    Jake Locker and Washington VS UCLA on ESPN Now......

    I know many are off the Jake Locker bandwagon, but he is playing right now on ESPN if you want it. He is coming off a rib injury so he is banged up, but it is his last game at Home, so he will probably look to bring his best.

    Fact is, I have been leading the charge for Luck this year, but it is looking more and more like we will not have a shot at getting him.....and now, not because he won't come out or doesn't want to come to Buffalo, but because the Bills are too good a team (I know, right?) to get the first pick in the draft. I see the Bills winning a couple more games and will probably be picking in the Top 5, but they really don't have a shot at #1. The Panthers got that locked up as far as I'm concerned. They are awful. The Bills, while bad, are competing and will win more games and just won't have a shot at Luck unless they trade. And that isn't going to happen.

    Anyway, with that said, we will be looking at Mallett or Locker later in the Draft (not that much later if they decide to go that way). I still think Locker is a good QB, but he may be the toughest QB in the draft to evaluate because of the lack of talent around him. I have watched a lot of his games the last couple years and he has a lot of drops from his WRs. So, he is really tough to evaluate in may ways. I will be looking to see what he can do at the Senior Bowl and when he gets into a position to work with better players. I think he has natural talent, jut tough to evaluate how much. But he may be an option late in Round 1 or early in Round 2 if the Bills decide to go that way.

    So, check him out if you want to tonight. Washington has to win their last 3 games to get to a Bowl, so they will need to play their best and Locker will need to be a big part of that. ESPN....on now!

      I'm working on a report for the profile now. But, so far, I see more of the same. A guy who just doesn't play with the mental markup that you want. Way too many throws where he threw it into coverage or right at the defender. Makes his accuracy look very shaky. Also hasn't shown that he can go through progressions at all.

        Just looked at the box score to the game and...

        8/17 - 58 yards - 0 td - 1 int

        I haven't seen a second of the game yet but the stats seem to tell me that he's playing pretty poorly. Was hoping this kid could turn things around but he's being exposed more and more with every snap.

          I feel like any team that wants to draft him will have to convince themselves that they can make him a solid QB who can read defenses and make smart decisions, because he isn't that now.

          I'm not sure I want us to be trying to teach that stuff. I'd rather have a guy that has shown he can do it for many years as a starter.

            And he is a prime example of why it makes no sense for a player to stay in school when they are projected to go high in the draft. Enter the draft when the hype is at it's highest...doing anything else makes no sense at all.

              Agree. He may have lost money. And at this point, he should stay in school for another 2 years... which he obviously can't.

                    How'd Locker look tonight?

                          I was big on Jake Locker and now shows he should have came out last year. This year has been a struggle for him at Washington. Look slike his draft status will continue to slide but a mid to late 1st is where I still think he will go. Probably the 2nd or 3rd QB taken. I know alot of you are big on Mallett but NFL teams will see what type of guy he is and the lack of mobility that he brings...

                            To sum it nicely, he was horrendous.

                              What was horrendus was those UCLA qb's. That had to be the worst group of qb's I've seen all year. I can't beleive Neuheisal can't find a qb in SoCal somewhere. That was ridiculous.
