Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
Ht: 6’ 1 1/8” Wt: 216
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: McCoy is an excellent leader and shows very good ability to throw the ball accurately on the move. The Browns' style of offense should suit McCoy well, but his limiting physical ability may diminish his impact. He could exceed expectations, but quarterbacks of his size and having his arm strength rarely succeed at the NFL level.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Played in a quick-hitting offense that promoted the development of arm throwers and may require some time to learn how to snap his arm and torso into throws. Will never be a prototype pocket passer with a big-time gun but does possess the toughness, accuracy, intelligence and intangibles to become an NFL starter or, at worst, be a great backup. Would be best in a West Coast offense where he could use his athletic ability to move around the pocket, sprint out and create some plays in a similar mold as Jeff Garcia or Jake Plummer. Key to success is proving he can stay healthy and handle pressure.
NFL projection: Top-50 pick.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report:
The intelligence, moxie and leadership skills that made McCoy a four-year starter and the winningest signal-caller in college football history are all appreciated by NFL teams. His slight build will make scouts question his durability, but given the rest of his tangible and intangible positives, one would expect McCoy to be an NFL starter following some development.
