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.

As usual, adding no value to the Huddle.
