Why all of the Blaine Gabbert Hype?

I think this guy has sky rocketed the most since college football ended. I've seen him go #1 overall in a couple mocks out there. I just don't know much about him so I'll reserve any opinion on him until I see some film.
Anyways here is a scouting report from cbssportsline.com (use to be nfldraftscout)
Accuracy: Regularly shows the ability to place the ball on his target's numbers, though most of his best throws came within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage because of the Missouri spread offense. Throws darts to either side of the field on short timing routes and passes between the hashes. Gives his receivers a chance to make a play after the catch on crossing routes, leading them perfectly when he's comfortable in the pocket. Inconsistent throwing outside the hashes, however, making some fantastic throws on out routes and sailing many others above the head of open receivers or coming up short on touch throws over the top. Also inconsistent on short throws when under pressure.
Arm Strength: Has a solid NFL arm and throws a tight spiral, giving him the capability to stretch the field horizontally and vertically. Threads the ball between the corner and safety against cover-two and needles the ball through tight windows over the middle. Flashes nice touch on seam throws to the tight end. Needs to throttle down a bit more consistently; will overthrow passes in close proximity and sail sideline patterns.
Setup/Release: Looks the part of a pocket passer, standing tall in the pocket. Usually has a quick release, almost whipping the ball out. Winds up and double-clutches on occasion, but still releases the ball quickly. Completes downfield passes with traffic around him, but will short-arm throws and panic with pressure coming straight at him. Generally balanced, sometimes throwing from his back foot. Pats the ball to keep rhythm on long throws. Does not feel backside pressure well. Can get happy feet against a strong defense, though he will re-set his feet and deliver at times. Almost always in the shotgun formation, must master the traditional snap from center. When not taking one step back and firing a short throw, gets a bit long with his final drop step making it difficult to transition back forward and leaving him susceptible to pass rush.
Reading Defenses: Will take time to transition to the NFL because he runs the typical spread offense. Only reads one receiver on many plays, or even half of one side of the field. Stares down receivers and defenders read him easily. Does not look for secondary receivers, tends to take off instead. Fails to see blitzes coming consistently, even when they aren't disguised.
On the Move: Nice athlete for a quarterback his size, makes plays outside the pocket and able to pick up more than a first down on the run. Shows some elusiveness in the pocket, but chooses to run outside rather than step up to find a receiver. Falls forward for first downs, but must learn how to push the pile on sneaks. Willing to throw the ball away if nothing is available. Good mobility outside the pocket, but gets inconsistent in his accuracy and makes some poor decisions because he gets impatient. Is not overly elusive, will not escape NFL pockets and tackles as easily as he is able to do in college. Needs to learn how to slide.
Intangibles: Respected leader in the locker room. Has the confidence to win over the huddle. Willing to put in the time in the film room to master the offense. Very competitive, gives full effort on the field. Played only five games as a high school senior because of foot and shoulder injuries.

The more I look at the top of the draft, the more I see Gabbert falling to us, which means the first 7 picks might look something like this:
1.) Panthers - Nick Fairley (or Patrick Peterson)
2.) Broncos - Patrick Peterson (or Fairley or Da'Quan Bowers)
3.) Bills - Da'Quan Bowers (or Marcell Dareus)
4.) Bengals - A.J. Green (or Da'Quan Bowers)
5.) Browns - Robert Quinn (or Dareus, Green or Bowers)
6.) Cardinals - Von Miller (or Robert Quinn)
7.) 49ers - Blaine Gabbert (or trade down)
So when it's all said and done, I think we'll have our choice of the top QB in the draft, or the option to trade down with the Redskins, Vikings or Dolphins. In the end, I think JH will choose to select and develop a potential franchise QB in Gabbert.

I hope we get Von Miller and plus AZ picks 5th you might wanna check your draft order bud.

Just a mistake on my part; fixed now.

QBs are always valued higher than their true worth (especially ones with size/arm strength/mobility/accuracy), so #7 is not too high for someone like Gabbert. If this is the route we went, I would trust Harbaugh to not only work with Gabbert and show him how to be an NFL QB, but to create and offense that leverages his very obvious skills and talents (much like he did with Luck at Stanford, who was rated behind Gabbert coming out of high school).
My preference would be to go pass rush here, but if Gabbert is here, I have no problem taking him.

I'd rather have a quarterback who scans the field and stays in the pocket. This guy reminds me of a bigger, more athletic Alex Smith. He is always leaving the pocket, he gives it about 1.5 seconds before he takes off.
