2017 NFL Mock Draft: Bold Trades Reshape The AFC

Miami (Fl.). Brad Kaaya . 10. player. 42. Blaine Gabbert enjoyed being at the helm for the opening night win in San Francisco, but it’s not like he lit the world on fire. In fact there were some ugly plays that can’t be ignored. He has improved from the train wreck he was in Jacksonville but there are still clear indications that Gabbert just doesn’t look like the kind of quarterback that can lift that franchise back up to contender status. Chip Kelly needs fresh blood of his own choosing. <p>He’ll want somebody who is good at reading defenses, can deliver the ball with accuracy and timing while also featuring a bit of mobility to keep plays alive. That describes the game of Brad Kaaya pretty well. Already boasting a wealth of experience at Miami, the 6’4″ kid is showcasing greater and greater comfort in a pro-style offense. He knows how to stand in the pocket and attack mismatches in coverage. Given the upheaval with that program, it also shows he can handle adversity.</p>. QB
