The Patriots selected Milton in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 193rd overall.
ANALYSIS
The Tennessee signal-caller predictably wowed folks with a bazooka of an arm during throwing drills at the NFL Scouting Combine and ran a respectable 4.62-second 40-yard dash time at 6-foot-5, 246 pounds, but he didn't carve out a full-time starting role until his sixth collegiate season in 2023. Even then, Milton failed to put up eye-popping stats in an offense in which Hendon Hooker had been a Heisman Trophy contender one year prior. Milton is the definition of a project at the quarterback position, and if he's unable to beat out Bailey Zappe for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart behind veteran Jacoby Brissett and first-round pick Drake Maye, Milton could be converted to tight end, where he might profile as an interesting prospect thanks to his size and athleticism.

Not interested in TE work
After being drafted by the Patriots in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 193th overall, Milton told reporters that converting to tight end "will never happen," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Milton was the second quarterback taken by the Patriots in the draft, with North Carolina's Drake Maye selected with the third overall pick. With New England's quarterback room consisting of Maye, Bailey Zappe, Nathan Rourke and Jacoby Brissett, the addition of Milton fueled speculation that the Tennessee product was taken with another position in mind. Head coach Jerod Mayo noted that the Patriots "drafted [Milton] as a quarterback," but sounded open to moving the signal caller around once offseason workouts are underway.
