The big key, will be how it will play in the playoffs and next season. Will Milroe be happy in his new role as mobile QB, or will he revert to his insistence he is a pocket passer? Somebody has gotten in his head and convinced him that he needs to package himself as a pocket passer to catch the eye of the NFL. With next year (likely) being his last year he might be more insistent on staying in the pocket. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
That would be a weird take, considering he's already moving up in the same mold as Jalen Hurts (cannon for an arm, legs that will punish teams that fail to contain). I get the need to showcase the passing ability, but one would think he's shown enough of an arm that teams would at least be willing to acknowledge he's got the tools that cannot be "taught" - athletic ability - and then can learn more as he comes up, so maybe a 3rd or 4th round pick.
He'd have to come back and do amazing next year to really be viewed as a first round draft choice.

Did not mean to insinuate that I agreed with the assessment. I think he could be very effective as a running QB. I could only come up with one reason for his insistence that he is a pocket passer. The offenses really opens up and becomes dangerous when he runs.
