    If it were your call who would you have selected?

    I'm just curious to see an actual percentage breakdown on this. I admit there was a part of me that wanted Gabbert when we were on the clock. But now that I've had time to settle down and evaluate, I honestly think we made the right choice.

    And I intentionally left "trade down" off of the poll choices. You're taking a QB at #8. Which one do you go with?

    Locker is a worthwhile risk in my opinion.

    Agreed. Gabbert's too dainty and will get destroyed playing against the Titans/Texans destructive front 7. He won't pan out in Florida.

    never wanted gabbert... i remember gabbert's decision to come out early.. i walked into my tv room during a stressful week of college, and espn states that gabbert was forgoing his senior season to enter the draft... largely to be considered to be the top QB of the class
    my reaction: "who the heck is this gabbert kid and i hope the titans dont get him"
    literally seems like gabbert came out of nowhere to be a "top prospect"
    PASS

    Definitely Locker. I was hoping it wouldn't be Gabbert when he dropped.

    I didn't really want either. Fairley/Quinn/Amukamara/JJ Watt would have been my preference for the pick. The Titans really need defensive players and could have used the second round pick for a QB or could have moved up to the end of the first round to take Dalton if they wanted.

    well they obviously didn't want any of the other quarterbacks or else thats what they would have done.

    Locker all the way. I was texting my friend back and forth throughout the draft hoping we drafted anyone but Gabbert.

    I just look at Locker as being the #1 pick last year. Just wanting to see what he would look like with a supporting cast.

    Also, is there anyway I can unstitch my YOUNG jersey and get LOCKER put on it? It would save me some money :)
