Once again Locker has some legit talent around him too, Auburn doesnt have MUCH better talent. Overall, yes, but that's not what made Newton look WAY better this year. HE's just that much better than Locker.

And you never responded to do you think Locker would of been nearly as good as Cam in Auburn's offense this year. I guess it's because the answer is clearly hell no.

So in the first link one guy has him Top 10 while the other has him outside the 1st round. The second link that guy has been way off a lot of times (Also from the start of the month). Not a very good looking mock either overall.

At any rate, it's clear Locker has fallen way off on most people's minds in terms of NFL overall. If he didn't start the year thought of so highly he wouldn't be on anyone's 1st round or Top 32 player list.
