His career ended like a wet fart here, so I can't say I hated to see him go, but hate that he's got the annual "jilted green room guy" written all over him.
I wish the very best for Milroe
Outside of the SECCG game where Hurts became a folk hero, the fanbase was done with him too, and I would like to see examples of people here thinking he was going to make it in the NFL. I was one of them who thought: "no way."
And yet here we are, with Hurts having a Super Bowl and MVP.
I think Milroe is better than some of the head scratching 1st round QB picks in the past few years. Or at least he as as much upside and potential. And he played in the best/toughest conference, and produced some BIG TIME WINS over several of our conference's best, including a win over defending national champions UGA to win the SEC. That's BIG TIME.
No I cannot ignore his low moments. But I can see him dazzling some NFL teams in workouts and interviews and being given a shot.

He'll get a shot. The most important thing for him is the situation he's drafted into. For him to have any shot at ever being a starter, he'll need to go somewhere that doesn't need him to play immediately. He has so many rough edges to work through that do not translate to the NFL that asking him to play soon would be a death penalty for his career.

Some teams get forced to hire diversity coaches. Example would be the patriots recently. Others are told to draft one “for the team.”

Milroe has consistently shown he has an overinflated opinion of his own abilities, and has refused to listen to anyone who has tried to speak truth to him about it. They are labeled as haters or “naysayers”. This is just more of the same.

Not saying it’s logical but he might go in the 1st round and man would that stir some shite.

He’s gonna end some front office careers.

Maybe on this board. In the real world it'll be par for the course. Every year some GM decides he's smarter than everyone else and overdrafts a project with great measurables thinking they can fix them. It's an NFL draft tradition.

I hope he has a fantastic NFL career… somewhere that’s not in Pittsburgh.
His athleticism alone will get him drafted in round 1 or 2. If Anthony Richardson can go in the first round, someone with his ability and actually won games in college will get a look.
Missing on picks isn’t as punishing as it used to be. Get late into the first round and I’m sure someone will take a chance.
Honestly the biggest problem I see with Milroe and the team that takes his is his development window. Were he is right now, he's not a day 1 starter and likely will need a couple years to get up NFL speed. By the time he's ready to play, he'll be on his way to his second contract. So you'll have a tiny window where he will play and be a value. You also have to have another QB on staff that's capable.

I hope for his sake he gets picked early, but my brain says there's no way NFL executives are that stupid.

Some potential NFC West QB intrigue: Alabama QB Jalen Milroe is in Seattle today to visit with the Seahawks and will meet later this week with the Rams, per sources.
I wish Milroe success and everything, but as a Niner fan, I would absolutely love for this to be true. Two guaranteed divisional wins every year.

Let’s be real.. as it stands now, he probably needs a couple of years just to get up to college P5 speed. Tennessee, OU and Michigan made him look like a freshman who had just been thrown into his first live fire game. He might need a decade to learn how to process the game at an NFL level.
I hope he proves me wrong, but I don’t think he will have much success as an NFL quarterback. He’s got a long way to go but maybe it will click for him.

Something everyone here ignores. These two games are a perfect example of how he's going to look in an NFL game. Explosiveness and sheer ability might get one wow factor play out of 20 in a game but it's not going to consistently move the chains.
Milroe reads defenses like a 95 lbs league QB which was blatantly on display in those two games. He's not reading defenses on the collegiate level yet so it's going to take a while in the NFL.

That’s an entirely fair read on it from Jeremiah.
He’s a Lamar Jackson level athlete with a HS level field awareness.
As a 3RD flier he’s a solid lottery ticket.
As a 1RD pick I’d be livid as a fan.

Literally every scout, talent evaluator and our two previous head coaches and their staffs were lured by Milroe's talent.
However the braintrust on this forum thinks he somehow masterminds a plot to force the GOAT of all coaches and his serial winner replacement to play him.
I just laugh
I guess Milroe has also threatened NFL Network and NFL scouting departments with a mutiny if they don't report positively about him and draft him highly.

I'm just happy he's moved on and I hope he has a great NFL career.
