Yet another quarterback goes ahead of Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders, who is now locked in to Day Three draft status. Gabriel will likely compete with Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett for starting duties, though he could be relegated to third string duties in 2025. Gabriel (5’11/205) is a left-handed quarterback who enters the draft after a six-year college career that saw stints at UCF, Oklahoma, and Oregon. The former three-star prospect had the opportunity to start for UCF as a true freshman, and threw for 3,653-29-7 in his first season while adding another 78 yards and four scores on the ground. He would go on to start the next two seasons for the Knights, but made just three appearances in 2021 due to a broken clavicle that caused him to miss the remainder of the season. He took up the mantle at Oklahoma in 2022 after Caleb Williams followed head coach Lincoln Riley to USC earlier in the offseason, and thrived in two seasons with the Sooners, posting a career line of 6,828-55-12. He would go on to finish his career at Oregon, throwing for 3,857-30-6 under coach Dan Lanning while finishing third in Heisman voting. Gabriel leaves college football tied with Case Keenum for the most touchdown passes in FBS history (155). He possesses sneaky rushing upside, rushing for over 1,800 yards in his career if you remove yards lost due to sacks and punched in 33 scores on the ground during his career. Gabriel is undersized for a prototypical NFL quarterback and saw 32 passes batted down at the line, per PFF. That said, he does a good job of using his feet to his advantage to create on the run, and has displayed decent accuracy in the short areas of the field. Like Bo Nix during his time at Oregon, Gabriel was a short-yardage merchant last season with the Ducks, as 65.6 percent of his throws traveled less than 10 air yards.
