Pick 92: Jalen Milroe

[Rat]

Shedeur wouldn’t have given them the time to tell him that. He was probably the player who didn’t even know who JS was.

I don't believe we had a top 30 visit with him.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Nor should we have.

 

[glenwo2]

I'm glad we didn't.

If we had drafted Shadeur, you guys would be raving about how great it was and claiming to not understand how anyone could think otherwise.

Shedeur thinks he's already arrived. "I'm LeGenDary"

Remind me of someone else: I'm Unlimittttted

Whereas Milroe is self-aware and knows he has a lot to work on.

I wouldn't have liked the Shedeur pick even though he's "more NFL ready"

Wrong. Would have been pissed.

 

[Seahawker]

Wrong. Would have been pissed.

Like zero OL drafted pissed.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm happy with Milroe. More happy with didn't sign that headache.

LOl..uhm..no. Wanted nothing to do with that circus. Doesn't mean I'll be right. Maybe he will make Cleveland great again!

STOP.

Hear Brock Huard saying he could probably add 20 pounds. He is already ripped and huge. 20 pounds on him would be dumb.

Guessing the 'body image' man Brock Huard hasn't seen him shirtless. (or Maura Dooley for that matter)

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'd rather have Milroe than Sanders. I said what I said.

I'd rather have Milroe than Sanders. I said what I said.

Although I raised my eyebrow at the pick, in a way, I was relieved, cause it was assurance that they weren't going to take Sanders. I don't think there was much of a chance of them doing that, but I just remember listening to draft coverage on SiriusXM, and when they traded up for Emmanwori, the guys were speculating that it could be Sanders. Them taking Milroe instead shot that down.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep. I can totally see both sides of it. Concerns or excitement. On 710 ESPN yesterday, they talked about how they could flip him for a draft pick later IF he doesn't work out and/or if Darnold balls out. I just don't think leaving that talent on the bench would be smart. He's a beast in the open field. And ridiculous fast.

 

[IndyHawk]

Shadeur is accurate, but when you dig into the numbers a little bit, over 70 percent of his passes were at or behind the LOS. His arm strength while NFL quality isn't great. He often adlibbed at the LOS and ignored game plans. He also had a offense crafted specifically around his strengths as a player which most NCAA QB's don't get.

Going further down the line he has happy feet and looks to bail from the pocket too soon -- not a good sign if you're not a QB that can get away with it like Russell Wilson. He tended to hold onto the ball for too long and he would only throw the ball if the receivers were wide open, he had no anticipation.

Sounds just like Me3 - but with a weak arm and no running ability.
We dodged a bullet for sure!

I'm a big Pistons fan, and watching Me3 by the Knicks bench (he likes himself some attention) giving out high-fives, really made me appreciate how enjoyable it is to root against him.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

And how enjoyable it is that people are still obsessed with him almost 4 years later. The gift that keeps on giving

Just prior to pick 92 I had convinced myself it would be another year with no QB picks on our end. So I was surprised when I heard our pick come in. But it did not surprise me regarding who our QB pick was. I paid attention to what was out there about his Seattle visit and got busy looking into his history. I fully expect his best history has yet to be written.
I think the Giants made it clear what their thoughts were, despite reports about their staff being 50/50.
