BREAKING Milroe declares for draft

To have a professional draft evaluator put Milroe above Beck is...mind-blowing.

Any GM who drafts him in the 1st 2 rounds should be fired on the spot.

Even 3rd round and below is wasting a selection because you’re going to have to experiment with a position change.

He should be an UDFA but somebody is going to take a flyer.

“I can fix him…”

I'm not saying Beck is a "can't miss prospect'. I'm saying we know for a fact Jalen Milroe cannot read defenses and doesn't feel pressure. He's going to get killed in the NFL. Beck has shown he can be an elite passer. I agree he didn't have a stellar year, but I think that's more because UGA's schedule was much harder, and it's clear there were other distractions off the field for him.

i think it's because uga sucked this year. but i admit that i am biased.

i can imagine the thought of racing that lambo through athens over 100mph probably caused a few distractions

Yeah I think Beck is a better QB but I don’t see him being successful in the NFL, at least not if his current level of play continues. The windows are so much tighter in the NFL, even highly successful college QBs like Mac struggle in the NFL.

Only reason I guess I hope he goes high in the draft is that it probably helps us in recruiting being able to tout a continuing string of highly drafted QBs.

Other than that, I couldn't care less how his professional career goes.

He's probably made more money in the last 2 years than I've made in the last 20.

I think milroe would be a better Taysom Hill than Taysom is, especially since his throwing skill is with the long ball and he's a better runner. If the falcons didn't need so much defense it would be tempting.

unless the NFL thinks Milroe problems = coaching, maybe there's a reason we never saw QB #2 when we were on the skids

We went decades without seeing an Alabama QB playing in the NFL before a recent string of QBs. I don't think they will fall for the hype if they look at the tapes, unless there's a lot more going on in the background than any of us know about.

I believe Mike Shula had the single season record for touchdown passes (17?) until the 2000's or something absurd like that.

A bunch of the QB's under Saban prior to Milroe would pass for that many touchdowns in 5 games.
 
The evaluations I've seen on Milro suggest he's a project, not a day one starter. Normally the top of the 1st round is for day 1 starters. I could see him going anywhere below the middle of the 1st round. It depends on if you believe your eyes or if you believe he's had bad coaching. I'm sure Milro can be a better QB than he is, but from what I can tell in the NFL they don't develop players. They play them and toss them if they aren't getting it done.

Don’t think I’ve seen anything positive on Senior Bowl stuff. Hard to blame coaching at all if you can’t hit a guy on air or one on one. But NFL GMs and people are proven stupid in drafting especially qbs. He should go 3rd round or later but like others have said it’s not a good qb draft which should mean qbs get taken later but again stupidity takes over and they still draft qbs early.
