According to his
NFL.com scouting report, before his senior season, the 6-3, 220-pound Kolb was reminiscent of David Carr -- blessed with good arm strength, but too streaky in his performance. With added maturity, a trimmer body and a stronger arm, he has elevated his status to the top of the position. Downside? As ESPN's Mel Kiper suggested, Kolb is a "system" QB, comparing him to Kyle Boller. ... While the decision to go with a QB this early in the draft is a surprise, the need for long-term insurance behind Donovan McNabb seems rather obvious.
