Is locker going in the first or second?

What I think could happen is that we draft Von Miller at 10 and wait to see if Locker drops around 20 or so then we trade into the first round- give up our 2nd and a first from next year- and draft Locker. Similar to what we did with Campbell in 2005.

My preference would be just to trade back in the first if the Shannys are hell bent on grabbing an average QB prospect...whether its locker, newton, gabbert, etc. I know its easier said than done. Miller would be a great pick at 10, but the more i here about him the more i hear he could be a top 5 pick. To give up a first next year with a better QB crop coming out next year, why wouldnt we just be patient? the more things change, the more they stay the same...

Yes. I would rather trade back and ADD picks than essentially spend multiple picks on one player and thus LOSE picks.

The trade out of the first round that we did a couple of years ago is the right idea...as long as we don't pick Devin Thomas again.
