2011 NFL Draft: QB Blaine Gabbert to the Buffalo Bills Is a Dream Scenario

Blaine Gabbert's stock has been on the rise since he declared for the NFL Draft, and he will likely see his name called in the first five picks. Gabbert has the arm strength, and mobility to be a fantastic NFL quarterback.
Coming out of the spread offense, he will have to make the same adjustments that Cam Newton will have to make at the NFL level. Gabbert will also have to work to improve his accuracy, as it has been called into question at times.
Landing in Buffalo is a dream come true for the former Missouri Tiger, as he gets to learn from one of the smartest quarterbacks in the NFL, Ryan Fitzpatrick. If Buffalo is smart, they will opt to start Fitzpatrick for one year, while they groom Gabbert into a star.
