“Everybody is questioning me, wants to know, can I do it,” he said Tuesday. “So this week I really want to show I’m capable of making my reads, dropping back and seeing the defense.”


Kaepernick, who stands 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, certainly is backing up his words this week. Sports Illustrated draft analyst Tony Pauline said that through two days of practice, Kaepernick has been by far the most impressive quarterback, better even than Washington’s Jake Locker. The Dolphins, in need of a quarterback, have interviewed Kaepernick, and a league source said the team thinks very highly of him.

Pauline said Kaepernick is “really helping himself” this week and has a chance to shoot past Locker on draft boards and get drafted in the second round, likely after Blaine Gabbert, Newton and Ryan Mallett are off the board.

I'm not sure if he is worth #15 value. I get wary of quarterbacks that seem to get it during Senior Bowl week, but were not as dynamic during games during the season. I am definitely not an expert when it comes to analyzing college players, so, I like to look at what they did against good competition.

i was thinking more about trading back from 15 and taking this kid with an added 2nd rounder, or move up from our 3rd rounder into the 2nd round to get him. He'll probably get drafted late 2nd round like Henne did.

He's got some "gamer" to him. Did you guys watch him against Boise? What a comeback. i think this team needs a dual threat at QB

Would love to grab this guy in a later round.

Me too Adam. Though his stock is going up. I think he is off the board in the 3rd. Or possibly earlier depending on his combine results.

Kaepernick has dispelled notions that he may be just a running QB with a strong arm but no touch. His accuracy and "delicacy" have been better than expected

After watching him play this week, I'll admit that I was wrong about the arm strength. He definitely has a gun. Similar to Henne's.

He is still a huge project though.

Could be worth a late rounder though. Continue to build the O-line with our 1st or 3rd, add a playmaker and take a project late.

If somebody was stupid enough to spend a 1st on Tebow, somebody will pull the trigger on Kaepernick

Josh McDaniels and Cam Cameron have been stripped of their duties of drafting.

He won't get past the 2nd round PZ. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he sneaks into the first round.

If somebody was stupid enough to spend a 1st on Tebow, somebody will pull the trigger on Kaepernick, who is twice the QB Tebow is or ever will be.

Can we go ahead and yank the "steal" and "sleeper" labels off Kaepernick? Safe to say after Mobile, and after no less than 789 articles about what a riser he is, the cat is out of the bag. Oh, and Kaepernick is faster than Tebow strapped to a 757.

Yeah. Stupid move to draft a franchise QB who is going to wind up bringing that team to the playoffs for many, many years to come...if it can find a defense. Stop listening to Kiper and McShay who fueled the "Tebow will fail" machine for six months last year. Did you watch him play this year - as a rookie in the first season he's had to re-work his game?

Guy had 11 TDs and started only three games (but played in four others). He passed for four touchdowns in the three games he started, single-handedly beat Houston, almost single-handedly beat San Diego and rushed for 78 and 94 yards in two of three games.

I understand where the intrest comes from. The answer is ANDY DALTON. The most accurate QB in the draft by far. A winner, has a thing about him. Accuracy= Brady, Rodgers. Kapernick has potential. Dalton, Dalton, Dalton!!!

I'm sensing a Phins Rock/Matt Ryan series of postings for the next few months.

Once teams have tape on Tebow, he'll be shut down.

I will respectfully disagree... Tebow will be as dynamic as Vick, if not more... but successful.

Pat White?

Kaepernick has a laser arm and turbo cleats. If he completely figures out the NFL game, he will be scary good. We could be seeing the end of Alex Smith here.

How about Alex Smith?
