Mel Kiper's QB3: Quinn Ewers, Jalen Milroe or Jaxson Dart? | First Draft 🏈

[@R.G-0.5]

In my opinion, there’s a lot of developmental QBs in this draft: A majority of guys who need time to sit and learn, be backups, but can develop into serviceable guys.

[@marlymarlle]

Theres no such thing as a developmental QB. Either hes the Franchise guy or he isnt. 🤷

You’re absolutely right, but teams will draft these kids and throw them in the fire.

Milroe was 1 for 3 for 8 yards a ball throw to the dirt and a sack in the senior bowl.

[@colten53]

No lie, he looked like the worst quarterback at the Senior Bowl. Even the Canadian kid played better.

[@BasicName02]

The actual Senior bowl game is a terrible evaluation tool. Most scouts understand this. The defense has a major advantage because the offense doesn’t have time to prepare with what you actually need to run a high level NFL offense. They mostly want to see how the kid is in person at those practices.

There is no "homerun QB" This year. Id bet Ewers goes ahead of Milroe... He'll impress at pro day. Spins it naturally... will need a year or two to sit though. Rams would be a great spot behind Stafford.

[@atalk143]

I completely agree with your Ewers/Rams take. Sit and learn behind Stafford for a few years (similar pocket passer style). Plus, McVay knows a thing or two about developing QBs and taking advantage of what they do well.

[@adamc-sv2tp]

Yeah that would be a really good spot. I think Ewers will be better in the nfl than he was in college but I’m still not sure he’s a long term “franchise” starter.

[@atalk143]

As a Texas fan who watched all of their games, I agree 100% with Mel's take on Ewers. More often than you would like, Ewers takes a half second too long to process how the play was developing....only to then throw a low-speed ball. He is so talented but he does not seem to trust his ability. He's lofting when he should be throwing lasers.

[@BasicName02]

He’s also useless as soon as the pocket breaks down. -a fellow UT fan

[@binsteez8881]

ya i think they look at them like they had the most talet surrounding them so the draft analysis would be they need a good situation to be a good qb.

[@MavenFade]

Jalen Milroe's perfect landing spot is either the Eagles or Ravens, go sit behind a running QB who is established and learn to improve your throwing, and the potential to play is much higher (especially with Hurts) due to running QBs taking more punishment.

[@michaelmunro8147]

A different analyst stated that the thing Milroe has against him is that he doesn't have large hands.

[@vitigaymer1053]

Hands and poor processing

[@wesleyglenn5787]

Thats the only thing against him? Hmmmm....I doubt anyone in the NFL thinks thats the ONLY thing against him.

[@Rodsu]

I think Ewers might not have the heart to be a team elevator. Might just be average game manager at best. It will depend on the team that drafts him and the system/coach.

[@Dulles-c2l]

Milroy will go in the 5th

[@travisnelms6120]

If milroe goes furst round itd an insult to all qbs who have went first round and also all qbs that were way more talented who slipped past that in nfl history. He is aeful, no other way to put it

[@TheJ02gt]

Quinn will be a 1st round

[@C.frmMia]

I saw Vinson getting beat during the game and causing the Qb (Dart) to get beat up too.. but can see your point in how he can be developed to become a solid reliable backup or starter

[@junehanzawa5165]

QB3 is Dillon Gabriel. Not saying he'll be drafted 3rd ahead of others, because he's not due to his size, just that at the end of the day as their NFL careers proceed, he'll be the 3rd best QB from this draft. Maybe even the 2nd best. I said the same thing about Russell Wilson (a selection which Kiper called a wasted pick due to his size) in that draft. He wasn't the 3rd QB taken, he was the 6th. But at the end of the day, he became the 2nd best QB in that draft, and the only one to win a Superbowl. These same 2 clowns had Carson Beck and Jalen Milroe as QB1 and QB2 with Shedeur Sanders QB3 and Quinn Ewers QB4 when they did their first mock at the start of the season. Meanwhile if you look at my comment from that video, I had Cam Ward as QB1 and Shedeur as QB2. And at which order are they now?

[@davidmurray6949]

I like Mel’s board . Will Howard if & I do mean “if” he goes to a team with weapons he will surprise everyone! Dart to the Rams wouldn’t surprise me 🤷🏿‍♂️ or Pittsburgh. Cam is the best Quarterback in the draft. Deion’s son is a question mark for me. Possibly a Derek Carr or Jeff Goff ceiling.

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

Dart had bad OL play and still made plays. Will Howard is Big Ben 2025. Milroe may have small hands but sit him 2yr he's Jordan Love. I would say these kids are worrh trading into the late 1st if you need a QB. Find the 1 who fits your system.

Keeping it 100, I don’t like any of these quarterbacks. I don’t see any of them as long term nfl starters. Doesn’t mean one of them can’t land in the perfect spot and do well, that could definitely happen. Ward is the only guy I have with a 1st round grade and even then it’s back of the first round. If i have the first pick I am certainly not passing on hunter for one of these QBs.

One of these non Ward/Sanders QB’s is going to have a big pro day and trick some team to pick them in the top 10 aren’t they? The fact Ward and Sanders seem likely to both be top 3 shows how overvalued QB’s have become in the draft. Teams just get stupid about QB’s when draft time comes.

[@adamc-sv2tp]

Sanders going in the top 10 is nearly a crime. I can almost guarantee he’s gonna bust out. If a team takes either guy over Hunter the gm should be fired.

Tyler Shough is a much better prospect than Ewers

[@kalebjonah5]

[@TonydaGM]

QB 3 should be a 5th rd pick because QB 1 and 2 are no better than 4 th rd picks. Tyler Shough IS the best QB in this draft he is 25 with numerous injuries. You cant waste a top pick on a QB when 26 might break the record for most 1stcrd QB's. Green Arkansas is 5000×'s better than any QB in the 25 draft.
