Dooley hasn’t fixed Lock’s problems, but I don’t see that he’s made them worse, either.

Unless he is taken by a QB whisperer like Andy Reid, I'm not sure if his bad habits are going to be coached away ever. All it takes is for him to convince one NFL team otherwise, though.

Even if the Oregon kid stays in school, I don't see Lock as the top QB prospect. Too much other ridiculous talent at the top will get the needy teams waiting till Friday.

I agree. He needs to go somewhere he can sit for a year or two before becoming the guy.

His stock dropping a little bit but not a ton may work out better for him in the long run.

He’d be better off landing with a team picking in the 20+ range than a team that needs him to play right away.

I could see New England taking a look if he fails to a spot they’re comfortable with.

What are Lock's problems?

That's the thing that's so frustrating for me - I don't see a set group of problems with him. It's not like Gabbert where you just say "if someone could get him to stop staring at the rush..."

Instead it's just "man, if someone could get him to stop making 2 monumentally stupid errors/gm..." And those errors are often different types.

He needs to work on surveying the field and progressing through reads, but that's not a Lock issue as much as it's just a normal young quarterback issue. He also needs to work on his touch; if he can't just step into a throw and rope it, it's probably not gonna be a good one.

But at some point is that a fixable problem or just evidence that he's more Davis Webb than Matt Ryan? It makes you ask if maybe he just isn't the prospect we thought he might be (and maybe Hall is the horse in that offense, not Lock).

Not a baller. Not a high IQ player. Won’t carry a team. Physical talent is good but he’s not a franchise guy

I think he's going to be a Buccaneer.

He doesn't have QB instincts. I'd love for him to be a HOF QB, but I don't see the instinctiveness.

That is supposed to be automatic PI. Contact without turning around to find the ball.

:-) at all the ignorant Lock haters.

Yup. But ya don't get all the calls. Well, unless you're the Pats.

Pass blocking has regressed

Yeah Lock has a bunch of limitations.

Doesn't have very good pocket presence and usually struggles under pressure. Always seems to struggle on 3rd downs vs good teams. Inconsistent accuracy especially in the intermediate range & doesn't seem to have great touch in that range either. Has always been a one read guy in our system and can lock onto his receivers and he can make some terrible decisions.

He has some great attributes obviously, but a bunch of weaknesses too which would scare me off from drafting him high.

Barry Odom is incredibly bad at his job
