TUA TAGOVAILOAQB, COLLEGE PLAYER
Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) will reportedly throw for NFL teams before the 2020 NFL Draft.Tagovailoa is on track to be "healthy" by April and is planning on participating in a 40-minute throwing session for NFL teams. If things go as planned, Tua will throw between 60-80 passes during that time. The Alabama stud has the potential to be drafted inside the top-three picks but needs to prove that his dislocated hip can hold up in the NFL. Team doctors will obviously play a major role in Tagovailoa's draft process. On the field, Tua is one of the most accurate and accomplished passers to enter the draft in recent memory.

I think he's going #2 or more likely, #3. Detroit is in great position at #3. Miami is at #5 and will probably have to move up. Miami also has #26 this year...

He is the definition of not being able to play out a season. That hip injury scares the hell out of me. He has the talent and should still go top 5-10

Teddy had a terrible pro day and that is why he fell. You saying he isn't going to work out well? If so, how can you make that prediction and what is it based off of?

Teddy was already falling before his pro day. His average at best pro day didn't help.

Average "at best" was coming from someone that rarely talked bad about players. Very positive. Lets call a spade a spade and say it was bad. It was.

I'm with you 100%. Tua was a great college player, no doubt, but a serious hip injury is no joke. Plus, I hate using this as a reason to be cautious, but not a lot of successful left handed QB's in the NFL the last 5 years or so. This certainly could change with him but it does change blocking schemes. Lastly, on scale of competition, he was throwing to the best receiving corps I have ever seen in college football and that likely won't be the case in the NFL.

He had the very best WRs no doubt. I actually like Tua better than Burrow. I will be very interested to see his game translate. He doesn't really do anything thats great. I can see him being a great college QB but just an OK NFL player. Trevor Lawrence IMO is the real deal and will translate to the NFL.

Tua in Honolulu Blue is not something I'd like to see...

Agree that if his medicals are good, he's a top 10 pick. Vikings would have to be in love, assured about his hip and willing to make a KC like move to get him. That would be very unViking like.

No matter how good his medicals come back, it is going to be hard to overlook that he's had 3 leg/lower body related injuries/surgeries in the past two years. If he fell to #26, sure. If he fell to #32 and you want your future QB on a 5 year deal, giddy up.

Absolutely...

Just wild speculation at this point.

He's definitely going to set the 1st rd depending on where he goes.

He's the closest thing I've seen to Wilson in a while. And I luv me some Russell Wilson. I'm on-board with this mobile qb religion.

If Hurts was available at the end of Day 2, that could scratch your mobile QB itch..

True and I like Jalen too.

I'm not saying the next kid @ QB needs to be Lamar like. Hell, I'd settle for an improvement on pocket poise and movement...Just not at the expense of accuracy and decision making. 

And that would need to include better interior OL play of course.

If we could marry Case's ability to buy time with Kirk's everything else, we'd be unstoppable.
