Alabama QB Jalen Milroe predicted to solve major problem in NFL after hot start to college football season | Sporting News

The Cleveland Browns have a QB problem; more specifically, a Deshaun Watson problem.

While Watson still has $92 million coming his way via a $230 million guaranteed contract the Browns gave him after trading their 2022, 2023, and 2024 first-round picks, along with fourth-rounders in 2022 and 2024 and a third in 2023, he is no longer an NFL QB1 and Clevelands front office needs to address that.

Enter Alabama QB Jalen Milroe.

Milroe went No.

3 in a mock draft from Sporting Newss Vinnie Iyer , who believes the page needs to be turned on the Browns Watson chapter immediately.

NFL scouts will be interested in the latest Crimson Tide dual-threat, who can remind them of the Eagles' Jalen Hurts with his strong arm and great mobility, Iyer wrote.

Milroe has had a big year to climb back in the top-10 discussion, and whoever is the coach of the Browns next season needs to flip the page from the Deshaun Watson experience.

Not only is Watson a polarizing figure, but some fans are embracing his past transgressions in a disastrous way for their PR.

Moving on from him for just about anyone would be a good call.

Even if its Jameis Winston.

Immediately.

But waiting for Milroe would be a great call considering his abilities and big-game attributes.

Jalen Milroe has won several big games at Alabama Between the 2023 SEC Championship Game, their Week 5 win against Georgia this season, or even the 2023 Iron Bowl where Milroe was a 4th-and-31 miracle away from losing to Auburn and potentially sinking their College Football Playoff hopes, Alabamas star QB is a strong option for any NFL team.

His athleticism will translate, though there are fair questions about if his accuracy is good enough as is.

Regardless, the Browns need a fix under center.

Theyre a QB away from being a Super Bowl contender.

Look at where Joe Flacco got them in 2023.

Milroe is a better answer than anyone else in Clevelands QB room.

Itd be a worthy risk for Andrew Berry and Co..
