08:02 AM ET 03.30 | Andy Dalton has been on the move, up draft boards and from town to town while meeting with teams. Dalton has plenty of workouts and visits scheduled. But one workout that's new to the list is quite interesting. A source confirmed the right-handed passer is scheduled to work out for the Indianapolis Colts before the draft. Starting QB Peyton Manning recently turned 35, but based on his outstanding durability, he'll probably play into his 40s. So why work out Dalton when the Colts picked QB Curtis Painter in the sixth round of the 2009 draft? The Colts could be looking to upgrade over Painter, who technically is the only quarterback under contract for next season.

Gotta start thinking about the future now, Manning isn't getting any younger.

Very good! Dalton can play. He has more to offer than some of the other mentioned qb's that will go higher.

If Dalton were 6'4" he'd probably go first overall.

Yep... the kid could sit and watch one of the greatest ever and when his time comes, would be a far better option than Jim Sorgi ever could be.

TCU...the team that should have been ranked no. 1 last season, but I digress on that ridiculous process.

One of these days... when you are sill searching for a QB after this little Tebow experiment fails, you're gonna remember Tx and ol' Otis saying "you could have had this kid instead"...

Dalton could have a lot worse mentors than Peyton to learn from.

True. As has been proven many times, a Heisman does not guarantee success in the NFL.

Does Peyton bring a clipboard guy to back him up when he does commercials?

Yup... never hurts to have talent available.
Jerrah has made a reputation for drafting "backups"... instead of drafting the best player on the board.
Annually.
