Every one has their favorite:

TJ Yates 6'4" 220

Stats: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=183674

Many good QB's around that did not play for high profile teams - no one ever gives them any props since they never make ESPN U or the highlite reels.

Note he had 3 TD's 412 yds 157 passer rating versus LSU.

just saying - everyone has their own favorites.

I like Dalton and I think he has potential. Up until this year all that was asked of him was "Just don't mess up". He had the benefit of a tremendous defense every year, so not much was asked of him. This season and some of last season he was given free reign to make plays. That offense benefits Quarterbacks by little short passes and 4 receiver sets to get skill players in open space.

That being said, he has definitely made some NFL-caliber throws and when he does throw down field, he is generally accurate. At 6'2-6'3 220 lbs, his size should not be an issue. I like this guy in the third round.

To be honest I know absolutely nothing about this Dalton kid, but to say he could be as good as Mark Sanchez...doesn't inspire confidence. He may end up a very good QB, but I got tired as hell at seeing so many passes batted at the line this year...I'd like a QB that's at least 6'4 please.

6'2 is not undersized. Ask the team that just beat Peyton Manning's.

will be curious to see where he measures up at the combine since he's listed anywehre from 6'1" to 6'3"...

Also comparing him to the Jets QB... Sanchez was a pretty highly touted prospect. Wasn't the tallest but had most of the rest... Dalton's arm isn't that strong and his accuracy is so so at times which concerns me.

The other senior quarterback who most intrigues Mayock is TCU's Andy Dalton. Mayock first got an up-close look at Dalton last summer while working with the quarterbacks at Peyton and Eli Manning's annual passing camp, in Thibodaux, La. Dalton, who led the 13-0 Horned Frogs to a Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin, will be one of the draft's fastest risers this spring, predicts Mayock.

"The kid jumped out at me last summer,'' Mayock said. "I told friends of mine in the NFL, he's going to surprise people as a senior. He's at least a second-round quarterback. I think he's got a bigger arm than people thought, with a better physical skill set, and he's certainly won a lot of football games in college. The longer I do this, at the quarterback position, once you get past certain measurables like arm strength and size, the most important thing to me is the football work ethic and the football intelligence.

"Those are hugely important, because those are the kind of guys who end up winning games for you, and they're the type of guys who can take their game to a whole other level in the NFL. That's why I was so high on Matt Ryan three years ago, because of his football IQ and his work ethic. And it's the Aaron Rodgers type of quarterback. You know they're going to put in the work, and you know they have good football intelligence.''

The NFC scout I talked to is very high on Dalton's intangibles as well, but projects him as someone who would require development time to interject himself into a team's starting situation. And that means this team wouldn't likely grade him higher than the fourth round.

"I couldn't hang my hat on him in the second round, but I really see special traits with him, and he could develop into a quality No. 2 and then work himself into a starting job,'' the scout said. "There's a lot of things to like about him, but he'd probably take some time and some work.''
