Tua's talent is undeniable but his injury rate is a HUGE concern. Not to mention a hip injury is not a joke, as someone stated earlier it was a similar injury to what ended Bo Jackson's career. 

Interesting injury analysis here. Thanks, Dr Pepper.

If Tua checks out medically I don't think he makes it past Miami.  Actually I wouldn't be surprised if they moved up to make sure they got him.  They have the draft capital to move up and I don't see them risking losing out on him if they stay put.  Their fan base believes they tanked for Tua, to let him go a few picks before would be hard to sell to said fan base.  I could see him going as high as 2nd.

If he doesn't check out medically, I don't want any part of him wherever he is at.

I think Herbert and Love are more likely options.

The argument for any QB is actually pretty easy.  The QB is the most important position on the team and its not even close.   The problem with drafting QBs though is they are hard to evaluate and if you are wrong its a bit of wasted pick.  Its not like they can be part of a rotation.  Also it takes some time to know if you are right or wrong.  QBs take time to develop, you use a high pick, then you also have to invest 2 years of time.  Other positions you know a lot quicker.

You have Burrows and then:

1. An injury prone (thus far) QB to come in and back up your injury prone veteran QB.

2. A guy who is the "next best to the rest" QB whose going to get drafted high for no other reason other than that.

There is far too much risk in taking anyone not named Burrows at QB with the 7th pick. The value just isn't there and you have immediate impact guys at LB, CB, DT, and OT there that will have higher ceilings and floors than the risks you take with the other 2 QBs projected in the Top10.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
