Dalton is 25th out of 75.
Garopollo and Mayfield jumped on the list ahead of him.
Maybe i'm misreading it...but i'm kind of confused why you need to have guys that started one year--or couldn't manage even 5,000 passing yards in their career--ranked with Dalton who has played 8 and has almost 30,000 passing yards.
Because QB's like that start in the NFL literally every year. If you're trying to figure out where Dalton fits in, you have to consider the bad QB's in the NFL just as you consider the best QB's.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
