His biggest value year one and probably year two would be pretending to be mobile QBs for our scout team. From there we cross our fingers and hope his pass game development hits.
I would take him over Sanders, who to me has quite a low ceiling in McVay's offense, he's more a Shanny underneath type. But I see a lot more value per draft position in taking McCord or maybe Shough if he doesn't get taken too high.
Seems to me that Shough would go before Milroe due to passing game acumen for quickly starting if necessary. If you want a QB who has a chance to play now it's not Milroe or Dart you're after. Rather Shough and McCord. But sadly Dart's performance under pressure is going to get him off that board before he gets to us.
Complication in all this is what if the Rams want a QB who has a chance to be ready in 2026 camp to run the offense. Not sure that's gonna be Milroe. And if it is McVay is probably going to be tailoring shit to him which we know he doesn't like to do. So at this point my guess is it's more likely the Rams are secretly high on McCord, who has a reasonable shot to be ready to step into that job in 2026, than to go with a long term project like Milroe.
But again if McVay takes Milroe that means he was impressed by his grasp of offensive concepts, which means he won't be a long term dev project. A full year in a scheme should be enough at that point I would hope.
