Overlooked by LSU pro day was the Vols yesterday. Joe Milton who is my QB7 although pretty far behind the top 6. Milton ran a 4.56 40 which is really good for his size. I think his feet look a little slow in drops, but man he can sling it. If we go WR in round 1 and miss on the top 6 then this is the guy I want to take a chance on. He is raw and needs work, but with his arm, Nabers and Hyatt you would have to respect the deep ball opening things up. He is strong for short yardage runs and can hit every pass no matter the wind. Here are some of the highlights from his Pro Day.

He think he is raw because of the offense he played in. Same reason Hyatt was considered raw in running routes.

He should not be as raw as he is with his mechanics. Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller were discussing him last night and they rightfully were questioning if it will ever click

Sorry ... I* think he is raw
Someone will bet on him because of the arm.
A project is fine and dandy, but I doubt Schoen sees that for a 24 year old.
If we are talking about giving a guy to Dabs with plenty of high end traits that just can't be taught(size, arm strength, athleticism), it's Joe Milton. Let Daboll figure out how to get the best out of him.

It's a lot easier to teach a receiver to run a route than a QB to read and react to what defenses are doing.
