QB Colin Kaepernick of Nevada Scouting Report & Evaluation
QB Colin Kaepernick - Nevada
One of the wild card players of the enter NFL Draft 2011 process is strong armed Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick. One of the best athletes at the position, Kaepernick completed an excellent postseason where he performed well at both the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. He is a prospect with size, arm strength, smarts and the athleticism to be a huge threat with his feet and passing. He has the NFL arm to make all the throws accurately with the ability to drill the ball into tight seams and the touch the drop the deep ball into the bucket. His awkward delivery needs some work, yet his gets the ball out in good timing and accurately. His long arms make his delivery look elongated but his timing is more than adequate. Remember the Chargers Philip Rivers was highly criticized for his throwing motion and delivery in general and he has ranked in the NFL’s top ten passers since early in his career.
Though not a first round selection, Kaepernick should come off the board in the early second round with as many as 9 teams having a high need at the QB position. I expect him to come off the board early in the 2nd round with several of the clubs selecting in the top ten teams that did not add a QB in the early first round very interested in drafting the WAC star. We could see as many as 6 QBs selected in the top 40 selections and another one or two within the next round.

Colin Kaepernick Scouting Report
Colin Kaepernick #10 - 6’5” 230 lbs. - Nevada - Sp. 4.55 Rating 85
Hindu Theory - Jason Campbell
Tall athletic senior QB completed a record setting career in the WAC starting all four seasons. Colin led the Nevada ‘Pistol’ offense flawlessly over his tenure that includes big wins over Boise St and a few postseason bowl appearances. He is a tall gangly athlete with good size, arm strength and overall athletic talent that should allow him to become a solid NFL starting passer in time. He moves quickly in the pocket and can make key throws on the move with good accuracy and decision making when he scrambles. He is a fine runner in the openfield with good deceiving speed and some power and elusiveness to make yardage. His ability to run and throw outside the pocket puts pressure on a defense. He is a well-rounded and savvy athlete with the talent to become a starting pro passer with further development on his basic throwing technique and his ability to read defenses. He has a powerful arm that allows him to make all of the throws with the ability to drive the ball down the field. He has developed the touch and accuracy on the short and intermediate throws operating in the Nevada spread offense. His accuracy falls noticeably in the deep zones and he needs work on his footwork and follow through. When under center, his setup, mechanics, delivery and follow through needs work that must improve for him to challenge for NFL starting time. He improved his accuracy each year while eliminating mistakes annually. As with most young passers, he is underdeveloped at reading defenses and coverage and needs development to go through his progressions quicker with better overall decision-making. He needs extensive reps under center before seeing any pro playing time. He has an elongated windup and delivery that needs correction, in addition to further technique work and some critical footwork on his setup and follow through. He can lock on to the primary receiver consistently and force the ball too often that leads to many mistakes. Over his starting career, he showed good ball security and decision-making and threw only 24 interceptions on his way to 10000 yards passing. He has fine mental and physical talent that makes him one of the most intriguing QB prospects where he showed leadership qualities since early in his stay. He is still raw in many aspects of play and needs strong coaching and vital time to develop his skills set further in a pro style offense. He has a very good arm and a high release point with few deflections. He developed good leadership qualities playing at a high-level vs top teams like in the Boise St upside during the late 2010 season.
The Numbers: Over the 2010 season, he started every game and completed 233 passes of 359 attempts with 8 interceptions and 21 TDs on a 65% rate for 3022 yards that earned him 1s team WAC honors. Over his junior season, he started every game and threw for 2052 yards on 166-of-282 passing for 59% with 20 TDs and 6 interceptions. Over his career, he threw for 10098 yards on 60% rate with 82 TDs and 24 picks. He also added 4000 yards rushing making him the only active player with 10000 yards passing and 4000 rushing. He is similar to NFL starter Jason Campbell in size, AA, arm strength and LOD. At the NFL Combine, he came in at over 6’4” and 233 lbs. He ran 4.56 time 32.5” VL and a 9’7” BJ. He threw the ball very well and had good agility drills to finish his workout. At the Senior Bowl week, he gave a strong showing and impressed coaches and scouts with his attitude and his ability to pick up schemes and the new offense.
The Skinny: Big highly productive athlete with the fine size and arm strength to become a quality NFL starter with some critical development. His windup needs clear improvement to get a quicker release, in addition to footwork to set up better that will raise his overall accuracy. He still needs development in several key areas including defense recognition and it would be wise for him to sit a few seasons early in his career to learn an offense and refine his basic talents. Though he can drive the ball down the field, he fails to make the tough intermediate throw accurately to get the ball into tight windows in coverage. He has a high ceiling as a prospect, but his early production could be a minimal at best and a major disappointment if a club’s expectations are too high of him early. He needs further work on recognizing different defensive schemes and learn to go through his check-downs quicker to make proper decisions. His throwing mechanics are only marginal and he needs some critical work and development with an NFL QB coach who can refine his long delivery and his overall throwing technique. Though he has to be considered a developmental player with little experience under center, he is a prospect with huge upside potential to become an NFL starter with refinement of his fine skill set. Solid prospect with the natural talent to become a good starting QB after further development and critical time to learn a system in the proper setting. Probable early round selection and marginal top 40 pick with the talent to go early on the 2nd round to teams like Bills, 49ers or Cards.
Draft Projection: 2nd Round
NFL Awards 32 Compensatory Picks For NFL Draft 2011
The NFL awarded 32 additional draft selections to 23 teams that qualified for the additional compensation. Carolina was awarded the highest selection with the only 3rd round choice granted an NFL team. They also hold the first overall selection in the NFL Draft 2001. The Houston Texans were awarded the last compensatory pick and will have the luxury of making the final overall selection #253 overall, “Mr Irrelevant.”

Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks. The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. The 32 compensatory choices announced will supplement the 221 choices in the seven rounds of the 2011 NFL Draft (April 28-30), which will kick off in primetime for the second consecutive year.

The first round of the NFL Draft 2011 will be held on Thursday, April 28 and begin at 8 p.m. ET. The second and third rounds are set for Friday, April 29 at 6 p.m. ET followed by rounds 4-7 on Saturday, April 30 at Noon ET. This year, the compensatory picks will be positioned within the third through seventh rounds based on the value of the compensatory free agents lost.
Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula.
Three clubs this year (Oakland, Seattle and New Orleans) will each receive a compensatory pick even though they did not suffer a net loss of compensatory free agents last year. Under the formula, the compensatory free agents lost by these clubs were ranked higher than the ones they signed (by a specified point differential based upon salary and performance).
Twenty one compensatory picks were awarded to clubs based upon the compensatory pick formula. By rule, 11 additional choices were awarded at the end of the seventh round to bring the total number of compensatory selections to 32, equaling the number of NFL clubs. The 11 additional picks were awarded to Carolina, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Denver, Cleveland, Arizona, San Francisco, Tennessee, Dallas, Washington and Houston based upon the 2011 draft selection order.

Hindu Theory - Joe Montana
Talented strong-armed junior passer finished his career with back-to-back excellent efforts as a junior and sophomore. Aaron is an excellent passer who combines arm strength, mechanics and delivery to make all the throws. He is a well-built athlete with both a live arm and quick feet to give an offense a versatile threat under center. He has developed quickly as an athlete, improving in every aspect of QB play over his two-year starting career under the tutelage of HC Jeff Tedford. He has filled out as an athlete and possesses a strong live arm with the mobility to be a threat on the perimeter and the agility to throw on the move. He has quick footwork that creates passing lanes and allows him to avoid the pass rush, though he has only adequate footspeed to scramble outside the pocket. He has a compact quick delivery with sound mechanics that allows him to throw the ball very accurately on a game to game basis. He is a good ball handler and carries carry out play action well with good fakes In his basic setup, he is quick to get back in the pocket with the footwork to plant and drill the ball down the field. He has excellent pocket presence with keen awareness of his unit and the quick decision making to identify defensive coverage and get the ball to the hot receiver. He has improved significantly as a passer each season, showing good arm strength to throw the out and deep ball and the uncanny accuracy in the intermediate and short game to cut defenses apart. He shows rare field vision that has allowed him to make the proper read throughout the game and seldom forcing the ball into heavy coverage. In the pocket, he looks off the safety better than any recent college passer in addition to identifying defensive coverage quicker to make the quick decision and throw. His accuracy is in a class by itself whether throwing the slant, out, or deep pass. He has learned to put air under his throws to allow his receivers to make plays. He has exceptional timing and accuracy to the point that he hits receivers in stride consistently and allows them to break a play after the reception. He shows courage in the pocket and waits until the last minute to fire the ball to the open receiver. He can make all the throws with the toughness to hang in the pocket and take the hit and get the ball off and not be intimidated by a strong hit. In big game situations, he impressed scouts with his arm both from an accuracy and velocity standpoint in addition to his smarts and mobility to manage a game with minimal mistakes and unnecessary risks. He needs work on the finer points of the position to maximize his fine throwing arm and athleticism. Though he is not a finished performer at this point, he developed quickly over his short career and responded well to pressure situations. He became the key component on a Cal club that was an annual doormat in the Pac 10 prior to his starting time. Over his two seasons, he was the only QB to beat USC that he accomplished during his sophomore season and almost achieved again last fall when he fell just short despite a great performance. He shows the ability to adjust quickly to new situations and make the correct decision. For a young passer, he shows fine poise and composure that allowed him to elevate the play of his unit and bring the Cal program back to bowl status after a long dry spell. During the course of a game, he gets into an excellent passing rhythm that increases his confidence immensely and that positive attitude gets conveyed to his teammates to play at a higher level. He has a good feel for backside pressure in the pocket with fine foot quickness to avoid a rush and the ability to pull the ball down and make positive yardage. He has the frame to fill out further and checked in at an even 6’2” at the NFL Combine, fine height for a starting passer.
The Numbers: As a junior, he earned first team All-Pac-10 at quarterback after propelling the Golden Bears to a 10-2 record. He led the Bears to a 17-5 record in 22 career starts during his two seasons. In the ’04 season, he completed 66.2 percent of his passes for 2,566 yards, 24 TD and only 8 interceptions. He ranked first in the Pac-10 in passing efficiency—even ahead of 2004 Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart of USC—despite playing much of the season with a wide receiving corps decimated by injuries. He was named Offensive MVP at the ‘03 Insight Bowl after engineering a 52-49 win over Virginia Tech with a school bowl record 394 yards passing. He threw for 246 yards and one TD in the Cal 45-31 loss to Texas Tech in the ‘04 Holiday Bowl. In only two seasons, he climbed into seventh place on Cal’s career passing yardage list with 5,469 yards, completing 63.7 percent (424-of-665) of his attempts for 43 TD and only 13 interceptions. His 1.95 career interception percentage is a new Pac-10 record, eclipsing the mark of 2.59 set by USC’s Paul McDonald. In the ’04 USC game, he completed his first 23 passes against the nation No. 1 ranked club to tie a NCAA single-game record. He connected on 29 of 34 attempts for 267 yards, one TD and no picks for the afternoon, but they lost to the Trojans, 23-17, despite having four downs at the USC 9-yard line to score a possible game-winning TD in the closing minutes.
The Skinny: Talented junior passer made fast progress over his short starting career and has as much upside as any QB in recent memory. Though he played in a QB friendly system, his production and big game performance is undeniable. He is remarkably similar to Joe Montana in many ways, especially his footwork, accuracy and his ability to take an entire unit’s performance up a level. At the combine, he ran a 4.71 time, had a 34.5” vertical leap and 9’2" broad jump, but did not throw. He has definite NFL starting ability and could become an elite QB within a short time in the right setting. He needs to learn to pick up more sophisticated defensive coverage and how to respond to it. As a collegian, he learned to take what defenses gave him, something few young passers grasped until much later in their career. He is a good athlete with the live arm and intangibles including poise and leadership to become a top flight NFL starter. As a rookie, he may not be ready to start and probably needs some time to learn a system in addition to working with a good supporting cast. He should be the 1st overall pick with the 49ers foolish not to take him there and begin a new era.
Blount & Verner Win Weekly Rookie Awards
Photo – LaGarrette Blount - Bucs
This week’s Draft Insiders’ offensive and defensive rookie player awards are both performers who were either selected late or not at all in the NFL 2010 Draft. Tampa running back LaGarrette Blount and Titans’ corner Al Verner were two of the best bargains in the draft last April and have been fine performers especially over the 2nd half of the NFL season.
Tampa Bay Bucs rookie running back LaGarrette Blount wins the Offensive Rookie weekly award for another strong performance. He leads his team with 777 rushing yards and 6 TDs on the season while playing in only eleven games. He has received more then 10 carries in only nine games this season while averaging 4.7 yards per carry and breaking runs of 20 yards or more seven times. For the season he has carried only 164 times, though his touches have increased over the 2nd half of the year.
After a shortened final season at Oregon due to a suspension, Blount was not drafted in the NFL Draft 2010. The Bucs signed him and he has turned into one of the gems of the class and among the top first year stars in the league. Blount is part of a huge Tampa rookie class that has been highly productive and includes wideouts Mike Williams and Arrelious Benn.
Titans corner Al Verner had another strong game that earned him the weekly Defensive award. He posted 10 tackles in the Titans win over the Texans. He also added his third interception of the year. Verner was selected in the 4th round and one of the bargains of the player process last spring. For the season, he has made 81 tackles with the 3 interceptions, both outstanding numbers for a first year defender especially from a cornerback. He has outplayed several highly regarded first year corners this season.
