I don’t know, but I’d give it to Richardson before Will Levis. Don’t understand that one AT ALL.

Well then Milton should be a #1 pick.  Especially compared to Richardson.

No just thought it was funny since we had such a nice season. Granted the pass D was awful.

He had a few good games this year.  He probably didn't suck as much as you think, on balance.

Having said that, I think the NFL always thinks they can develop the (still somewhat raw) talent, or so it seems.  It may have actually worked with Hurts, but rarely does. 

Also they emphasize the physical skills over actual stats, or so it seems.

Even so, I would not be surprised to see him drop to the 2nd or 3rd round.

I can see his upside, particularly on plays like the two point conversion against Utah. However, it seems a late round flyer would be preferred to an early selection.

Taking the knee off the table…. I cannot imagine an NFL team thinking he is better than HH.  Unless it is all about age.
