Joe Milton

Patriots selected Tennessee QB Joe Milton III with the No. 193 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Milton (6’5/235) may have the strongest arm of any prospect to recently come through the draft, but his erratic throwing will keep him off of several team’s boards. Milton had six seasons in college to iron out his accuracy issues and was at his best in 2023 when he threw for 2809-20-5 while completing 64.7 percent of his passes. Milton lost the starting job at Michigan in 2020 which led to his transfer to Tennessee for 2021, and promptly lost his starting job to Hendon Hooker just three weeks into that season. NFL Network’s Lance Zierlein also points out that Milton completed only 38.6 percent of his throws beyond 10 yards in 2023. Teams will like Milton’s physical tools, but a six-year player who deals with accuracy concerns, and has lost two starting jobs in college seems like a bad player to bet on as far as long-term NFL success goes.
