Gabbert, Newton, and Locker all have a ton of negatives and strong bust potential IMO. No way I risk a 1st rounder on any of those three. Ponder, McElroy, Dalton all seem to be game managers at best, I'd rather wait into the 3rd round (if we can rustle up a pick somehow) and grab one of the three. Kaepernick I can see a high upside, I think I'd risk the 41st pick on him if we can't fill an immediate need (NT, OLB, CB, G, T) with an starting caliber player.
People's opinions of Dalton are really rising, people whose opinions matter that is.

Shonka likes Kaepernick as a guy to potentially develop if I recall correctly.

He wouldn't take any of those 3 in the 1st round, well maybe at the bottom of the 1st round. Sorry he'd take Gabbert probably top 5, but not the other 2
