Andy Dalton, Cincinnati, 35th Pick, 2011 NFL Draft


Dalton, Andy TCU 6020 213 4.87

Four-year starter. A developmental project who is skilled in a
zone read offense in college. As with all other spread formation
quarterbacks, Dalton must work at taking snaps from under
center, develop his footwork to the throwing point, and work
from a pocket among a myriad of NFL nuances of quarterback
play. He does have a skill set such as a quick release, above
average accuracy, and timing on his passes. His catch and release
quickness comes from his offensive schemes’ predetermined
reads. Arm strength is best short and medium. His deep ball has
a tendency to hang or fade before it reaches its target. Uses the
pump fake to move the safeties. Intangibles are all good. Will
need to overcome his position skill level deficiencies to be
more than an NFL backup quarterback. 2010 stats: 2857 yds,
66.1%, 27 TDs, 6 INTs. Career stats: 10314 yds, 61.7%, 71
TDs, 30 INTs. Ball velocity 56 mph.
