that first round shakes out differently and 2 or 3 QBs haven't been drafted the 9ers are probably trying to net Kaepernick as late as they can. | ||

I mean, I don't think he could line up in a 3-4 but he still has to have value, right? It's a shame that he may end up released. Another crazy thing is that on his wikipedia page, it says he chose Louisville over Harvard! | ||
