Thoughts on Tua, Draft

[SF Dolphin Fan]

I know the assumption is that Tua will sit for a year. But with the Coronavirus it's possible the NFL season starts late. That could help Tua in his rehab and give him a chance to be a day 1 starter. I know there was risk to this move, but I like that the organization went bold and not with a safer pick.

After Miami traded Tunsil last year the offensive line the Dolphins trotted out week-to-week was about expansion level talent-wise. No surprise that the Dolphins have placed an emphasis on building the line in the draft and free agency. None of those guys are sexy picks, but you still win up front in the NFL. I expect Jackson and Hunt to be the bookend tackles for Tua. To me, Hunt was right up there with Wilson, the Georgia OT who went late first. Jackson's ceiling is very high.

I am somewhat disappointed that the team didn't get one of the top runners. I was pretty certain Miami would take one of Swift, Taylor, Dobbins or Edwards-Helaire. KInd of surprised that Edwards-Helaire was the first one picked.

Excited to see how the Dolphins finish up the draft.

Why? Why does anyone want Tua to be out there day 1? We are going to be starting at minimum 2 rookies on our line all season. An entirely new group. Why risk your next decade on what is already a loser and developmental season. See ya in 2021 Tua.

I don't think a majority want him to sit all of '20. There are quite a few not wanting him to start game 1, ummm, unless he's amazing in PS. even then, that OL will be inconsistent

Tua fans want to see Tua.

I mean can it be any more brutally obvious after the past year and a half around here?

I think they should wait until November at the very least before he gets any reps in live games.

The hit that damaged his hip didn't look very bad.

Tannehill got hit much worse than that at least a hundred times when he was here.

I think Tua's arms and legs might have flown off his body if he got hit like Ryan got hit.

I don't think he would have survived if he got hit like Farve was criminally abused in that bounty-bowl playoff game .

I'd like to see them force a QB competition in 2021 between Tua and Rosen to drive them both.

Rosen would lose no doubt but I hate to see the starter job handed to a QB.
