I was curious as to the comparisions between the two in case we took another QB w/ the # 1 pick. Very interesting and similar

| NFL Draft History .
Strengths: Is tall enough to scan the entire field from within the pocket, reads defenses fairly well and generally finds the open man given enough time. Accurate, takes something off underneath passes and can lead receiver when throwing underneath. Puts good touch on downfield passes and flashes the ability to drop the ball in over coverage. Mobile enough to get outside the pocket and throws well on the run. Shows good poise, is a leader on the field and wants the ball in hands late in games. Appears to be adjusting to new offense well and can be an effective game manager.
Weaknesses: Doesn't have a cannon for an arm, doesn't put great zip on downfield passes and gets into trouble when tries to throw into tight coverage. Lacks ideal mobility, has some problems buying time in the pocket and doesn't always make sound decisions when the protection breaks down. Isn't going to make defenders miss, doesn't have great top-end speed and isn't a dangerous open field runner that can consistently pick up yards with feet. Though tough and willing to play through pain, sustained a high-ankle spring during the 2006 season opener, broke left foot during 2006 Virginia Tech game, underwent foot surgery in January and durability is a concern.
Full Name: John Dalton Beck
Born: August 21, 1981 Hayward, CA
Height: 6-2
Weight: 216 lbs.
Strengths: Displays good touch, timing and accuracy as a passer. He has a quick release and does a very good job of getting rid of the ball quickly in the underneath passing attack. He possesses adequate arm strength. Gets decent RPM's on the deep-out route. He has a very smooth and relaxed throwing motion. Keeps the ball high while dropping and shows a compact and quick delivery. He possesses adequate foot-quickness when avoiding the rush. Shows good pocket awareness and will buy many second-chance passing opportunities with his feet. He has made significant improvements in terms of his decision making skills. Mechanics continue to improve and he is showing more accuracy as a passer during his senior season. He has good intangibles, including competitiveness and toughness. Is intelligent and is able to digest things quickly. He is a high-character person and hard working football player.
Weaknesses: Lacks prototypical NFL quarterback size. Possesses below average height and decent bulk. He has had some durability issues in the past, including a concussion vs. USC in 2003. He will need to improve his bulk and strength in order to hold up physically in the NFL. Has some trouble seeing over his offensive line as a pocket passer at times, he has a bit of a low release point and has too many passes batted down. Will struggle to consistently find passing windows as a shorter quarterback in the NFL. Benefits from playing in a passer-friendly spread offensive scheme. His arm strength is adequate but his deep ball has a tendency to sail. He does not make a lot of vertical throws in his collegiate system. He gets outside the pocket and shows some mobility at his level, but he does not display the initial quickness or speed to be considered a potential threat as a runner or scrambler at the next level. Spends much of his time working out of the shotgun and he will need to adjust to taking snaps from under center and reading defensive coverage while dropping in the NFL. He shows adequate accuracy when throwing on the run but is far more effective when rolling right than he is when rolling left. He is an older prospect that will turn 25 (August 21, 1981) prior to rookie season in 2007.
