The thing about it is the reward aspect of Locker is much higher than that of Ponder and Dalton but at the same time the risk aspect is light years greater than any of the other qbs. He's the ultimate boom or bust pick. Like I've said before, if Locker was available with our second round pick or we were able to trade down and acquire a third rounder and Locker was available, I'd take him any day over Ponder or Dalton.

Christian Ponder has such great skills, has had 3x the talent around him than Locker but what exactly has he accomplished? Ponder has shown some accuracy. OK, what else? He's about as sturdy as a paper doll? Andy Dalton? What is with the love fest over this guy? Yeah, he had a big win over Wisconsin, that was definitely impressive, I'll give him that. But what else? TCU wasn't exactly playing murders row were they?

I'm not suggesting that Locker will be the next great thing, I'm pretty certain he won't be to be honest. I'd rather not waste a pick on a qb at all this year unless we can get one much later. That is the only reason that a guy like Dalton or Ponder would be superior to Locker as Locker will most likely go in the first round where as neither Dalton or Ponder probably will. Obviously much can change between now and the draft though. I'd just rather see us spend our picks this year on players that can give us impact now or very soon as opposed to 2 or 3 years down the road.
