Yates, TJ North Carolina 6030 219 5.10

Ponder,Kaepernick,Stanzi,Locker,Dalton & McElroy Notes

This is the Ourlads take on the QB's at the 2011 Senior Bowl.

QB: Colin Kaepernick (Nevada) – 6045, 225. Long levers, 33 ¾” arm
length. Ran the Pistol offense in college where he took the shotgun snap.
Good week of practice demonstrating arm strength and ball velocity. Did a
good job of moving in the pocket and sliding away from pressure. Impressive
mobility and deep ball accuracy. Can make all the throws. Good short and
medium. A talent worth developing. A good athlete who improved daily
during the week. Jake Locker (Washington) – 6022, 228. A good athlete
who clearly can extend a play. Accuracy issues repeatedly popped up with
high passes and missing wide open receivers. Needs to improve his footwork
consistency. At times he looks as sharp and accurate as any quarterback in
this draft, especially on the move. Struggles with pocket passes. Good arm
strength. Ricky Stanzi (Iowa) – 6041, 221. Big right hand, 10 ¼”. Good
week of practice. Keeps his eyes down the field. Sixth sense in pocket. Good
feel and awareness. Poised. Can avoid pressure by sliding in the pocket.
Overhand delivery keeps ball high. Accuracy is a bit off at times, especially
on deep passes. Good field vision and touch over linebackers. Will move the
safeties with his eyes and pump fakes. Steps up into pocket. Athletic in his
play. Andy Dalton (TCU) – 6020, 213. Is a developmental project who was
skilled in a zone read offense in college. Basically started from scratch during
the week of practice. Worked at taking the snaps from under center, footwork
to throwing point, and work in the pocket. He does have a skill set to work
with such as a quick release, above average accuracy, and timing. Improved
every practice session. Before leaving the game injured, Dalton’s footwork
and poise in the pocket were below average. Greg McElroy (Alabama) –
6016, 222. A smart, aware, and heady prospect. Average to below average
skill level for an NFL quarterback. Lacks the arm strength to keep a secondary
honest. Best on short and swing routes. Good anticipation and decisions.
Good leadership qualities. A developmental prospect at best. Injured his hand
during the game. Christian Ponder (Florida State) – 6021, 222. Right
handed passer. Hand 10 1/8”. Clearly the total package of accuracy, decision
making, footwork, touch, and pocket vision. Played with good balance during
the week. A good athlete who is smart and fundamentally sound. Patient.
Consistently was able to keep the receivers on their routes, which is hard to
do with a variety of new pass catchers during the week. Quick release. Always
ready to throw with no wasted motion. A poised leader who stays focused.
Top quarterback during the week. Was voted the game’s MVP. Ponder also
cleared up rumors about elbow surgery. The surgery during the season was to
clean up scar tissue in his upper right forearm below his elbow.
