2011 NFL Mock Draft: How Far Has Jake Locker's Draft Stock Fallen?
If Jake Locker opted to declare for the NFL draft last year, he would have likely been taken in the first round.
However, he decided to stay another year in school and his draft stock has plummeted as a result.
Locker managed to play slightly better against Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl after his disastrous game earlier in the season against them, but he still had a bad game. He completed five out of 16 passes for 56 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He ended up doing most of his damage on the ground with 83 rushing yards and a score.
While some still see him as a first-round pick, he looks like a second- or third-round pick at best. He doesn't seem to have a very good grasp on the quarterback position and it will take him a while before he can read NFL defenses and make the necessary throws to succeed.
Where would you take him if you had the choice?
