Bill Polian is very high on Fales, compares him to as good as the top QBs.

Another nice pick as he slots in nicely in the slot with the twin towers on the outside.

I really like this pick of Fales. He I got to watch a few of his games this past year and liked him, of course I never pictured him as a bear. I wonder if they was gonna grab another QB, but when they started going off the board they decided to get Fales and get it overwith.

But he weighs a bunch, though.

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Well built (works hard in the weight room). Sets up cleanly and with balance. Nice play fake. Compact, three-quarters release with clean, quick arm action. Throws a clean spiral with good short-to-intermediate accuracy. Flashes touch. Confident and competitive. Tough and durable. Sparkling intangibles -- outstanding personal and football character. Leads vocally and by example and is universally respected. Intelligent, passionate, motivated football junkie who takes pride in his craft and puts the time in to improve.
WEAKNESSES
Lacks ideal height and has relatively small hands. Average foot athlete and escapability. Can improve maneuverability in the pocket. Not yet sophisticated with his eyes. Tends to stare down his primary. Arm strength is just functional -- struggles to drill velocity throws on a line and is not a natural deep thrower. Accuracy wanes downfield. Needs to improve against the blitz. Just a two-year starter.
DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 5-6
BOTTOM LINE
Burst onto the scene as a junior-college transfer in 2012 when he led the nation in completion percentage (72.5), executing a quarterback-friendly system and putting himself on the NFL radar. Concerns about his height and arm strength will limit his appeal, but at worst should be a quality backup in a precision-matchup system.

Fales sounds like a Trestman like guy, he likes the nuts and bolts of the position. He is the next Josh McCown. Yeah, that's right, as a Limey I went there. Get in.

The good thing that helps a guy like Fales whose biggest weakness is the lack of a power arm is that he has huge targets to throw to. So his jump balls don't have to be perfect but just in the vicinity.

I don't think Emery's a bastard, but I agree that LB makes the most sense here.

That's the only reason I'd want him too. Any 700 pounders still available?

There's gonna be some good UDFA's available. I'm sure Emery is already working the phones.

"But Jim Harbaugh, whose reputation for choosing and developing passers - some of them obscure at the time -- is well-earned, believes a local, less-heralded product deserves Top-5 ranking: San Jose State's David Fales. "I'm a big fan," Harbaugh said after watching Fales work out on Friday. "My personal evaluation of this (draft) class has David in the top five."
Fales completed 64 percent of his passes last season for nearly 4,200 yards. He had a memorable game in a shootout against Fresno State in which he completed 37 of 45 passes for 547 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. It turns out 49ers general manager Trent Baalke attended that game, which was held only 11 miles south of the 49ers headquarters and its new stadium.

Yeah, but if they can find a ST contributor who has the potential to start later, they'd keep that guy over Senn who's purely a ST guy.
