Just reading some takes on the QBs in the NFL draft and this one on Milroe is spot on. And

you can see why NFL execs would want to take a chance fully knowing that it could be a wasted pick.

The way quarterbacks raise their floor is by getting the ball out quickly and on time when executing the short game. And Milroe struggled with that a year ago in Tuscaloosa. His success rate on passes under 10 yards was just 83.76%, the lowest I’ve charted in this year’s draft class.

Milroe has to speed up his process to simply get the ball out and make his job easier at times. This largely stems from becoming more comfortable with what he is seeing pre-snap and being able to anticipate rotations that will be thrown at him after the ball is snapped.

But

Milroe has an identical success rate to Sanders (who has been charted as the most accurate quarterback in the class) when throwing the football over 20 yards in depth. Creating a big play is not out of the depths of Milroe with a success rate sitting at 60% throwing the ball deep down the field.

He sits with a success rate of 59% on go balls, 71% on posts, 66% on digs, 70% on out routes, and 66% on comeback attempts. For as ineffective as Milroe is at getting the ball out on time in the short game, he will make you pay down the field if given the time and opportunity to do so.

Just so you understand, even though his success rate is higher on the shorter routes, those are the easy ones that even most second string QBs in the NFL can deliver on. The percentages on these longer routes, while lower, are great because they are harder to have success on.

I would bet that he fails as Kurt Warner has said for years now that you have to be able to do the easy stuff and take what the defense gives to be successful in the NFL because that's all they will give until you prove your consistent enough to do it.

But I don't know if I've ever seen a QB so good at making difficult throws and so bad at easy ones.
