Cowboys just traded a comp 5th to NE for Milton and a 7th.

Only reason I bring this up is cause I remember late last season when Milton played pretty well some football guys I follow speculated that the Pats could parlay that play into an early day 2 pick. I thought that notion was ridiculous then and indeed was a rare time I was right.

I think that trade for Milton, may be an absolutely brilliant move for the Cowboys.   While Dak doesn't suck, I just don't feel like he's a winner.   I think Milton has a chance to be special - in the right place. 

Shear talent alone will allow Milton to bounce around for long time.  I live in Knoxville and watched him miss open receiver after open receiver after open receiver.  If you need a Hail Mary from 75 yards out...he's your guy.  Maybe he gets a QB whisperer that unlocks all of the talent he obviously has but until then he is a harder working Jamarcus Russell.

Hey Gozer, I am also a local and I am of the same opinion regarding Milton. He has good college stats, especially at UT, but when I compare him against Hooker's UT time, the difference is significant. Different teams and all that, but it helps me validate my "eh" feeling about Milton.

Edit to add: Also given his size and apparent strength, he's not a dual threat. So even more "eh" when classifying him as a pocket QB.

There is a reason that Hooker beat him out.  He was just better.  Maybe Milton will be a better pro but he is super raw(even at 25 years old).  Talent has never been an issue but he couldn't win the job at Michigan or Tennessee.  Only reason he started at UT was because Nico was a true freshman.  By all accounts, he is a good guy but if he puts it together...he is Cam Newton size with Stafford arm strength.
