NFL Draft: 5 Sleepers That Could Become Stars

5. Zac Dysert-QB-Miami of Ohio

Zac is going to be a very good quarterback. At least, that's what I can gather from looking at his makeup. He is a very solid 6'3" and backs it up with 230 pounds of muscle. He can also move a little, not Mike Vick or Colin Kaepernick movement, but, not Peyton Manning or Tom Brady movement (or lack thereof) either. Something scouts from NFL.com say he must work on is, his pocket presence. He leaves the pocket rather quickly. In the NFL, the speed will kill QBs who do this. His reads must improve, he cannot stare down one guy. Those second, third, and fourth reads become important to have a prolonged career. If he improves this he could be good. That will come down to coaching, however. So, where will he go? He has been valued anywhere from a third to sixth round pick. He isn't getting the hype that Ryan Nassib, Geno Smith, or even Matt Barkley have received. This can be a good thing for any team, they don't have to waste an early pick. I believe the fourth round is his landing round. The comparisons of Ben Roethlisberger and Dysert are not stopping with same college and same playing style. Many mocks have him slated as a Steeler. This would be a good spot for the young gunslinger. He could learn from Ben and blossom into his own QB. The Jets and Browns have appeared as possible landing places also. Lets hope, for his sake, that he doesn't land in one of those black holes. The team I haven't heard around Dysert rumors is the Philadelphia Eagles. Chip Kelly could implement his movement to counter the terrible offensive line, he isn't Vick however. But, he has substantially more agility than Nick Foles. He has a powerful arm and could utilize their weapons nicely. I think Philly and Dysert would be a decent match.
