Pass protection out of college means very little especially with all the air raid these guys are coming from.
Also I could care less about mock drafts most don't even take fit into account. I seen Klancy to Baltimore a couple times whats he going to do play the 4i or 5 nah not going to happen. As for Gibbs skillset no there is very few most can't just line up and win at WR. Gibbs can and does.
Most of the people doing these mocks have a good bit of knowledge of the game and in many cases a far more intimate relationship with teams than any of us will ever have.
I will agree to disagree about Gibbs and from what I have seen of him blitz pickup does not seem to be in his near future. It sounds like you wish to have him more as a WR than a RB. What is your plan for running between the tackles or taking on a heavy front in short yardage? Even his scouting reports talk about his him not being particularly effective in traditional RB roles and more as a pass catcher.
Quote:he could see his effectiveness diminished inside. Gibbs might be better off with a more measured carry count as an RB2, but his versatility and pass-catching prowess will give creative play-callers an opportunity to exploit certain personnel groupings and find mismatches in space.

So in essence you are talking about using your first round selection on a part time RB/WR?
