Re: Turning Attention to the Draft

Jalen Milroe - QB
Alabama

Overview
Milroe is an explosive athlete who is very capable outside the pocket, but he lacks accuracy, touch and decision-making when he’s inside the pocket. A lack of anticipation and timing leads to interceptions and contested throws to intermediate areas of the field.


Strengths
- Unflinching when he delivers throws in the face of imminent contact.
- Has NFL arm strength, delivering drive throws with velocity.
- Ball comes out in a split second if he needs it to.
- Accuracy improves when he minds his weight transfer.
- 2023 tape shows a more consistent deep-ball passer.

Weaknesses
- Threw five touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2024 SEC play.
- Hurried and lacking rhythm when working from the pocket.
- Processing and decision-making are troubling at times.

NFL comparison - Kordell Stewart & Taysom Hill

Late round 2, round 3 grades

I’m hoping we pass on a qb unless dart falls to round 2
