Also since Tua will be back to throwing come March he's still a top 3 pick.
His ankle surgeries were not required ones, they were both to help future injuries from happening. Not a lot of info on them, but it wasn't cause of injury.
I'm not so sure.
What a lot of people on here who have quoted previous QBs such as Brees or Watson with pre-existing injuries & surgery is that none of them were for a dislocated hip which for any athlete is disastrous far much more than a shoulder or even ACL tear.
I feel for the kid but that's one serious injury and regardless of modern day science that joint will never be the same which is a central function to everyday movement let alone for professional sports. It normally takes years to get used to it & learning from a buddy of mine who had a similar injury the pain is initially unbearable.
I'd be shocked if he makes a full recovery from this & play at the same high quality prior to the incident. Most likely he will learn to compensate from certain movements and maybe focus on other aspects of his game.
Top 3 pick after this injury - I'd be surprised but who knows in this QB needy supply & demand environment, especially as there seems to be a lack of top rated QBs supposedly declaring for the 2020 draft compared to this year's draft.
