No. 5: Brad Kaaya, Miami

Projected Round: 3rd-4th

A three-year starter at the University of Miami, Brad Kaaya can be a sleeper in this years draft.

Kaaya, 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, has an average arm, but his accuracy makes up for it. He had a career completion percentage of 60 percent.

To go compliment his accuracy, Kaaya has terrific touch on his passes. He can drop balls in his receivers hands on go routes and fades.

Playing in a pro-style offense at Miami, he is a true pocket-passer and can read through his progressions quickly.

The main knock on Kaaya is his arm strength. If he can build up some arm strength, he can be an ideal starting quarterback in the NFL.
