Does anyone think he’s going to make it to the third round? We’re going to need a replacement for Taysom Hill and he would fit that role perfectly.

Someone will likely take him in the second and hope to mine a diamond in the rough. The potential is just too high.
We don’t need a Taysom replacement in theory as we have a completely new coaching staff and the Taysom role doesn’t exist on almost every team in the league.

Just take him and run RPO . They can do many things with him

Have you seen him block from backfield, block ends on d line, run routes, catch passes, block punts? I’d call Milroe Derrick Henry before taysom

I don't think much of Milroe as a QB right now, but if Moore wants him and they take him I will trust that Moore has a vision for him

I don’t either. I look at him as a young guy who has some insane physical traits including the ability to throw a football that a smart offensive coach could potentially mold. Would you rather the 26 year old Louisville guy who has never accomplished shite despite his age or 22 year old milroe that gives you multiple years to develop his seemingly exponentially higher ceiling.
To me Milroe’s potential lines up so much better with where we’re currently at as a roster.

If the Saints draft Milroe as their idea for the young QB of the future, I'll completely give up on this franchise.

Do I want a 3-4 year project at QB? Please tell me you have not thought this through.

Why? Milroe has the potential to be Hurts, who just dominated the NFL with the very coach that we have. If Milroe becomes an average passer, he is a league MVP. Hell, he may only have to throw the ball 10-15 times a game with the way he runs.

I bet he wont make it past 40. I just don’t think KM wants the 26 year old from Louisville. Trey Amos is who I want.

Hill is not a franchise QB though. He is a gimmicky player

You don't spend a 2nd or 3rd round pick on a gadget player when you have as many needs as the Saints do. We need to replace an aging pass rush and secondary and at some point have to draft an actual QB.

Jalen Milroe has the highest "athleticism" rank at this year's NFL Combine. You know who is number 2? Brady Cook.
Brady Cook is going to make an NFL team this year. He may not get drafted but my prediction is he will make an NFL team.

Because comparing Milroe as a thrower to Hurts is an insult to Hurts. We'll compare both of their final years in college.
Hurts threw for 1000 more yards, double the touchdowns with 3 less ints than Milroe.
Hurts was also a better rusher of the ball. He carried the ball 233 times for almost 1,300 yards and 20 TD's compared to Milroe who rushed 168 times for 726 yards and 20 TD's, effectively a yard per carry better. Most of Milroe's rushing stats came in one game against LSU as well while Hurts went over 100 yards 5 times.
If you take away both players best rushing game of the season the numbers look worse for Milroe. Adjusted for taking away Milroe's LSU game the numbers are...
Milroe 156 ATT/541 Yds/3.4 YPC/16 TD's
Hurts 217 ATT/1122 Yds/5.17 YPC/17 TD's
Jalen Milroe isn't in the same galaxy as Jalen Hurts and to claim otherwise is laughable.

Your hyperbole is boring. Seems like you don’t really think anything through.

Hurts was a much better passer in college than Milroe. Now Milroe could look terrible for two plays and then drop a 40 yard pass in a bucket but that was it. Milroe was almost benched a couple of times last year. Milroe wasn't an average passer in college I am not sure how gets there in the NFL but who knows.

Tough comparison with the coaching change at Bama for Milroe's last year. I agree that Hurts was a more polished passing QB, but they are comparable in many ways. If Moore can develop Milroe as a consistent passer, he could be a franchise QB. Not Mahommes, but the ceiling of Hurts is obviously working in the NFL right now. A good O-line and running game absolutely necessary for that build to work though.

Milroe has a huge upside. If the Saints select him, I'm not against it. If the pass on him, I'm not against it.

Hurts spent 1 year at Oklahoma so he had a new coach too.

No they're not. Milroe isn't nearly the passer Hurts is. It's not even close.

No he can't. Guys who can't throw in college don't suddenly get great in the league.

Absolutely correct, but that offense was stacked and had more consistency with players and coaching than Bama's this year.

Hurts was inconsistent as a passer in college and occasionally in the NFL, but I'm more comparing their physical measurables not their passing ability/polish.

Systems change and QBs develop. Hurts has definitely developed as a passer under Moore. Milroe makes some great throws. His arm and accuracy are very good at times, but his decision making and ability to throw receivers open are his weakness. I think that's where his inconsistency is and it can hopefully be improved if the Saints go that route.
I'm not a huge fan of Milroe because of everything you've pointed out, but also not opposed to drafting him if they don't need to reach for him.
