Mike Holmgren gets his developmental quarterback a round later than expected. Colt McCoy lands in a good situation where he will not be forced to play right away. West coast offense will mask his lack of arm strength.

Strengths
  • Excellent competitor with a proven record of winning football
  • Clutch performer
  • Accurate passer who has completed over 70 percent of his passes the past two seasons
  • Excellent mobility for a quarterback
  • Good athlete
  • Intelligent and good decision maker
       

Weaknesses
  • Lacks arm strength and struggles with his accuracy on deep throws
  • Rarely attempts deep passes
  • Has played a simple offense focused on basic short passes
  • Does not have experience in a pro style offense
  • Will need time to develop and adapt to the pro game
  • More of a Jeff Garcia type (not that there is anything wrong with that) with limited upside.  Not a franchise QB
  • Like several other top quarterback prospects there are questions whether he is really 6'3"
  • Has potential but is not a fit for all schemes.  Would fit best in a west coast offense
