This will be an unpopular opinion among Browns fans, but Jalen Milroe should absolutely be in consideration for Cleveland in the Draft.
After going back and reading, Milroe’s prospect analysis is almost a direct echo of Jalen Hurts in 2020.
- Elite athlete
- Can carve up defenses on the ground
- Great strength
- Strong arm
- Lethal when rolling out
- Great passer when footwork is correct
- Struggles playing in rhythm
- Needs to improve going through progressions
- Needs to play more consistent from the pocket
- Needs to work on weight balance and footwork to improve accuracy
All these notes can be found in both Milroe’s and Hurts’ prospect profiles.
Hurts was widely regarded as a developmental quarterback projected to go anywhere between the 2nd and 5th rounds.
What helped Hurts become the player he is today? Focus, internal drive and dedication to improvement and success. Strong leadership capabilities, accountability and work ethic. Ability to be coached and improve his technique.
All of those are also true for Jalen Milroe.
I know a lot of people are completely out on the Alabama quarterback—I was too. But after diving deeper into Milroe, I’m actually liking what I’m seeing.
More to come on this.
@Brookksee That means a lot! Thank you. We set out 5 years ago to create content for Browns fans by Browns fans, and I’m glad that goal is felt among the Dawgs Pound 💪
@FFSnoog I think that’s pretty fair. He has the traits to be a good QB in the NFL, but I don’t see anything that will be him a top-tier QB. Which is fine, not every guy can be top-tier.
@Brookksee Exactly. I like to go watch the full games, gives better understanding of the situations in the game. You don’t get that with highlight reels.
Breaking down Shedeur Sanders film now after doing Cam Ward.
Takeaways?
Ward is the clear QB1 in this class AND worthy of the top pick, in my opinion.
If someone drafts Travis Hunter and doesn’t use him primarily at WR, they’re sacrificing an elite game-changer on offense.
@elonmusk I think one thing many people fail to realize is that government shut downs don’t matter. Shut down, don’t shut down. Who cares? The government doesn’t actually do anything except steal our money.
It's fitting the Browns would bench Jameis Winston to start Dorian Thompson-Robinson against the Bengals...
Considering it was the first game against the Bengals when the Browns benched DTR for Jameis Winston.
Sunday is going to be one of the most unwatchable games ever.
