Looks like 'Eer and I ('Eye) aren't the only ones who think ESPN's Todd McShay's constant blathering about Washington QB Jake Locker being the No. 1 pick of the upcoming NFL draft was ridiculous. McShay's take led to many media types critcizing Locker's decision to return to UW for his senior season.
According to Profootballtalk.com, Locker didn't receive a first-round grade from his NFL assessment. The source in the story though, does admit Locker could be drafted in the first round because of the need for quality QBs.
The Seattle Times says that the assessment came after Locker's decision to return to school, so he might have still thought he'd be the top pick of the draft when he made the call.
And to that I say - whatever. Locker will benefit greatly from another year under Steve Sarkisian.
And when you listen to Todd McShay tout players as "potential first round pick." Yeah, well, we're all "potential" first-round picks, Todd.

I'm sure another SEC junior just announced he's leaving for the NFL and McShay has him penciled in as a Top 10 pick. If you are counting at home that now makes 48 players McShay has going in the top 10.
Locker was clearly going to be a top 10 pick in the draft and is risking millions of guaranteed dollars to return to Washington. Washington clearly doesnt have a chance to win a National Championship, so its definitely a gutsy move for him to pass on the draft.
