No.

Skimming through a Pro Football Network seven round mock today (here), they lead off with Barron at 21. Okay.

Then they have the Steelers trading their 2025 3rd and 4th, and their 2026 2nd and 3rd to move up to 44 and select Jalen Milroe.

No.

The only upside is the caveat they include that if Rodgers is signed they likely don't make this move. Fine, PFN. You officially have my vote for signing Aaron Rodgers. FINE.

 

Yeah sign Rodgers, Flacco, Wilson anybody just so we don't end up with Milroe.

 

It's not that I mind Milroe, at the right price. But at that proposal? No way.

 

You take Milroe in round 3 if you LOVE him. He's probably a day 3 talent otherwise. He will likely get overdrafted due to his athletic ability, but he's a 5th-6th round guy that is going 2nd or 3rd. Much like Malik Willis who I had as an UDFA that would get picked in the 3rd or 4th.

 

I would take the bridge again if this happens, The Steelers Brass better be shopping players to recoup the 2nd rd draft choice back. Minka, GP will work.

 

So, a 2nd, two 3rd's, and a 4th for Milroe? Yeeaaahh, I'm cool.

 

Even the scouts that like Milroe best say he is a 2-3 year project. A lot like Willis by most scouting sites.

 

Is Milroe a rich man's Trey Lance?
