- Physical freak with prototypical size
- Cannon of an arm
- Great release
- Leads receivers downfield with great velocity
- Good feeling for pressure
- Ability to throw on the run or keep the ball himself

THE BAD
- Turns 24 before the season, still relatively inexperienced
- Played in a quick, one-read offense
- Waits for receivers to get open, occasionally stares them down
- Lack of reading defenses after the snap
- Often decides on his target pre-snap
- Tendency to overthrow his receivers downfield
- Accuracy underneath is an issue

Status: online 		Current Draft Projection and Summary

Milton grades out as a late-round or potential PFA prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft. He has one of the biggest arms in the class, and that alone will generate interest for him. But in Milton’s profile, there’s also plenty of uncertainty regarding how he’ll translate in the NFL.

Physical tools serve as the main selling point for Milton. At around 6’5″, 235 pounds, he’s an exceptional linear athlete with great burst and speed in open space, and he’s also a rocket-armed signal-caller who can drive elite velocity to all ranges with effortless ease.

Milton’s physical gifts also trickle into other parts of the passing game. His arm strength lends him impressive deep passing ability, and his velocity allows him to drive the ball where only his WR can reach. He’s also tough and poised in the pocket.

All this being said, Milton’s near-complete lack of autonomous processing and anticipation as a field general causes concern for his NFL transition. At Tennessee, Milton was almost entirely reliant on one-read throws, with very few pure drop-backs and progressions baked in.

Even on one-read throws, Milton experienced startling delays between recognition and trigger at times, and his inability to adapt off of schemed targets also created turnover opportunities for opposing defenses.

As a late-round developmental QB option, Milton’s physical talent does produce intrigue — but as a 24-year-old rookie, he’s shown very little as a processor and independent decision-maker. In the NFL, QBs need to be adaptable, and Milton’s tape at Tennessee was the antithesis of that.

Ultimately, with his size and athleticism, a move to tight end could be feasible in the future. But it’s hard to imagine Milton won’t at least get a look as a developmental QB3 first, with the arm strength he possesses.

Should the Bears or Cardinals have an interest in Justin Jefferson, do you deal him for one of their top picks?


For the first pick? Yes. It's a risk obviously but a great QB is worth more than a great wide receiver. Big downside is trading him to the Bears. That could really bite us in the ass for years to come!

You don't trade JJ. but if you do, you don't give him to a division rival.

Why? That's an old philosophy, but nobody has ever been able to tell me why it has any merit.

If you believe in the philosophy that diva wide receivers don't win titles, what would it matter who you dealt him to?


Plus, if the traded their No. 1 pick it most likely means that they keep Fields. If JJ doesn't like how that turns out, it's unlikely he signs a new contract with the Bears.

Rattler looks like a young Russ Wilson to me.

I just read that we used DTs less than anyone else in the league. As part of Flores' wacky adjustments.

It was just an opinion piece but I would be severely disappointed if the best player on the board was a DT and/or we decided to go that way.

I would be thrilled with Chop and Sainristil.

TE, RB before C ... much less.

Sigh..

I’m sure KGD and queasy would be the ideal draft board/draft day combo to bring this franchise out of mediocrity….


Trade back…
.. “ yea there is this really talented player.. but if we trade back we can let him go to someone else, but we get an additional third round pick of some other POS player”…

We have about 3-4 weeks and all this will change with FA and new league starting. So many different scenarios it seems compared to other years.

We probably used DTs less because ours sucked so bad that Flores had to mad genius a defense around that black hole.

We're not going to pick a DT at 11, but we need one or maybe 2 and Newton would be a ridiculously good value at 27.
I'm not going to pass on much better players to draft a C. Putnam at 178 was about as good as any C available at 108. If Bell and Bailey are contributors and we get them at picks 108 and 129 they were steals. Hockenson might not be available for a long time. Chandler and Mattison do not impress.

Yep. My point is that McCarthy is nothing special and no way I would draft him at 11.

Add Joel Klatt to those who prefer Penix to McCarthy.

Those are nice endorsements for Penix.

Phillips was okay but not worse than the DEs Lowry and Bullard?

None are world beaters for sure. Please ... upgrade all three.

Not sure how but start with the vacuum if you can, and then strengthen the weak links.

You're wrong. I have no favorites and nobody blacklisted. I just shared how 2 very respected analysts liked Penix more than McCarthy. I wouldn't be excited for Penix in the 2nd. I didn't scour the internet looking for people who didn't like McCarthy. I just stumbled upon those 2 without trying. If we can get McCarthy late first early second I would have no complaints.

If he is there at #11, the Vikings should pounce. He won't be on the board if they trade back.

The mocks having McCarthy go earlier are sheep mentality. Somebody hears somebody bleating McCarthy they fall in line Baaaa... Baaa.... If we don't get him. No big loss. I'd rather get the great pass rushers available at 11. I could be wrong. He might be worth pick 11. I think he isn't.

Yes, we get it. The two guys who agree with are NFL gurus. Anyone who likes McCarthy is a sheep. Sites like CBS, the Athletic and SI are moving McCarthy up because they have found the actual NFL teams are higher on McCarthy than the draft gurus with websites.

I see a guy who would go higher if he wasn't constrained by one of the few offenses more run heavy than the Gophers. I'll be very happy if the Vikings can get him at 12.
