If Tus falls to 24, then Putin hacked the draft!

Would I draft him at 24? Right after a dose of smelling salts and a few face slaps!

Anyone who is an ortho would say the same thing.

Tua will tear it up in the NFL. He will pass Mahomes as the new generation QB.

Well, it means that about 19 teams saw something that made him undraftable. If he gets to 24, it means there is something very wrong with him.

He is an absolute take at 24.

Mitigated risk....similar to Lamar Jackson. If Tua works out, you can get him very cheap for at least five years and guaranteed control for seven years as compared to four years as a 2nd round pick.

If he flops, he was just a late first round pick. Similar to the Saints and Stephone Anthony.

Besides if this actually worked out it would be destiny. Miami passed on Brees coming out of San Diego due to his shoulder injury which is why he signed with the saints. Saints then draft Tua after Miami passes on Him not once but twice in the draft when he was mocked to them forever. It would be a sign from the football gods.

starting from 18 to the saints pick, you can make a case for each of those teams taking a QB so you'd have to get to 16/17 to be safe. the teams at 16 and 17? the falcons and cowboys so doubt they trade with the saints which means 15 and the broncos would be the aim but that's if tampa doesn't take him at 14


This is me. I would be willing to take him if I picked anywhere in the top 10, but I wouldn't be willing to buy the ticket to trade up that high. He's still there are 12 and I'm curious. He hits 13...14...15... I don't think I could stop myself.

So you are saying that we can take Tua and then trade him, 2021 2nd rounder and Kamara to the Bengals for Burrow

Bengals could get more for the #1 pick. (Burrow). I say this considering Kamara is on the last year of his deal and will want top RB money.

If he drops to 24, that means his medicals aren’t cleared. That’s the only way it happens.

I’d probably pass because it’s likely he won’t be healthy if he falls to us. And I’m not saying he will be a bust, but I’ve never gotten the love for Tua. He has a strong arm, but I feel like his WRs and OL make him look better than he is. Especially when going up against good defenses like Clemson and Georgia. But that’s just me.

Now if you 100% have cleared him medically, you have to take him at that spot. But if you’ve done that, he doesn’t get to that spot.

Everything that has come out has looked positive. He could fall just from the fact that he has had such an injury riddled career. Not necessarily for this injury itself. Also the hype behind Love and Herbert could also cause him to fall.

Isn’t this what people said about Anzalone coming out? So far he’s been a great player, but has had issues staying on the field.

Exactly! It doesn’t matter if you had freak accidents or not if you are injury prone then you are injury prone and I think that would be the reason he would drop.

I don’t know about that ... if another team besides the Bengals or Panthers had the first pick... it’s a chance Tua would be the first pick...

Mahomes, Watson and Lamar success will not allow no QB to fall out the top 10 picks now...

Joe Burrow is the consensus top qb available. It isn’t just bc Burrow is from Ohio. No team is picking Tua ahead Of Joe B.

Top 10 picks are too valuable to gamble on a qb if you are not sure that he is your guy. I do believe the Tua talk is smoke but first round projected qbs fall all the time.
