I'm sure there will be more of this. The guy who runs Seahawksdraftblog.com has been pushing the injured too-risky Tua theme for a month or more. Yesterday he taped an interview with Lombardi that will be posted within a day or two. Given the situational influence of taping the same day Lombardi made the comments there certainly will be emphasis along those lines, even though the blog is obviously Seattle aimed as a rule.
There seems to be a trend developing. I'm not one to ignore trendlines even if some of the details within don't pass scrutiny. Given Tua's injury history and inability to get a look at him there probably is growing potential that one team after another would pass on him. I wouldn't be comfortable setting an over/under on Tua's draft slotting right now. However, even if the consensus is lower all it takes is one team to have a different opinion, and less fear. That's more likely at quarterback than anywhere else.
