Admittedly though, I go back and forth on whether Ponder will just be solid or if he has the chance to be great. I think at worst, he's solid. Locker on the other hand, could be far more impressive but at worst he could be abysmal. I guess it's about the risk you want to take.
There's been some McElroy rumors too, but if that were to happen it's not happening in the 1st two rounds

McElroy isn't my favorite of the mid-late round guys, but too often, guys in that 4th-6th round range don't get the same opportunity as rookies that 1st rounders get. On this team, if we addressed QB in the fourth round, they would get a shot to play as a rookie.
Ultimately, that's why Kyle Orton is relevant in this league and why every other fourth round QB since is irrelevant. Orton played (and was horrible) as a rookie because the Bears had no one else. Grossman was supposed to be the starter for that team, but was hurt in the preseason (his broken leg year). Just drawing the obvious parallel.
