I'd go:

1) Locker
2) Kaepernick
3) Ponder
4) Mallett
5) Dalton

I agree Dalton is probably last in that group, otherwise I think its a lttle difficult to rank them. If you're rating arm strength it's probably:

Mallett
Kaepernick/Locker
Ponder
Dalton

If you're ranking athleticism it's:
Locker
Kaepernick
Ponder
Dalton
Mallett

If you're ranking NFL readiness it might be:
Ponder
Mallett
Dalton
Kaepernick
Locker

That's all the categories I can think of at the moment, but you get the picture. My ranking in those areas isn't gospel either, just my humble opinion.

1) Locker
2) Kaepernick
3) Ponder
4) Mallett
5) Dalton

i'd probably go...

1) Kaepernick
2) Ponder
3) Mallet
4) Dalton
5) Locker

but i've not really looked at this draft class's QBs too much since i disliked a lot of what i saw early on; so this isn't gospel... I do like both Ponder and Kaepernick (my gut tells me Kaepernick is probably the best QB in that list, but my eyes don't agree when i watch him on film, so i don't know)... but... my word isn't gospel... i don't think any of them are worth more then a 3rd.

At least i think Kaepernick has as good a chance as Cam Newton to be a star in the league (actually i like his eyes better then newton and he's got about the same arm and legs; frankly i like his chances more)

personally i'd be much happier if the Bills took Kaepernick in round 2 or 3 then Newton in round 1

Re: 2nd Tier QB's

I do not want Kaepernick at all.

Other than that, my list is similar to Ingtar's. I still think Ponder is the best choice.

I hope you don't want Newton then... they're basically clones. Only one seems to have OK down field vision and the other doesn't.

Newton would result in a broken TV in this house

yeah... something like that here. I'm probably going to a sports bar with a few of my friends during the draft, it will be hard to not break something if they take Newton at 3.

Re: 2nd Tier QB's

For me:
1) Ponder
2) Locker
3) Kaepernick
4) Mallett
5) Dalton

Re: 2nd Tier QB's

DB, do you think Ponder is worth taking in the 20s?

Because it wouldnt suprise me to see Miami trade down for that purpose.

Honestly no, but I will tell you I know the Dolphins are extremely high on 1 qb at 15 and its not Ponder.

Re: 2nd Tier QB's

I agree with your placing of Kaepernick and Ponder at the top of the list. I think Ponder is the safer pick while Kaepernick has the higher upside if he can remember he's not an pitcher in the NFL and get rid of his long windup

Re: 2nd Tier QB's

I hate the name of this thread. I want 1st tier QB.

Philosophically I agree, it's seems like a very important position to be "selling out".
