Joe Milton is a backup quarterback for the New England Patriots .

The Tennessee Volunteers quarterback had a strong arm at the University of Michigan .

The Patriots signed backup Joshua Dobbs on a two-year , $8 million deal this week .

Milton fell to the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft before the Patriots scooped him up.

A cross section of evaluators from high-level executives to scouts balked at the idea that Milton was now worth a second -round pick.

“Maybe another strong preseason will do it, but he went in sixth for a reason,” an NFC evaluator said.

For now, it’s hard to find a team to make the case that such a peak is happening is this offseason.
