Jake Locker Scouting Report

should not be the first QB off the boards come April. If for no other reason, he needs work and most of the teams battling it out for the first overall pick need a QB now. Bradford would have been the poster boy front runner had he not injured his shoulder twice this season, which made way for ND Jimmy Clausen to step up and become the true #1 QB prospect come April if he declares. (which he should) Locker has a potential career ahead of him, but could bottom out like a skinny JaMarcus Russel if he gets thrown in to things to quickly

I dont think Locker should come out right now. If he does he should sit like Aaron Rodgers did. He should stay so steve sarkisian can work on his accrucy and mechanics. but, JAke Locker is a good leader and has great athletic ablility with a big arm If Jake Locker comes out now he will be a bust. but if he stays in college for one more year he will be good.

Wow, I'm a Locker fan and didn't know he was so highly thought of until I surfed the net and looked at mock drafts. Most of those mock drafts were prior to the UW-Cal game. Well, he certainly put an entire game together against Cal (12/07) and I heard a lot of pro scouts were in the stadium. Really polished. Great decisions, great passes, great reads, great touch, fabulous use of running ability. The Huskies smashed Cal at home. If that were his regular performance, I'd say, "heck yes, you've gotta go now." At the same time, I really think he benefits from a second full season under head coach, Steve Sarkisian, a former great qb at BYU and a great qb coach, because that Cal game wasn't his usual at all, it was surprising even to Locker fans like me.

reminds me alot of jay cutler

I'm a Dawg Fan but I think the expectations are way too high for Locker. He has all the measurables size, speed, etc. but he doesn't throw a catchable ball. His completion percentage is low and a lot of his incompletes the wr's can't even get there hands on. He constantly overthrows deep balls . My other concern is that he's fast but not elusive and as a result he takes too many hard hits.

I am a huge Dawg fan an I am very excited he decided to stay, I totally agree that it was the best decision to stay but for someone to say that he could end up like a skinny Jamarkus Russel is trash, you obviously dont know anything about Jake Locker, He is built and as tough as a linebacker, and punishes defenses with his hitting power, also his scouting report up at the top i believe needs to be reevaluated 4.59 40 speed is 100 percent incorrect, " good but not great" check your stats, Locker runs a 4.3 40 and that has been confirmed by far the fastest as well as the QUICKEST (which are two differant things) QB in the country and one of the fastest 40 times in the nation, lightning bolt on the corners and very hard to tackle.no one can predict how a player will be in the future which has been proven under the likes of Geno Torretta, Heath Shuler, Tim Couch, so on and so forth, but keeping in mind that Jake doesnt suffer a horrible injury i guarantee he will be the first QB taken if not the first pick in the 2011 NFL draft.

Very surprised he stayed in school. It was the right decision because he has tremendous potential but he needs some more polish before he heads to the NFL. Great size, great arm, great running ability. The next year in a pro-style offense should make him an elite quarterback and assure himself of a number 1 overall selection

Top ten pick next year. Maybe the Bills?

Locker is awful. Simply awful. I have no idea why everyone is so high on him. I live in the NW and I have watched him play since he was a freshman. He has shown flashes of ability, but is wildly inconsistent and simply cannot put it all together. He completes a very low percentage of his passes and makes poor decisions. Washington lacks talent around him, but if he is truly a #1 prospect, he should make his team that much better. But he has not done that. Plus he has proven that he cannot stay healthy. He is Tim Tebow without the Golden Boy persona (and championship rings). He will not be a successful NFL QB. I can't wait for him to get drafted high and then be a complete bust.

He will go in the first round, however I think people are giving him too much credit and not enough in others. His positives are he is a great leader and as good of a person as you will ever find; his athleticism is unquestioned and has solid arm strength. His negatives are his clear lack of accuracy and the inability to read coverage. You cant teach accuracy no matter what people say and the fact that he is still having trouble with his reads is a big concern. But above everything else he is fragile and that will only get worse in the NFL. draft with caution
