NFL Draft Jalen Milroe? Any thoughts? (6 Viewers)

[bobad]

I haven’t seen one comment from him during his years at Alabama that would suggest he would consider such a role.

That could mean he will sit the bench inactive, maybe for 2-3 years until he learns to read defenses. That's fine with me, as long as it's not on this team.

At Syracuse, they literally let Mccord off the leash & he unlocked his big play ability in a major way.

They did? Literally?
Damn.

If I was Milroe, I'd have stayed in college another year ala Hurts. Lots of similarities in their profiles. I think Hurts did himself a favor transferring to Oklahoma. Not sure if Alabama had already made plans other than him, but I can't imagine him having a hard time finding a landing spot with a good situation.

Or maybe he's doing the right thing? I believe Hurts went in the 2nd round and that's about where Milroe is expected to go. Sure feels like there'll be some growing pains for whoever drafts him, but his wheels alone can change games. So at least there's that as a starting point.

The light hasn't clicked on yet. Has all the skills and tools. Plus, he's really good guy. Ideally, if he could sit with a good staff for two years, I think he could be something special. Who here thought Hurts would be where he is? He was Milroe before transferring to Oklahoma and playing in a passing offense in a conference where they played no defense. Honed his skills and gained confidence.

It's possible I guess.... wouldn't agree with it

Would be a nice development WR in the mid to late rounds. Not a QB

Heard that about Lamar Jackson lol

 

[BreesHOF2024]

Milroe’s team was not as talented as Hurts’ was. Any Bama fan would tell you that. Btw, was the GOAT the coach for Bama last year? No he wasn’t

Probably not but they're too talented to be tied with Missouri in SEC standings. Milroe isn't Hurts as much as DeBoer isn't Saban

I’ve heard of and seen Lamar Jackson in college. Milroe is NOT Lamar Jackson.

If KM likes him, then oh well.

Didn’t say that Milroe was Hurts. Milroe is Milroe. Just saying that Hurts’ team was so good, that he didn’t even have to be a QB in order to win games, and in time, he became a Super Bowl winning QB, who can actually throw the ball now. With the transfer portal in full effect, the SEC is more of a gauntlet than it was before. Not sure how you don’t see that? It’s not a case of Bama gobbling up all of the 5 star talent on a yearly basis, like before. Losing games is going to be thing in the SEC going forward. There will be no one true powerhouse. Besides, Missouri played well last year. Plus, if we want to get technical, Missouri played 1 ranked team, which was against Bama and lost 34-0

I think Milroe is closer to Anthony Richardson who should have been a later pick. Both, much more raw than Lamar Jackson.

 

[sam d]

Please please NO! Not any draft pick should be used on this guy! Someone will make the huge mistake in drafting this guy but he will never be a qb. Perhaps he could turn into a multi role playing athlete similar to Taysom one day but he has not expressed any desire to give up on qb dreams. I would only give him a chance if he went undrafted but I think someone will foolishly want him.

True I can see that but sometimes it’s a situational thing (organization coaching )
Belief in a player with putting them in a position to succeed

Olave and shaheed could be like Tory holt and Isaac Bruce
But the offense gotta predicate that
He could be like Vick you really never know if it’s a 3rd rd pick I’d do it

 

[syeager]

A lot of talk lately about Jaxson Dart but I wanted to get a feel for the boards opinion on Jalen Milroe from Alabama in terms of being picked at say 40(ADP on nfldraftbuzz is around 47) so he’d be right in that range. He could possibly drop to 71 but that might be a bit risky.

The more I read about him and more I watch I am admittedly more intrigued and curious about him.

Draft scouting report is(per nfldraftbuzz):





Do you guys think Moore would take a chance on him due to his physical attributes and fit in system?


He throws a beauty of a deep ball and we have guys who can take advantage already.

Highlights

I don't know but can he bring Ryan Williams with him. It was almost a Williams highlight video.
