"When the Bengals landed the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, they never wavered on who they wanted. Despite some public statements, they never considered a trade, and their actions showed it.

According to sources with direct knowledge of the talks, the Dolphins called Cincinnati and attempted to trade for the selection that wound up being LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. The call was quick, and the member of the Bengals brass who picked up the phone quickly hung up.

No interest at all."

I think almost all of Dolphin nation was happy when Tua was drafted. Looks like it may not work out, but such is life. Time for everyone to get over it. The hindsight 20/20 game is so unproductive.

this is so true
 
It would have been nice to have drafted Burrow, but there no chance that the Bengals were going to trade back. So that was going to leave us with Tua and Herbert. At the time I wanted us to pick Herbert but I was happy enough with Tua. Let’s hope that Tua can take the next step and breakout next season. If he doesn’t, we can move on to the next guy.

winning meaningless regular season games to the Bengals and missing out on Burrow. How bout that for part of Flores' legacy with us? :)

I don't watch college football, so when people make a big fuss over a draft prospect, it means nothing to me. I kept hearing about "Tank For Tua" in 2019, and then in 2020 Miami drafts Tua. This is not a knock on Tua's ability but given the choice between what looks to me like a QB on the smaller side who had just suffered a major injury and any other taller, stronger QB who is healthy, I'm going with anyone else!
