Pick 92: Jalen Milroe

[Sperrydogg]

Milroe will be QB1 by ‘27. All-Pro projection.

I absolutely love this pick…I love that he has time to develop and isn’t getting thrown to the wolves like AR (in Indy with a poor O-line).

Milroe is very intelligent. Well spoken. A natural born leader with an incredible upbringing. We all know where his athleticism ranks.

I absolutely love this draft class. I see us getting some great picks once we end up trading away some veterans as some of these rookies ARE going to take their spots. I don’t mean for that to sound negative…we’re in a great position and the future is secured.

I’ve never been this excited after a draft. I’ve haven’t been ‘content’ with our coaching staff since we won the big one.

MM is incredible. Kubiak is going to have this offense rolling.

I didn’t think JS was going to take a QB..I really didn’t. I love that he grabbed the best on the board (imo).

LFG!!!

I think milroe is starting off humbly too and he will become inspiring through his growth into the leader

Darnold (year 7, first with Vikings) was pretty good in the RZ in ‘24

62 for 88 (70.5%), 395 Yards (4.5 yards/att) 26 TDs to 4 Ints

Compared to Geno (year 12, fifth with Seahawks):

27 for 56 (48.2%), 211 Yards (2.8 Y/A), 10 TDs to 5 Ints.

And I want you stress what is in parenthesis next to the names because Geno had 2-5 off-seasons/training camps/games of building chemistry and familiarity with most of his skills players.

Don’t know if it’s something in his film while he had better stats 18 TDs, 0 Ints in ‘22; 15 to 2 in ‘23 his accuracy nosedives within the RZ (53.9 in ‘22, 43.1 in ‘23, and the 48.2 last season). Not to say it isn’t to be expected but Smith has been one of the most accurate QBs in the league overall and I’m sure his accuracy numbers outside of the RZ are in the 70-80%. Just kind of weird that he becomes a different QB in the RZ, you’d almost wished he had turned up his athleticism and run with more authority to negate some of those flaws whether it’s reading defenses or executing on script.

It’s all in Geno’s head. He could be great if he would just say screw it I’m all in and I’m gonna fight you. But he doesn’t he takes excuses and thinks living to fight another day applies to football.
