This is always an evolving thought process for me and QBs.

Since none of these QBs are great, and drafting them comes with risk, if the Rams really want to draft a developmental QB they should just swing for the fences and pick Milroe. He’s boom or bust. His boom could be great. It may not have a great chance of happening, but is it really more of a gamble than any of the other available QBs?
Or a better plan: why not gamble on skipping QB altogether this year?

Milroe is a swing, his accuracy is scary and I don't know that ever gets fixed, but if he's cool with giving snaps at slash, I think he's worth a look. Apparently was a great interview at combine.

He’s an academic all American. I don’t know what courses he took but if he’s intelligent he at least should be able to learn better footwork and throwing form.

Yeah, I can see that. For a lot of guys though, it ends up being the processing that kills them. Ability to read things pre and post snap and it doesn't necessarily correlate to overall intelligence.

He's intriguing as hell, that's sure!

Agreed. It’s processing speed. I have no idea if Milroe has it. I’ve seen indications that Dart doesn’t. It’s why I’m not a big advocate of the Rams picking him.

I'm definitely not against Shough. Don't get it twisted. If he's there in R2/3 I wouldn't hate it.
