That would be so frigging stupid to actually try and move up to get Locker. Even Billick has Ponder above Locker in his QB ratings. If we don't get Gabbert, Ponder, or Mallet, handed to us at #10, we go DE, DB, or WR. Locker is only a top 5 QB since it is a rather weak class. I am serious. You would be better off waiting a year even to get Dan Persa from Northwestern than Locker!!!!!!! Locker has to e the most overrated and most overhyped QB in recent memory. Only Joey Harrington comes to mind, but he looked like a god in college compared to Locker. The kid has nice feet, but a wobbly thrower and has a nasty tendency to throw INTS. Like Billick says, Ponder has taken more snaps than the rest of the top QBs in his class, has feet of his own and is a crisper passer than Jake. I am sorry guys, this post is almost like every other post I have made on Locker and our top pick, but to me it would be crazy to pick Locker at #10. Locker is a second rounder tops considering what needs we have. I say get Ponder or Mallet. Gabbert won't fall to us. If we could somehow nab Ponder in round #2 that would be a steal. I would see how Dan Persa does his senior year also. I know he is from NW, but the kid was very good with his feet, and a lot better statwise than Kafka. He could come in under the radar as a mid level pick.
