If I thought Miami was going to be a playoff team next season, I'd do that too, but they won't be.In fact id trade our 2021 1st for a 2020 2nd and 2021 2nd
I guess the fact no NFL player has ever been able to come back and have a successful career after suffering the type of injury Tua had obviously doesn’t concern you.I mean it was ankle injuries not torn ACL's before the hip injury lol I could give a damn about ankle sprains when evaluating him for the draft.. The hip you definitly need your doctors to check out but if his prognosis is favorable roll the damn dice!
If Miami drafts him, I hope so too. If another team drafts him, I don't give a damn. I hope he falls into IR purgatory.I guess the fact no NFL player has ever been able to come back and have a successful career after suffering the type of injury Tua had obviously doesn’t concern you.
Dennis Pitta is the last player to have a similar type hip surgery. He was eventually cleared to play again but
within two years he was forced to retire permanently from the NFL after suffering two more hip injuries.
So just because the doctors might clear him to play doesn’t mean he will play very long because the human body isn’t made to sustain blows to the hip after the type of surgery Tua had.
I hope he has a full recovery and he is able to lead a productive life but I really don’t think his body will hold up and he will have a very short career in the NFL. If the Dolphins do draft him, they will be lucky if he last more than 2 years in the NFL.
I think most of his hype has been from that game against Bama. He really hasn't lived up to that game since. Considering the schedule that he has played, his numbers should be off the chart.He was pretty accurate when he beat Tua and 'Bama last year. He's getting a lot of pressure tonight.

Really??? Young did squat down the stretch especially the playoffs. We can do better
With that condition, Carolina is probably the only realistic trade partner, but I would be fine with moving down 2 spots. Probably only getting 2 seconds, or a second and third though.Stay put or move down no more that 5 spots.
I'm an advocate to draft Tua (if the outlook is favorable), but what you stated is my concern too. The one thing he will have going for him, if drafted by the Fins, is time. He was injured November 2019, if our team drafts him, he will not see the field all year (2020). He won't see any live action until June 2021. We're talking about a year and half of rehab.
I believe Dennis Pitta was rushed back too soon. Pitta's injury happened in 2013, and he returned the following year, in 2014, to play a position he was counted on to block a lot. The Ravens is a run first team and that's what Pitta did a lot of, although he was a good TE. He lasted only 3 or 4 games that season and was placed on IR again.
If Tua's prognosis remains "excellent" for full recovery, than by all means, he should be our guy, and we're in a great position to draft him. He would land in the perfect situation where he would be not counted on to play until 2021. By that time, with all their resources (draft picks and money) they'll have a rock solid o-line too. It's a Perfect Scenario.
