I voted for Mallett, because when I think it's all said and done, he'll be the best QB of this class, he definitely has the arm, pretty much has the accuracy, his decision making is good but not great, his feet are probably his weakness, especially since Shanahan QB's are required to run the bootlegs and move well in the pocket. But, I feel like that can be coached up to help him improve his feet.

Gabbert is a system QB with about as good of feet as Mallett (Yikes!), so NO.

Newton has the potential to be the next Big Ben, but reminds me too much of Vince Young and JaMarcus Russell. The question that I have for Cam Newton is can you read a defense, or are you always going to rely on your legs when your under pressure. NO.

Locker would be my second choice and is another major Boom or Bust like Cam Newton. I understand he didn't have great WR's at UW, so maybe he has that Matt Ryan potential there. He has the feet of an Elway (and the arm). But his senior year he made lots of bad choices and his completion percentage was not sexy at all. No, but if we had to pick a QB and Malletts gone, then Yes, take him.
