Thread: Blaine Gautier and the draft?

  1. #1

    UL Football Blaine Gautier and the draft?

    What's the latest on this or is there news? Is it too late? I think he should try. He could take over for Blaine Gabbert at least!

    He wont get drafted
    His best hope is to make it to a rookie minicamp, and then hope to impress and get signed as undrafted free agent from there

    Mainly because he was injured for most of last season?

    He had 1 good year playing in a spread offense and he is 5'11

    Not an NFL QB.

    Doug Flutie

    The great size silencer.

    Not anymore. If you're not 6'4" and at least 230, you're not an NFL QB...

    He may have to start drinking some Molson's!

    Wilson didn't play in a spread offense at Wisconsin. Playing under center is a different ball game.

    I think he would do great in the CFL.

    Their was a similar -oft quoted- standard before Flutie, so I am not surprised to read your purchase.

    Then there was Garcia the jumping giant killer. Listed as 6'1" but known to be 5'11"

    Drew Brees is listed at 6'0 and 209lbs.

    Height aside, his body of work is too small, he had 1 good year in a spread offense against what's considered the lowest competition in D1....rusty smith from fau played for 4 years at 6'5 in a pro style offense and he was a 6th round pick. Blaine will not get drafted, most spread QB's don't get drafted regardless. He may get in a camp somewhere but I doubt he will be there long. Could have a career in the CFL. I have a feeling you will see gautier on the sidelines at cajun field next year.

    I agree 99 times out of 100 (perhaps more) you have to have an outstanding final campaign to get drafted.

    He is almost the exact opposite in what NFL teams look for in a QB. This isn't a knock on Blaine. He's meant the world to us. But he's not nearly tall enough to be a NFL QB. And it's not like he makes up for that with tremendous accuracy. He may have a shot to get signed by a team if he preforms well on pro day. But he'd have to change positions. Desormeaux had a chance to make the Jags as a safety. Blaine would have to do something similar.
