Joe Milton, once a highly-touted quarterback prospect, has seen his draft stock drop significantly, ultimately landing in the sixth round after being picked up by the New England Patriots. Despite possessing one of the strongest arms in the draft, resembling that of Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen, evaluations of Milton highlighted concerns over his accuracy and decision-making abilities. His performance in the previous season's preseason and a late-game showing against the Bills raised some eyebrows, yet skepticism remains among NFL evaluators about whether he could be worth a trade for a higher draft pick.

The Patriots ended up signing veteran Joshua Dobbs, which complicates Milton's future with the team. If the Patriots acquire a more seasoned backup, it could indicate they are open to trading Milton. While some evaluators express that all it takes is one team to believe in him, the overall sentiment suggests he is unlikely to command a second or third-round pick based on limited on-field success.
