He's also tall, white, and likes to plug it into a tight end even off the field.

Zac Dysert | Quarterback | Miami (Ohio) | 6'4'', 228 pounds

2012 Stats: 62.9 completion percentage, 3,483 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, 12 interceptionsA complete breakdown of the Miami Ohio quarterback.

It's easy to forget about Zac Dysert. He played at Miami Ohio, didn't put up amazing statistics or win a ton of games, and was surrounded by mediocre talent throughout his career. Add to that the fact that he changed offenses between his junior and senior seasons, and there were plenty of obstacles standing in his way.

Still, Dysert has emerged as one of the top quarterback prospects available in the 2013 NFL Draft and should come off the board in the first two nights of the draft. Standing at 6-feet-4-inches tall and possessing a strong arm, Dysert has the look of a potential franchise quarterback. Add to that his ability to read the field and maneuver around the pocket, and he becomes an intriguing developmental option for a team in need of a young quarterback.

Pros:

As mentioned above, Dysert is a big, strong armed passer. Physically, he passes the eye test in terms of what teams will be looking for in a quarterback. He stands tall in the pocket and has a nice, compact delivery to get the ball out of his hand quickly. Dysert has the arm strength to make all of the throws at the next level.

When moving around, Dysert seems to be at his best. He manages to find his way through a messy pocket comfortably while keeping his eyes down field looking for the big play. He's also able to make strong and accurate throws while he is one the move and outside of the pocket. Dysert is a solid athlete with the ability to escape pressure and slip through sacks. While he's not by any means a running quarterback, he does have the ability to scramble and take what the defense gives him on a certain play.

Reading defenses doesn't seem to be much of an issue for Dysert. Due to his comfort level and feel for the pocket, Dysert is able to scan his progressions confidently and find receivers open down the field. He throws receivers open often enough, showing the anticipation skills quarterbacks need to have. With his ability to read the defense and go through his progressions, Dysert is also able to manipulate the secondary with his eyes and create chances in the passing game.

He also puts excellent touch on his deep passes and has the ability to make throws from different arm angles and body positions. He doesn't need to have a clean pocket or even be able to step into his throws to deliver the ball in the intermediate passing game.

Cons:

During his senior season, Dysert did show some questionable decision making at times. He was often asked to get the ball out of his hand quickly due to his questionable offensive line play, and those quick decisions led to some mistakes for Dysert. He wasn't helped out by his receivers much, however, as he suffered from a ton of dropped passes and some shaky route running at times. Still, Dysert needs to do a better job of seeing what the defense is doing pre-snap so he can make quick reads in the short passing game and find the open receivers.

Dysert's footwork also seemed to suffer as a senior when he started to take more snaps out of the shotgun, again to take some pressure off the offensive line. He may be more comfortable when dropping back. Still, the variety of experience Dysert received during his time in college should be seen as a positive, and any kinks in his footwork should be correctable in the NFL.

The Senior Bowl wasn't Dysert best showing. He was sailing some passes due to his inconsistent footwork, and the poor decision making reared it's ugly head a bit as well. Some speculated that Dysert may have been nervous, which would be a bit concerning, but he's only going to get more comfortable in those situations.

Conclusion:

In a quarterback class where rankings vary quite a bit at the top, Dysert has a chance to come off the board earlier than people expect. In addition to the physical tools he displays, his ability to read defenses and his feel for the pocket are two increasingly important traits in today's NFL.

Pro Comparison: Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys

Some may shudder at the comparison of Dysert to Tony Romo, but the two do a lot of the same things well. Both seem to almost be more comfortable when the pocket is messy and things break down. They are also athletic guys who can extend plays with their legs and also deliver the ball accurately on the run, and arm strength isn't an issue for either of them. Where Dysert will hope to be better than Romo is in his decision making.

I'm for any QB that potentially replaces Alex Smith sooner, rather than later.

[Fairplay]

I'm on board with him as one of our third round picks, yes.

I don't remember where I saw this unfortunately...

@NFLDraftMonster: Dysert is another guy teams are going to be angry they passed on. 2nd to 3rd round selection most likely.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Sure, why not.

Packers.com presents 'Prospect Primer,' a video look at an assortment of draft-eligible players who attended the scouting combine in Indianapolis. As a four-year starter, Dysert never completed less than 61 percent of his passes in a season, and his touchdown-to-interception ratio improved every year. Dysert broke Ben Roethlisberger’s school career records for passing attempts, completions and yardage.

I don't care if it Bleacher AIDS Fire Report, I love this mock:http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...-at-every-pick

Rnd 1: Defensive Tackle Star Lotulelei, Utah
Rnd 3: Offensive Tackle David Bakhtiari, Colorado
Rnd 3: Running Back Stepfan Taylor, Stanford
Rnd 4: Inside Linebacker Nico Johnson, Alabama
Rnd 5: Quarterback Zac Dysert, Miami of Ohio
Rnd 6: Safety Earl Wolff, North Carolina State
Rnd 6: Wide Receiver Denard Robinson, Michigan (This one sucks..we already have a midget.)
Rnd 7: Tight End Mychal Rivera, Tennessee


Dysert, RND 5 (No way he makes it out of RND 4...)

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...ry-pick/page/6

Many so-called experts either love him or hate him as a prospect, but no one can dispute how productive Miami of Ohio quarterback Zac Dysert was during his career with a questionable-at-best surrounding cast.

Despite playing for three different head coaches during his career, Dysert was able to unseat current Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as Miami's all-time career passing leader with 12,016 yards.

Also, at 6'3" and 231 lbs, Dysert looks the part of an NFL quarterback. He is a solid decision-maker and can also make all of the throws with excellent accuracy that you wouldn't expect from a player drafted this late in the draft.

If the Chiefs want a solid player to serve as an understudy and eventual long-term replacement for Alex Smith, Dysert is that player.

Lotulelei- Sucks

Bakhtiari- WTF? There are so many better OTs that can be had at the top of the 3rd round, not to mention better players overall. Terrible pick.

Taylor- Another huge WTF pick. Flopnuts turned me around on him. I like the player, but Christ... late 3rd for this guy? Awful pick.

Johnson- Ehhh... I took him in the CP mock, but ever since I did it out of desperation for a LB, I've really soured on him. He's pretty limited, and I hope people aren't expecting some guy who can do what Jovan Belcher did AND perform other tasks on defense much better.

Dysert- You're right. Great pick here.

Wolff- Maybe. Don't know much about the guy

Robinson- Blech.

Rivera- Pretty good pick.

I hate this mock.
