The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Jalen Milroe, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Jalen Milroe’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Milroe is the typical high-ceiling, low-floor prospect. His incredible arm strength and elite athleticism make it seem like he is guaranteed to eventually become a high-level NFL starter; however, when you take the negatives into account, it doesn’t seem so certain.
In recent years, many quarterbacks similar to Milroe have been taken with Day 1 or Day 2 picks. These guys have the tools you want but aren’t accurate and don’t process well. Guys like Will Levis, Zach Wilson, or Justin Fields all had that elite arm and athleticism but weren’t consistent enough passers or good enough processors to have their game translate to the NFL.
Due to recent history, I think that NFL GMs will be afraid of taking Milroe too early and instead will wait until late on Day 2 or early on Day 3 to take a flyer on the young quarterback.
Jalen Milroe’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Milroe landed in Round 1. James Fragoza has this to say:
The Steelers are set to roll out Mason Rudolph as their starter in 2025. Yikes. Even if they manage to land Aaron Rodgers, he’s hardly the long-term solution for Pittsburgh.
Jalen Milroe might not be flawless—he struggles with anticipation, reading defenses, and accuracy—but his rushing ability and cannon for an arm make him a risk that’s worth taking.
Other recent mock drafts have Milroe as a Day 2 prospect, landing equally in both the second and third rounds.
