Kaidon Salter Scouting Report

Kaidon Salter is a dual-threat quarterback who combines advanced passing skills with the athleticism to create explosive plays with his legs.

Draft Grade: Round 6 - Role Specific Contributor

Strengths:

Arm Talent: Salter demonstrates the ability to vary ball speed and trajectory, allowing him to fit throws into tight windows.

Velocity: Salter has good arm strength, generating zip on his throws that enables him to place the ball accurately between defenders in condensed spaces.

Athleticism: Salter can effectively run quarterback-designed plays or use his mobility to escape pressure in the pocket, creating positive plays for the offense.

Football IQ/Instincts: Salter reads defenses well pre-snap and uses his instincts to create plays when the designed play breaks down.

Concerns:

Turnovers: Salter’s turnovers primarily stem from his high confidence in his arm, which leads him to attempt throws into windows that are not fully open.

Size: Salter’s measurables may fall below some NFL teams’ preferred thresholds for quarterbacks, particularly in terms of height and weight, which could be a concern at the next level.
