Mahomes Is Proof You Don't Have to Have a Joe Burrow-Esque Prospect

I just can’t see giving up a lot of draft capital on Tua. He won’t be able to participate in the combine or any pro days and probably still won’t be close to ready by training camps. One of Tua’s best traits was his maneuverability and quickness in the pocket to buy time and no one will have a clue if he still has it. Also, with a severe injury like that a Player can become gun shy in the pocket to avoid another hit and injury. 2nd round yeah, but 1st round or trading up for Tua? NO! Not when you have other QB’s available. I’d prefer Herbert.

Those are the only reasons we might even have a shot at him. If Brees is gonna play another year anyway, we can afford to wait.

Tua is still one of the best QB prospects of the last five years to come out. Doctors will look him over with a fine tooth comb and if he's graded to make a 100% recovery, teams won't hold the injury too much against him. There's still plenty of chatter that Miami takes him at 4.
