re: Sporting News early Mock has us taking Jalen Milroe at 9

Taysom Hill coming off injury and AK aging I just don't know.

if both of those guys at least serve hold with their age then hell yeah I'd be aboard, The RPO run game comes alive with good runners,

Milroe is powerful with his size but looked lost at times just running an offense in a leadership type year where he's been there and established.

Does this kid have a previous relationship with Loomis? If so, we are definitely taking him.

Hurts ran for 1300 and 20 too while leading the major pass cats

He didn’t lead in any pass cars while at bama. He pumped his stats in an overpowered OU offense in a very week big 12. Any qb would have seen major progress under those circumstances.

I love how you can boast about hurts running numbers but no one will give Milroe his due?

He was a solid passer with Saban. He regressed under a new system which is pretty understandable. I have zero idea if he can translate to the nfl but neither does anyone else on this board. Just funny how dismissive this board is towards him when the rest of the country thinks he is an elite talent.

Similar phenomenon with Carr and this board. The general consensus is that Carr is an old washed bum but this board will swear up and down that he’s actually really good and he’s just caught a million bad breaks

Are we trying to draft Taysom Hill’s replacement?

You could put Taysom in bama’s offense tomorrow and he wouldn’t sniff milroe’s numbers. He was never a real qb even in college

CLASSIC..........I CAN NOT WAIT...... YES..... THEY BELONG TOGETHER,,,,,

Like I've said in other draft threads, he's PERFECT next to Bresee and would basically be like 1.5 picks, b/c he should unlock Bresee's full potential.

3 picks

A solid Interior line would free up the MLB and Edge to cause absolute chaos

Look what Ngata did for the Ravens D back in the day. Caused a resurgence in Ray Lewis and bolstered the entire defense with him occupying pretty much the entire opponent IOL. Suddenly Lewis didn't have to be everything and could roam around and track plays.

In the 10 years Lewis was with the Ravens before Ngata, they went to the playoffs 3 times. In the 7 years from Ngata being drafted to Lewis' retirement, they made the playoffs 6 times.

I am sure everyone understands this, I am speaking to the people that don't appreciate the difference a DT can make on a team. They eat blocks to free up pass rushers, and prevent C's and G's from getting to the LBs on running plays.

And yes, I get that Ngata was an NT, which is why I use the value of a Graham with a Bresee.

Please god no

Hell no.
Then I would really know some moron is running the organization.

If the Walter Football mock happens I might cry. They show us passing on Mason Graham for DB Benjamin Morrison.

No way this happens. Loomis will trade up to pass on Graham and pick Morrison.

rest of the country thinks he is an elite talent.

A few (quite a few have dropped him) mock drafts and big boards months out from the draft don't equate rest of the country.

The reason people don't want him is because this will be a top 10 draft pick spent on a very raw player. Most of the time these raw QBs don't work out. I don't think too many would have a problem if they picked him in the 3rd round.
