Re: Is locker going in the first or second?
I think I'm with the majority around here that doesn't want us to take one of these qbs in the first round. None of them really scream "franchise Quarterback". That being said, if they absolutely are determined to take one, then I'll go with Locker. While he has a number of issues to work on, the ones he doesn't need to work on are his mechanics or learning how to take a snap from center. Eliminating those tasks will make it a little easier in teaching him the rest of the pro game. If we take Locker, we should not see him starting if all goes well until perhaps 2012. I'd like to see them do with him what Bill Walsh did with Joe Montana: put Locker into the game in low stress situations where the final outcome will be more than likely positive, but not dependent on Locker win/lose the game. Let him build up his confidence some while still seeing live action before becoming the starter.
I feel we should trade down and add more picks. See what falls to us and go from there. If trading down isn't an option, take a guy like Quinn as V. Miller is unlikely to be available outside the top 5 and if Locker is there in the second take him, otherwise, take a interior lineman, cb or wr.
