College QB Jalen Milroe, Alabama (1 Viewer)

Milroe has some elite traits, no doubt, and I really like the kid. But, his accuracy is generally awful, and he struggles to get through his progressions, often relying on his feet instead. Perhaps these are coachable deficiencies, but unless and until he can correct those deficiencies, Milroe’s elite traits will barely hit the field. He does flash moments of an ability to overcome his weaknesses, however. He may be worth a dynasty Third Round pick (single QB), just based on his immense potential, but there is also a very real chance he will be a roster clogger.
I can envision Milroe teasing fantasy managers with his elite running ability in limited play, but this may be a Michigan J. Frog situation.
In short-bench leagues, I will likely pass. If I have a long bench, I might gamble that he figures it out, but he needs to be drafted to the right NFL team with the right coaching staff.

The Colts need to draft him.
Once a game is decided already-
Put Jones under center with Richardson and Milroe behind him.
I won't care the score, I'll just be entertained.
Trading a couple 7ths to add Malik Willis and Malik Cunningham to both line up at WR too should be plan B.
Time for Steichen to get creative

That's some interesting logic by Mr. Benkert. All it takes is one to fall in love and he's certainly got an intriguing skill set (with a build much suited to running than ARich), but you'd really need to tailor a very specific offense around him as others have said.

He's the Happy Gilmore of QBs. Can drive the ball a mile down the field, but can't putt a dump off pass to save his life.
I'll still take a shot at the rushing upside alone in SF if he drops far enough though.

I feel like alot of this buzz is a ploy to get a team to 'take a shot'. If anything, I think Richardson is a recent headline cautionary tale to avoid using a high pick. Not an endorsement.

Remember that QB who came into the NFL with no touch/accuracy in the short game, but developed it enough to win titles?
Yeah, me neither

Wasn't there that guy who everyone wanted to be a RB? Something Jackson? I think he turned out ok... jkjk, I know they are WORLDS different.
My main point is that for a late 3rd/4th round SF rookie pick, you could do worse even if he only ever starts 8-12 games in his career. Odds are he'll finish a QB1 those weeks on the rushing alone. But yeah, I wouldn't ever feel warm and fuzzy about him somehow developing into the next Jalen Hurts like some propose. He could barely complete passes in gym shorts without defenders on the field. He looks.... bad....
The flaw in this is that there’s just no way a QB with Milroe’s upside lasts until the 3rd round in SF, let alone late 3rd/4th. He’s a polarizing player, but his upside alone at a premium position in the SF league type will push him over most of the 2nd tier players at other positions. He’s one of those guys that if he hits, he’ll be worth a couple 1sts and if he doesn’t, it’s a wasted pick. There’s really not a lot of in between with him.

as much as I doubt he’ll hit, I’ll take him with my 2.12 (in SF) if he’s there.

Jalen Milroe seems unlikely to step into a starting QB role for an NFL team any time soon; however, if he gets drafted by a creative offensive-minded coach, he could make an immediate impact for an NFL team. Imagine Milroe cutting his teeth at the QB position with a wildcat role, similar to a player like Taysom Hill (minus the TE designation). Milroe has immense potential, and if he develops his accuracy, he could become a league winner.

Said the same thing. He could be the steal of the draft.

He has them both ranked quite low though. Relatively speaking their grades are not particularly good.

Good point on the overall rating of the two. He is clearly not very high on anyone at that position, but Milroe’s upside is at least intriguing. Really shows what a bummer of a QB class this is for teams that have a need at the position.

I don’t see it either. I could be wrong, but he screams bust.

Yeah I think it will be league dependent. It's not the most common occurrence, but I've already seen Sanders drop into the mid 2nd and Milroe drop to the 3/4 turn enough times to say it's more than an aberration. I'm also in leagues where just about every QB drafted in the first 3 rounds of the NFL draft will be gone by the 2nd round so I definitely see your point and wouldn't say someone should go in expecting to get him in the late 3rd. It's just where I'm comfortable taking him and have adjusted a couple mocks now to grab him when he's there.

I'd be wary of looking at this evidence...assuming it's game tape. Deboer had to cut his offense (reportedly in half) for Jalen to execute at the level he did.

IDK the NFL probably likes the added drama of the camera constantly going back to the green room to show some poor kid get passed on repeatedly and look increasingly dejected.
Anything to keep eyeballs.

Rams feel like a great spot to sit behind Stafford for a year or two, land with a good HC, and a solid set of weapons to work with.

Based on those passes he reminds me of Daniel Jones. Who struggled to make anticipatory throws.
Daniel Jones if he ran 4.4, and had a bigger arm would still be the Giants starter in my opinion.

Mobility and arm strength are not Jones' problems.
No, but if they were ELITE, it'd make up for more of the other stuff.

Footballguy
No, it definitely wouldn't. His physical traits are very good. His issues are mainly mental and until he gets past that, if he can, he won't be a good NFL QB.

Cant read a defense or make the right decisons. Who cares if he can throw it farther lol
Les Miles had a great quote on Ryan Perrilloux and I can't find it anywhere - basically said he'd rather have a mobile guy that can run around that doesn't know what he's doing than a pocket passer that doesn't know.
