The part in bold makes it pretty self explanatory.

I feel like too many people put too much stock, positive and negative, in the predictive merit of a player’s draft position. Each one of these guys is an individual player with a story for why they got drafted where they did. There’s certainly some “wisdom of the crowd”, players drafted earlier show up as starters more often than those drafted later, but there’s also group think and sometimes some traits get over valued which leads to other traits getting overlooked.

I’m not an idiot, I know physical attributes matter a great deal in this game but what’s between the ears matters more to the QB position than just about any other in major sports. I don’t know if Gabriel washes out because his body just can clear the bar but when I look at his consistency and productivity in different environments, all against elite competition, I think that’s the kind of head-set that excites me. I totally understand why he dropped and I know I have a typical Brownsian wishful thinking but I’m very excited to see this kid in action. I love an underdog!

So far it doesn’t look exactly promising Probably another valuable draft pick that’s flushing down the drain because of poor scouting.
Hight matters.

Height may matter but other QB's Dillon's size have done decently. Let's give him every opportunity and then we can make our evaluations. Same with Shadeur and KP. They all deserve a fair shot.

I've heard ppl say that Gabriel was drafted because he fits the mold of a KS type QB --- accurate, smart, on time, etc. But so far, the reports from camp don't seem to say that same thing

IMO, KS has had the most success with bigger, pocket type QBs who can be accurate and push the ball down the field off PA

He had a couple of bad practices so he's already claiming it's wasted draft pick. It's a case of having crystal balls.
