Milroe's Draft Stock Dips Post-Senior Bowl

The Alabama Crimson Tide missed the playoffs in 2024, leading to the hiring of Ryan Grubb as their new offensive coordinator to rejuvenate the team. Jalen Milroe, Alabama's quarterback, had an inconsistent season, affecting his draft stock negatively despite his potential highlighted in Senior Bowl practices, where his athleticism was noted. Meanwhile, Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart has generated mixed reviews from scouts, with none rating him in the top two rounds for the 2025 NFL Draft, despite his work ethic being a notable positive. Both quarterbacks faced criticism for their performances at the Senior Bowl, with Milroe's accuracy issues and Dart's inconsistent throws drawing attention. Draft expert Dane Brugler expressed disappointment in their ability to seize opportunities at the Senior Bowl, while highlighting Tyler Shough from Louisville as a potential dark horse in the draft. The upcoming NFL Combine and pro days remain critical for Milroe and Dart to improve their draft prospects.
