Jalen Milroe

ANALYSIS
This is one of the most intriguing picks of Day 2, if not the entire draft thus far. Milroe is an extremely polarizing prospect. His proponents point to his undeniable tools; Milroe is well-built with a cannon arm and 4.4 speed. His detractors point to erratic accuracy and an inability to put touch on short and intermediate passes. Milroe started for two years at Alabama, completing 65 percent of his passes at 9.4 YPA with 39 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He also ran for 1,257 yards and 32 touchdowns in those seasons. His 'wow' plays are up there with any quarterback in the class. There are moments in which he looks unstoppable, either with the deep ball or as a runner. There are also several concerning starts on his resume, such as the 2024 Oklahoma game, which explain why he was available at this stage. With Sam Darnold under a lucrative contract, the Seahawks can be patient with Milroe's development and see if they can turn him into a future starter.

ANALYSIS
The list of QBs that the Alabama product has passed in the eyes of those talent evaluators includes Lamar Jackson, who holds multiple NFL records for his rushing prowess. While Miami's Cam Ward seems locked into the first overall pick to the Titans, when the rest of this year's quarterback class will be selected remains one of the big mysteries of the 2025 Draft. If Milroe's running is being judged at that level, he could be one of the QBs who hears their name called earlier than expected, with many mock drafts placing him in the second round.
