Been a lurker here for a while and figured I might as well chime in about his 40 time. I think you see the differences in times because they are running on field turf in cleats. I know that at the UW they are tested on the indoor track with the same laser system and can wear track shoes. The combine is notorious for slower times with the soft surface and pressure to perform.
With that being said I always thought the 40 time was bogus. Once in the league they are never tested on it again. Plus, I have watched guys that run high 4.8's out run guys that run 4.3's during a game. Some guys just have the feel. Tuiasosopo was a prime example when he played for the Dawgs.

Locker needs out of this town to succeed,hopefully it happens.If the "Hawks" drafted him it would put to much pressure on the home town boy and he most likely would flop.Good luck, SZ
Like mentioned above,Brady would flop with our stitched together OL.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

I hope I'm wrong and he ends up in the HOF one day!

Yeah, me too.
He's a good kid, with a good attitude, and is a good example for young kids.

NFL network are saying the top reaches that shocked people....
Aldon Smith at 7 49ers.
Jake Locker at 8 titans.
But the most shocking is Chris Ponder at 12.
No mention of us, we got a good player but reached alittle bit... most mocks had him going between 35 to 45, no mocks Ive seen had him making to 57, so no he wouldn't have made it to our pick

I was watching the show The Brady 6 on ESPN and they were all talking about why he was taken so late in the draft and wondering. how did all of the scouts miss out on him? Said he was too slow, had a weak arm etc. Then they asked his Dad about it. His Dad said something that I thought could very easily apply to Locker. No scout or team can measure a mans heart. Tom wasn't going to be denied. It seems to me, Jake carries himself in the same manner. Is it going to be hard on him with all the pressure right out of the gate????? You can bet your ass it will be. But I'm not sure I would be betting against that kid not to make it happen.

I loved the clip of Gruden, Chris Berman and Kiper that was played on the radio today. Kiper starts prattling on about Locker's low 3rd down completion percentage and Gruden tells him that that is about the dumbest thing he has ever heard. Gruden: Locker won't be throwing to UW receivers on 3rd down anymore.
I wish someone would round up these mock drafts and calculate the percentage of correctness. I would bet it doesn't even hit 50% after the first pick.
As for the Hawks: The OL is rapidly changing and if the season ever starts the run game could get real interesting.

Another Dawg got drafted tonight. Mason Foster went in the 3rd round to the Tampa Bay Bucs. I always liked his game and I'm happy to see him get his shot.
As far as Locker goes, I think getting out of Seattle will be a big help to him career wise. Time to turn the page and start a new chapter.

You should watch the Gruden Football Camp show on ESPN with Locker.
Gruden is funny as hell, and I think he's pretty certain that Locker can have a solid career in the NFL.
