2011 Senior Bowl Week

Which of course means that our strategy is to draft Tyrod Taylor as our only qb pick in the 5th.

That's an impressive read, Farrar either has access to some scouting info. or he's very knowledgeable of the position & Locker's career. Reading this really conveys just how difficult it is to evaluate qb's at this level.

It sounds like it's fair to say at this point that with his potential Locker could be the next John Elway. But unless a coach can remedy his poor decisions he might be the next Heath Shuler, who looked awfully good running the ball in DC, but we know how that turned out.

I do think this draft is so deep w/ offensive and defensive lineman we should be able to fill one if not both of those needs. They'll be a top olineman/dlineman when we make our 2nd pick.

Good read. I'm surprised that some people are so down on this guy. Yeah he needs work in some areas (who doesn't at this point?) but from what I hear from the analysts out there that I trust, he has a ton of upside and is very gifted athletically. If he's there at #10 I would think the Skins would be very interested in taking him.

Locker would be a good pick at 10, IDC what people say he's got all the intangibles. Locker over Newton anyday

So these "headscreaching moments"...the article really doesnt address them, just states them. Im glad he drops back better than anyone there, but the most important skill of the QB is throwing the ball. So absolutely miserable completion percentages he puts up very consistently and the horrible decision making INTs needs to be addressed. To say "mechanical", means project this late in the game. I say the body of work on tape speaks far more than than individual scripted workouts, an all star game and biggest crap hype of all of time, the combine. I really hope im wrong, but if we take him at 10 he could be maybe the biggest bust of all time. At least Jarmarcus had the stats to support the pick, Locker doesnt.

SmootSmack what's up with your boy Ponder? Apparently he looks pretty awful. I know he's had the elbow issue, but I hear he's telling everyone he's 100%...

Not all QBs have the sexy stats coming out of college, and there have been plenty that did that ended up as busts.

Well I've seen him live in a game and he was awful

He wasn't too bad against USC, Syracuse or Oregon St. Now true he looked pretty bad passing the ball against Nebraska, but he still managed to beat a very tough Nebraska defense. I'll take a pro style qb that finds a way to win over one that finds ways to lose. We've had far too many of the later lately.

SmootSmack

Well he's not 100%, but apart from that yeah his arm isn't looking too strong. He shouldn't try to force it, in my opinion. I think his arm strength is decent but what's going to get him drafted are his intangibles, mobility, and accuracy
