Whenever a QB is projected to be a 2nd (and at times 3rd) round pick, people tend to reach for him or teams will trade up to get him since quality QBs are in high demand, but have a short supply. We saw this with Joe Flacco, Josh Freeman and most recently Tim Tebow. I thought they were both 2nd rounders, but QB demand made teams reach for the 1st round to get them.
Even if Jake Locker is considered by most teams to be 2nd round material, I'm willing to bet that at least a few teams out there who need a QB will be willing to reach for him in the first or trade into the first to grab him.
To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to college football this year. So, I really can't form extensive opinions on players.
