Predictions on Locker?

The combine is a week away. How do you think he will rate? Will his stock improve or decline following the combine? How early or late will he be drafted? Are the Hawks looking at him? Is Harbaugh looking at him? Will he be the first or the fourth QB selected in the draft? Will he be bang (Sam Bradford) or bust (JaMarcus Russell) in the NFL?
I know only time will tell, but I'm looking for predictions from all you football experts.
Personally, I wish he would have just went the baseball route.

Third QB drafted, outside chance at the second one picked. Lots of upsides, if he has a mentor for a couple of years.
Fish on...

Interesting topic as far as football goes, many opinions on him and he should shine at combine drills ie speed, elusiveness, strength, roll outs, character but when he starts throwing from the pocket ugh...I think he goes to a team with a veteran Q, that is already playoff quality so they can give him 2-3 years to work on his accuracy without throwing him to the wolves. Late 1st or 2nd round pick and prob left 30+ million on the table to come back and win the Holiday Bowl...life is not about $ but thats some serious coin to give up.

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

Jake will wind up playing some kind of ball, making a pile of cash, banging his hot wife, and being a solid citizen who gives back to his community.
That's my prediction.

If he makes it in the NFL it won't be as a QB. If he insists on playing QB,he'll be out of the league in 5 years.
I think he'd be a stud at TE. Throw in some Wildcat QB and he'd a useful guy to have on your team.

Sorry Sunday, I loved your bouncing boobs avatar and respect your fishing knowledge, but give me a break! You're saying he has the same (or less?) potential as a NFL Q as Randle El or Isaiah Stanback? Jake could have been a tight end, could have been a linebacker (or any other non-line position for that matter), but he chose quarterback, and that's his only position. Unlike many very athletic college QB's, he ain't changing his position for the NFL. Ike

Thanks for your valued input there Larry...but since you're here, I'm trying to plan an OP trip here in the near future. Could you let me know what day(s) you have scheduled with Bob so I know which weekend to NOT head to Forks? Ike

I think Locker will have moderate success in the NFL. He has all the physical tools, speed, strength, size etc to be a star.
I think he lacks in his decision making ability and to read defenses properly.
Perhaps a few years on the bench and getting coached up will help him in those areas.

You can't fix stupid. Not fast eneogh in the gray matter Classic. Physical tools, coachability, and serious smarts are why Jake will be a decent, if not better NFL QB...give him a good coach and a good mentor for a couple of years, and the stuff he's lacking will be there. In the important things, he's exactly the opposite of a kid like Ryan Leaf, who had all the physical tools in the world, but wasn't much smarter than the football he was throwing around, couldn't learn, couldn't be coached, and couldn't handle the pressure or choosing from the McDonald's menu, much less the pressure of being a professional athlete. Jake's got all the innate talents, and can be taught the rest...I sure hope he finds himself in a place with good teachers, because he can learn whatever he is taught. The important things can't be taught...athleticism, brains, speed, will to win, etc....and he's got all of those. Fish on... Todd

Ahhh...well I guess that is the point of my topic. Leaf was drafted #2 overall...behind the elder Manning bro. How in the world could the NFL scouts deem him the #2 pick? Same with Rick Mirer. He sucked too, big time, as the #2 overall pick in the draft. Yet we have Tom Brady, picked in the 6th round, the 199th pick for fuk sake. It has never ceased to amaze me at how bad NFL scouts are at predicting the productivity at the QB position. How 'bout Cassel, who completed a whopping 19 passes in his whole college career holding the clipboard for Palmer and Leinart? He was the 230th pick in that years draft but has a starting job in the NFL, while the guy he held the clipboard for, Leinart (#10 pick in the draft, Heisman trophy and NC winner like Cam), was a 3rd stringer at Houston last year and took ZERO snaps! Pretty sure if the NFL experts can't figure out who will succeed and who will suck at QB in the NFL that we can't either....that's why I wanted your predictions. Ike

I think he'll go late 1st round to a team that already has a QB. He'll have a mentor for a few years, play some wildcat, see what happens. Possible hawk. He's just so inaccurate, have to see if he can improve that.

He has shown very little improvement in the 5 years at U.W with a completion percentage of 53% and no down field instincts. Thats exactly my point. He really wasn't any better as a senior than he was as a freshman. I laugh at all the Locker nuthuggers that blame his completion percentage on dropped balls by his receivers. The problem is his lack of touch and accuracy. I can't tell you how many times last season I watched him fire a 5yd pass at a receiver,that had enough gas on it to be completed 50yds down the field. Or the 10 yd passes that went 3 yds over a receivers head. Nobody can deny the dude has crazy skills. I don't see how, after little improvement in 5 yrs at a major college,that he will spend two years sitting on the bench and all of a suddn be a quality NFL QB.

Ike The bust rate for QB'S picked high in any draft has always been around 50% there is no exact science.

Having Willingham as his coach his first three years certainly didn't help him in his development as a QB.
I'd like to see where he'd be now if he had Sark as his coach for his entire UW career.
I also believe having Locker as QB taught Sark a few lessons that will make him a better coach in the future.
