I'm still sticking with either Mallett or Locker at this point as my pick.

Technically it's a very deep QB class but the thing that at least scares off many fans is the lack of High Floor High Ceiling types. In fact it scares people off every year. People here in Atlanta yelled at Dimitroff for taking Ryan over Dorsey. "Are you kidding me? The guys inaccurate. He throws to many picks. He can't even win the ACC! Build the trenches then draft a QB." Now people are all Matty Ice this Matty Ice that.
Raven fans thought Newsome had lost it when they traded up into the first round to take Flacco. "A spread QB from an FCS school? We're doomed."
Bottom line, unless you're drafting Andrew Luck or have built in the trenches for years with nothing to show for it like St. Louis your fans will yell at you for taking a QB. Lol, thats why Ram fans got on board with Bradford. While we were talking about the shoulder and the risk of injury the Ram fans were like "if we draft another freaking lineman I'm going to shoot myself."
