Well, the 49ers potentially have their QB of the future. Maybe they don't, but they've got a guy they can try and develop. Now I realize there are defensive needs and offensive line needs, but I like this pick. One thing it means is we probably shouldn't expect much time for Damon Huard in a 49ers uniform. He'll be a training camp QB and not much more.
And now, a Nate Davis scouting report:
Strengths: Outstanding arm strength...A smooth release...Nice accuracy...Great touch and timing...Anticipates well...Above average athleticism...Can throw on the run...Is able to make plays and buy time with his feet...Competitive...Good work ethic...Tough...Durable...Team leader.
Weaknesses: Has a learning disability...Does not have the ideal height that you look for...Questionable awareness...Mechanics need some work...Poor ball security...Accustomed to working out of the shotgun...Will gamble too much...An unconventional grip...Didn't face a lot of elite competition.
Some brief highlights after the jump.
