SmootSmack

The first few throws the focus was on showing Locker's feet

overall I think JL will be a first round QB, I hope we can get him by trading back into the 1st

If they really think he's their guy then I would just draft him at #10 and not try and get cute. Trading back into round 1 from #41 will probably cost them next years #1 pick...I would rather just spend this years #1 pick on him then next years. They can still try and trade back from #41 to gain extra picks and get help in other areas.

Caught a little of the coverage of this last night on nfl network. I couldn't pay much attention but from what I heard it sounded like he had a pretty good & accurate day. True?

About what you would expect for a scripted workout. I don't think it changed his stock any.

Yes. QB pro days are so artificial. Other than the opportunity for face time with the prospect, pro days don't tell you much unless the guy sucks in his audition. Pro days are so set up to make the guy look good that it is only really news when he fails.

Cam may be the most polarizing prospect because of his off-field history. Locker is the most polarizing because of his on-field history.

After vascillating a bit on this, I think I am most comfortable with this scenario. Locker has alot of Plummer like qualities and the Snake played well under Shanny's system. Trading back a little, picking up an addidtional pick and still getting Locker would be ideal.

I just don't believe in this strategy when it comes to QBs. It's fine if you have a list of 4 defensive players on the board that you love and think you can add picks and still get one by moving down. But the QB position is unique...If Shanny likes him enough to be his franchise QB then you just quit fooling around and draft him at #10. If they trade down and open up the possibility of the Vikes taking locker at #12 then in my mind the only conclusion I am left with is they don't like Locker all that much. And if they only sort of like him then I don't think I want him here...

Mike Shanahan seems very decisive and self-assured, but his history shows some indecision, or at least struggling, w/some of his qb moves. Recently, we saw that in 2010 when he first pulled mcnabb. His story just wasn't straight, like he wasn't quite sure why he did it. I know he may have been taking the heat for his son. Then rex becomes the starter late in the year, this after Shanahan & co. traded JC & brought mcnabb here as the qb. Go back to denver & look at his history of pulling plummer, brister, etc.

My point is that he's likely quite far from being that sold on Locker, Newton or many others. Even if he likes Locker a lot, if he feels he can get him later, he'll try that. I wonder if he's truly that sold on him. My guess is that w/limited picks in the early rounds, he's not taking him at #10.
