I love that his primary deficiencies seem so coachable. His accuracy, timing, and form will be worked on meticulously over the next 12-24 months without any undue pressure.

The stuff he has in spades cannot be coached.

You have to take risks in this league if you want to bust out of the mediocrity bubble. We had 11 picks this year so now was the perfect time to take a shot on a young man with so much potential.

I’ll be over the moon if he works out eventually and not that disappointed if he doesn’t.

And I get that most players are media savvy to say the right things, etc...but he genuinely seems cognizant of his weaknesses and seems enthusiastic about working on them.

Not a conspiracy theorist but it was obvious that the majority of draft pundits had artificially buoyed S. Sanders' to keep him in that #2 QB spot.
Ward#1, Sanders#2 was parroted by most mocks for months before the draft.
It wasn't until right before the draft that Dart shot up to the number 2 QB changing the mock landscape for many.

It just seems like the 2025 draft had always been labeled a poor QB draft with the 26' draft always touted as laden with great QB's.
I'm just wondering how much Dart, Milroe & whoever were devalued in their placement in mocks to keep the Sanders hype machine elevated in their rightful spot?
It seemed Darts meteoric rise happened right after the negative Sanders murmurs after the combine/pro days. All the while, the Milroe narrative that he was a huge project, high risk, longshot QB prospect never really changed.
It's funny I always saw a lot more red flags in Sanders game than Milroe's.

It's going to be very interesting to follow who excells in this 25' QB class. I also can't wait to see where 2026 dual threat QB LaNorris Sellers is drafted and how his career ultimately compares with Milroe's.

A lot of keypunches to say I think Milroe is a far better prospect than Sanders and we likely got a steal in the 3rd because of that Sanders hype machine.
Milroe couldn't possibly be better than Sanders..., right?
