Thought over the mid week and holiday, with big college bowls going on people might want to talk some potential draft prospects. Instead of the same old back and forth stuff.

Watched the Michigan- Bama game. I had Milroe as a 2/3 round project. But good lord was he bad. Amazing athlete, very poor QB at this time. Really could use more time in college, but at the same time I could see Bama moving on to a different QB. College is now a semi pro league teams won't really spend time developing Milroe and if he transfers to a smaller school, I feel he would just use his nature physical advantages and not progress as a passer.

Maybe a guy that if he was their with say one of our 3rd comp picks I would think about. He needs time to sit and be coached up massively. But you could still absolutely design some short yard packages with him at QB while trying to develop. Bit a of an interesting prospect. Such an athletic freak, that may be possible if failed at QB to make a position switch.

Say we stay with Tua maybe draft Milroe and sign vet and carry 3 QBs. Love to use Milore in short yard packages and develop.
 
Watching some the Illinois/South Carolina.
Crazy how many massive or physical freaks are now starting to play QB, but real need to actually learn how to play QB. Sellers ii massive and a huge arm. Needs to learn a lot but at least he is only a RS FR.

Way to much risk in the first. He is far behind Lamar as a passer in college. Lamar is also more of an electric runner as well.

Milroe is more like Fields coming out of college but even below as a passer. That doesn't mean he will develop or not develop the same as Fields. To me Milroe needs 2 years of solid coaching before throwing him into a #1 role. But say if we role with Tua, you can absolutely use Milroe is short yard packages and still good enough passer that if you overcommit to run will hurt you deep.
 
I think that we might just have something with Huntley. Yes, I'd like to draft a QB this year, but Huntley is only 26 and as a running QB, he's the kind of guy who can come in a get the occasional win as our opponents will NEVER gameplan for a running QB as long as we have Tua.

Is said it after we got him, that we should get a short yardage package for him. Even if just for tush push/QB sneak, even when you know it is coming it is hard to stop for a less then yard play.
 
After the top 2 QB's, Sanders and Ward, the next best QB might be Ewers. I want to see how he performs for the remainder of the CFP.

I wouldn't use a first on him but if he is there in round 2 I might consider it.

If we can't draft him then Gabriel or McCord in the 4th.

I’d be fine signing a legit backup and drafting Gabriel after the 3rd round.
