Pick 92: Jalen Milroe

[Maelstrom787]

The problem is that Jared Wilson was there for them to take but JS took Milroe instead.

I think JS may have jumped the shark here.

Suddenly the criticisms of the draft picks are fair when they potentially threaten Darnold down the line. Interesting.

Ya'll are nuts. this is an A+ draft. Great value risk at 92. Worst case is Taysom Hill. Best case is Lamar Jackson. I'll take that risk at 92 alll day. ******* love it

I sat here bitching our offense had no exciting players, no superstars.....
Well he's THAT guy. He'll be used situationally, being put into positions to make big plays. Lots of redzone stuff. And who knows, in 2-3 years maybe he figures out being a full-time passer.
Bottom line : he's got superstar potential without even being our QB1

Unless he's going to catch passes from Darnold, I'm not seeing him basically replace Sam when they reach the redzone.

Left coast Searavens. Milroe is the future until he is not.

Milroe needs work as a passer but the traits are off the chart for a 3rd rounder. He can develop into the best in this draft, or a wasted pick. People complain he never takes a shot and he did on probably the highest upside you’ll see in a while. He’s not coming in to start year one or two. The coaches feel they can work with him while still getting him on the field year one

At 92, this is a risk very much worth taking. This isn't the Bears taking Fields.

Maybe Milroe at the goalline, but not the red zone. You need to be able to make good decisions down there.

BTW, the Raiders just used another two picks on players to protect Geno.

I will admit I am experiencing some schadenfreude watching a usually rational individual melt the **** down

Milroe sucks. He was SOOOOOO bad last year.

Wasted pick. Absolute waste of a pick.

I will always give a laughing emoji at the shade thrown at the Bears.

It's interesting. I think he is used as a weapon next year. Taysum Hill type role who can throw a deep ball while he learns behind Darnold. A RB who can play QB. For the 3rd round it's fine whether he becomes a starting qb or not. Best case he develops behind the scenes as a passer and becomes QBOTF

 

[LeveeBreak]

Darnold getting shopped? </sarcasm>

This is a major risk/reward move. IF, really big IF, he's coachable and they can fix his decisioning & footwork, he becomes the scariest QB from the 2025 draft.

He'll have opportunities to showcase his incredible skills in various sets. Don't love/hate the pick yet. Need to see how he's used and can develop.

 

[James in PA]

stop bitching haters at least the preseason just got a lot more interesting.

"Usually rational"? You've gotta be thinking of someone else lol.

I'm sure I'll be fine later, just annoyed. I got subjected to so much Bama football this year, and he looked consistently awful.

I don't even see "upside". Sure, upside as an athlete; he has physical traits out the wazoo, but QBs need to be able to throw. He makes so many stupid decisions. You need a pretty ridiculous system around you to make it work with what he lacks, and I'm not convinced it's easily teachable.

Said this in the Draft thread and I'll say it here :



Nice "vote of confidence" for Sam Darnold, JS.


I guess Milroe is insurance in case Sam doesn't work out.

meh. whatever.

3rd round developmental QB is a "no confidence' message to Darnald? Play.

 

[FearTheHawk]

imagine Wildcat RPO sets with Darnold pitching to Milroe who throws to Arroyo deep

 

[Maelstrom787]

Ohhhh, I love it.

I’ll be honest I was hoping for the center but who the fek knows - maybe JS had visions of Matt Flynn and RW3 and went at it again
