NFL Draft Inches Closer, Blaine Gabbert #1?

The NFL Draft is inching closer, as it is held at the end of the month. The Carolina Panthers hold the #1 pick and will be on the clock first. There have been hundreds of mock drafts and guesses as to what the Carolina Panthers will do. There is no consensus #1 pick, as there is in some draft classes. It seems the race for the #1 pick is between Cam Newton from Auburn, Blaine Gabbert from Missouri, Marcell Dareus from Alabama, and Patrick Peterson of LSU. Most mocks have Newton going #1, but others think Gabbert may sneak in there. Check out the NFL Draft to see if a Big 12 quarterback can go #1!

Blaine Gabbert Bolts For NFL Draft

Blaine Gabbert, the junior quarterback for the Missouri Tigers, has declared for the NFL Draft. Gabbert has shot up NFL Mock Drafts recently and was just named the #1 quarterback by Mel Kiper Jr, the ESPN Draft Guru. The Carolina Panthers own the #1 pick and it's clear they need a quarterback. It was well documented that they had intended to select Andrew Luck, quarterback out of Stanford. Luck decided to return to school so now that leaves a question mark with the #1 overall pick. Who knows, maybe it could be Gabbert?
