With stock of players going up and down, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe leaves the Senior Bowl with a neutral effect on his draft stock.
The Senior Bowl went off last week with plenty of fanfare for players who had their NFL draft stock rise while others saw their stock dip. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe fell into neither category as his performance in drills and in the Senior Bowl didn’t move the needle in either direction.
It is evident at this point that Jalen Milroe will come to an NFL team as expected. He is mobile and offers escapability in the pocket that is enviable in fantasy football circles while needing development as a passer. Milroe had 16 touchdown passes to 11 interceptions while rushing for 726 yards and 20 rushing touchdowns in 2024.
Jalen Milroe is not in consideration for first round draft capital. On the Pro Football Focus Big Board 2025, Milroe is ranked 96th which has him hovering between late round 3 and early round 4 draft capital. While the hope for Milroe is for him to be a starter, he would benefit from some time developing and getting acclimated to an NFL offense. Declaring as a junior, it does seem odd that Milroe didn’t go back for one more season; leading to believe he has received enough word from his agent and NFL teams that there is genuine interest in his talents.
