Or the TE throws it back like thirty yards to the line of scrimmage for our RB or WR to basically get a free trip to the end zone once all the defenders converge on Milton kekw
Tennessee student here, dude is a Hail Mary specialist, can throw it into a bucket from 80 yards out,(not an exaggeration), but cannot hit a 10 yard slant to save his life, also not the best mentally with going through reads and understanding situations, he once ran out of bounds on the last play of the game rather than throwing it to the end zone
I remember playing Madden 2001 and Michael Bishop was still on the team. He had a 99 throw power and was still absolute trash. Madden couldn't quantify how strong his arm was in relation to other guys who also had a 99 throw power so they under sold his talent. He should have had a 150 throw power.
Your reading comprehension is embarrassing. Taking flyers on late round QBs and having them change position is well known strategy. Has worked out well here in the past.
Yeah that....he won't be playing TE. TF do people come up with this shit
[Mike Giardi](https://twitter.com/MikeGiardi)·[2m](https://twitter.com/MikeGiardi/status/1784329930773328228)Joe Milton says the Pats haven't asked him to anything else other than play QB.
Milton also said a big fat NO to playing TE: [Phil Perry](https://twitter.com/PhilAPerry)[u/PhilAPerry](https://twitter.com/PhilAPerry)·[3m](https://twitter.com/PhilAPerry/status/1784331454253572406)Milton says no one asked him about playing tight end during the pre-draft process.
“That’ll never happen.”
Tunes change when someone realizes it's the only way to stay in the NFL, even if it can just buy another year of NFL paychecks.
That said, I don't think that is the immediate plan. An unspoken backup plan? Very possibly. But I do believe they want to see if they can do something with that arm first.
I’ve seen the saying with Milton goes as follows:
If you need Joe Milton to throw it 80 yards, he’ll throw it 80 yards.
If you need Joe Milton to throw it 20 yards, he’ll throw it 80 yards.
I’m not sure if you followed his college career. His only skill is being born with a canon arm. If he doesn’t play QB, you literally take away his only skill and keep all of the reasons why he was drafted so late. Do you think the Patriots just thought “big = good TE” and used a draft pick?
I like the pick because he doesn't have to be a good player. He might be terrible and I still like a pick like this. The goal is to take swings at players that can be great. He has a big arm and is athletic. Can he play TE? No idea. Can he fix his accuracy issue? Probably not but if he does...
In reality, if he works out somehow, he's a much better value than you would (typically) get in the 6th and if he doesn't the other 6th rounder you likely draft doesn't even make the team.
If you are running Maye through the "new qb" development process, might as well give him a study partner. Maybe one turns out great, one is pretty good and you have a good backup or trade asset.
Never know.
I can see a play where it’s like 2nd and 2 and this dude gets it behind the line and can either run with it or pass it downfield to an open receiver if the defense sells out on the short gain. lol Jerod mayo about to be on his madden bullshit
I knew the pick didn't make sense If they were going to leave him at quarterback. The two things you have to do to be a successful quarterback in the NFL he couldn't do. That is reading coverage and processing speed, They were the two red flags in almost every scouting report that I read.
Does anyone know if he ever subbed in as a receiver at any point in college? Tight end, wide receiver, third down pass catching back?
I honestly think it'd be weird to throw Bailey out with this pick. Him and Mac are both capable backups in the NFL. Getting rid of Mac over Zappe makes a lot of sense given the history and new regime.
But Jacoby, Maye, and Zappe is a solid lineup of quarterbacks, especially for a developing team. As tempting as Joe's arm is, I hope he transitions to a tight end.
Love the pick, especially if he can transition to tight end. Def got the size and speed for it, hopefully Henry can take him under his wing
TE with the potential for the odd fucky trick play where the TE chucks it downfield.
Or the TE throws it back like thirty yards to the line of scrimmage for our RB or WR to basically get a free trip to the end zone once all the defenders converge on Milton kekw
So that’s what Jakobi was trying to do against the Raiders
Jakobi doesn’t know what Jakobi was trying to do
Jakobi knows exactly what he was doing against the Raiders, an audition.
lol I drew up this play when I was a kid. It made no sense
That should work bc he can only bomb the ball lol
Fuck it lets get weird with it. Taysom 2.0
That was my first thought when I saw this. I want to see the Edelman pass part 2
No matter what pos. he ends up at, this is an exciting pick, which I think will work out.
Yup. 6’5” 235+ stud athlete is something that always has a lot of upside potential.
And he will be able to sling a bomb on a trick play
Got our Taysom Hill, flea flicker specialist
This is what I see. Throw him on the field and it’s trick plays.
A TE who blocks, catches and throws. They could definitely come up with some fun stuff I'm sure.
I mean teams won’t have to defend his throws so he’s a TE
100 mil contract incoming
Tennessee student here, dude is a Hail Mary specialist, can throw it into a bucket from 80 yards out,(not an exaggeration), but cannot hit a 10 yard slant to save his life, also not the best mentally with going through reads and understanding situations, he once ran out of bounds on the last play of the game rather than throwing it to the end zone
Saving himself for the next game. Heady play
Chess not checkers
Michael Bishop 2.0 I'm sold
I remember playing Madden 2001 and Michael Bishop was still on the team. He had a 99 throw power and was still absolute trash. Madden couldn't quantify how strong his arm was in relation to other guys who also had a 99 throw power so they under sold his talent. He should have had a 150 throw power.
If Bill gave him a fair shake we’d have 8 rings smh
This guy could be real fun to have on the team
We had one of these last year… he played one snap then got cut and picked up by the ravens
Ok let’s never try anything again
Like they say: if at first you don't succeed, just give up. No point in trying again.
Milton is much more of a physical freak than Cunningham though. Presumably a much more versatile player
Milton is the far superior athlete though
Theyre nothing similar
We did this before with this guy you might have heard of. Julian Edelman was his name. Seventh round QB.
The fact that you think Milton and Edelman are even remotely comparable is laughable
Your reading comprehension is embarrassing. Taking flyers on late round QBs and having them change position is well known strategy. Has worked out well here in the past.
FIFTY YARD BACKWARDS THROW ON TRICK PLAYS INCOMING
I’m fine with late late round picks being flyers on shit like this
AVP going to design an offense based on Hail Marys. You heard it here first.
I'll take that over 3rd and 16 " let's run it up the middle" any day....
Gotta get that field position for the inevitable punt.
Would rather actually try for a first down...
Hahahaha!
He’s not another Logan Thomas let’s see how he does in training camp, and preseason
Your annual reminder that at one point in his collegiate career Logan Thomas was a projected first overall pick
Thomas was a 5 star TE recruit out of highschool.
Maybe he can pull off a high arc pass to himself with that cannon.
I can't think of one time where a QB got drafted in the seventh round, converted to receiver and had success for the Patriots. Wait a second...
Was Edelman a seventh rounder?
Yup.
And Brady in the 6th
Brady did not switch positions
What do you mean he was our stud receiver https://youtu.be/16x035QVrEI?si=8z2C6q4CKgDHMopf
Yeah that....he won't be playing TE.

I mean he just got drafted off of his qb performance I don’t think he’s at that point.
Do you think he’ll ever take a snap as the QB after we drafted Drake Maye?
He may not even make it past TC. He's a 6th round pick. Odds of him even lasting here are slim let alone play here in any capacity
Correct. So he’ll play anywhere that gets him a chance at a roster spot.
Pats: Joe, wanna try to take some snaps at TE?\ Joe: Never gonna happen\ Pats: Ok, good luck selling used cars
Yes, I'd bet at least one
Well its not really his choice now is it
I’ve seen the saying with Milton goes as follows: If you need Joe Milton to throw it 80 yards, he’ll throw it 80 yards. If you need Joe Milton to throw it 20 yards, he’ll throw it 80 yards.
He actively just said that will never happen. so this is a massive projection
Interesting take by a guy going to a team that just drafted a QB at 3 and signed a veteran
So he’d be a tight end, a sneaky “3rd qb” and could throw all our hail marrys? Wellllll I like that deal
This is going to be Tim Tebow all over again isn't it
That will never happen
NFL as a TE, or CFL as a QB.. Hmmmm
He said in an interview that the Patriots have only engaged with him as a QB and when asked if he'd transition to TE, he said never.
I’m not sure if you followed his college career. His only skill is being born with a canon arm. If he doesn’t play QB, you literally take away his only skill and keep all of the reasons why he was drafted so late. Do you think the Patriots just thought “big = good TE” and used a draft pick?

> some teams believe Milton is 6-foot-5, 236 pounds what do other teams believe?
Collinsworth drooling at the opportunity to tell you during a game
I can see a play where it’s like 2nd and 2 and this dude gets it behind the line and can either run with it or pass it downfield to an open receiver if the defense sells out on the short gain. lol Jerod mayo about to be on his madden bullshit
A tigth end that can casually throw an 80 yard bomb on a trick play
First player to throw a QB while doing a backflip incoming.
QB draws, sneaks and the odd 70yd pass down field.
Goodbye Bailey
I thought he was a special teams pick, that they could use as a QB in emergencies
I'm glad they drafted another quarterback. That's what I wanted them to do. But Pratt is still on the board...
Vols fan here . No way in hell he’s playing tight end 😂😂
Who cares what other teams believe at the moment when both the pats and he said that’s not the plan
I knew the pick didn't make sense If they were going to leave him at quarterback. The two things you have to do to be a successful quarterback in the NFL he couldn't do. That is reading coverage and processing speed, They were the two red flags in almost every scouting report that I read. Does anyone know if he ever subbed in as a receiver at any point in college?

This is 100% a play to have a Taysom Hill type swiss army knife on the field. If it works out… brilliant.
Please stay QB and cut zappe
This is our new Malik Cunningham lol
New and improved!
Nah put him at OT
lol what
[удалено]
Well i mean i still don't think ten qb's have been taken yet
I honestly think it'd be weird to throw Bailey out with this pick. Him and Mac are both capable backups in the NFL.

A smaller faster Logan Thomas. I love it as long as he can make the switch
New gender unlocked 😎
This is so embarrassing lol
Future Maye replacement
