Quick Take:
Developmental prospect who brought a terrific set of skills to the field at TCU. Typical spread formation project QB, specifically a zone read spread system, Dalton needs to work on his footwork from center, and the positional skillset from the pocket. He does bring an adequate arm, a nice quick release, excellent accuracy on the move, and good touch and timing. Will need to work his way out of a backup role, but could become a solid starter in the NFL, and a solid leader.
Where He Goes in the Draft:
Top of the 2nd round
What is Denver's Interest In Him?
Low.
Dalton is too much of a project to add to the current roster, and Denver will not be interested in considering at either of their 2nd round slots. Even if they were to somehow pick up a 3rd selection in round 2, it is doubtful that they would prefer another spread QB conversion project. However, they did take the time to do their homework on him, and are no doubt pleased with what he brought to TCU in terms of helping the program become a winner.

[Note: All players in the table are ranked by overall grade within their round grouping, however, the round groupings are based on where this player will likely be drafted based on where teams are currently selecting in the draft. Therefore a player is ranked within a group by his level of ability, but players in nearby groupings may have higher or lower actual grades, despite being in a different group.
