The biggest knock on Dak I think is, he doesn't throw the deep ball very well. He has always shown the ability to throw the short and intermediate passes. He has never put much arch in the deep ball. He throws them on a rope. Fitz and Staley both throw a better deep ball than Dak.

Yes but you can learn how to put more arc on a ball you can't really learn arm strength though and Dak has plenty of arm to play NFL QB.

Watching Dak improve and develop into a better QB this season, I'm more convinced he's a NFL caliber QB. I can honestly see him playing for a team like the Steelers or Cardinals and thriving.

I like the Steve McNair comparison, and the potential might be there in some areas, but McNair was a ridiculous deep ball threat and we haven't seen that from Dak other than a few plays in his career. I think Dak will succeed if he gets a chance to land somewhere with solid QB coaching and starter to learn from. If he lands in a place where they're looking for him to compete early, that could be a tough transition. That said, the guy has accomplished a ton so no reason to think he couldn't do more at the next level.

He's not 6'1".

I like the McNair comparisons too, but think the Russell Wilson comparisons may be more accurate. McNair was a little more apt to take off an scramble if the HR throw wasn't there. Dak and Wilson will manage the offense down the field when needed. They'll also keep the ball up and eyes up while scrambling looking for a big play until they cross the LOS.
At worst, a team like the Eagles, Steelers, Seattle, Carolina, etc... will snag him with a late round pick as a solid back up option. However, he's got to be pretty high in some team's boards as a potential number 1 in this QB class. I wouldn't be shocked if he goes in the late 2nd or 3rd and the team says "we think we got the best QB in this draft."
If he has a year or two to develop, a la Rodgers, he may be able to be a great number 1. Just has to hit that open long ball.

I used to work security and helped keep crowds back during the Dawg Walk. I am 6'3" and he is as tall as I am.

He has 2" cleats.**

I think he's more Donovan McNabb than he is Steve McNair.
