QB Dayne Crist of Notre Dame ~ 6.4/234
"Strong-armed gunslinger trying to come back from a second ACL injury; has the arm strength to make all the throws at the next level and can fit the ball into tight spaces, but isn’t all that accurate; completed 59% of his passes for just over 2,000 yards and 15 TDs last fall against 7 picks;
Surprisingly mobile considering his balky knee and can run away from trouble, but will throw up the ill-advised pass into coverage when pressured on occasion; listed as a senior by the school, but could merit another year of eligibility."

"Crist has had two major knee injuries, which are certainly going to hurt his draft stock. However, a weak group of senior quarterbacks could propel him near the top of the group and give him an edge. He is the ideal size you look for in an NFL player, but he has a lot of improving to do.
It seemed he was well on his way to showing significant strides in his game last year before being injured against Tulsa. Crist is a very talented athlete who has a strong arm, and will put up big numbers in this offense if he can stay healthy. The pro adjustment will be a tough one for him, so he might need a year or two to season but he does have great potential if you ask me.
Crist was a full go in Notre Dame’s Spring practices, so he is healed already from his serious knee injury last year. He should be on NFL radars as he is a good team leader, but he needs to really work on his accuracy over the course of the offseason. If he can improve in that regard this year, up into the 65-68 percent range, he will probably have a 2nd round grade, maybe better."
