What about Jalen Hurts?

[Pompy]

Didn't Hurts beat out Tua at Alabama before getting hurt? His ProFootball Focus PFF is equal to Tua and you can get him probably with our 3 round pick. He doesn't have the intensive injury history either. If Tua falls to 5 take him but I wouldn't trade up to get him unless you give a 4 or later round pick. Jake Fromm had decent grades and was a winner at a high level school (Georgia). Even Anthony Gordon accuracy is second only behind Burrow and you can probably get past the third round. Just a thought.....

If we want him, I think it would take our pick at 26, if not 18. He threw very well at the combine.

I wouldn't mind him in the later rounds he could end up being a Steal

 

[ChrisEAS]

I know lots of people loved him last year and year before.

I would take him only if he fell to like 3rd round, for some reason.

Tua outplayed Jalen in practice not much after he got on campus. Guys are not in the same league.

Yeah. I wouldn't say he 'beat out' Tua. Tua was a true freshman and Saban favors experience at QB. Everyone knew he was taking that job eventually.

I love Jalen Hurts the person and leader. But there are serious concerns about whether or not he has an NFL arm. Drastic difference in the deep ball and timing routes when Tua replaced him at Bama.

Comes down to either Herbert at 5, or wait until day 2 for a QB, and get the tackles and a wideout in the first round and a star RB.
The Dolphins will have a chance at one of Whirfs or Wills for RT at 5. And then Austin Jackson for LT later. And solve those two for four years.
If Jalen Hurts is there in the second round that would be great, if not then Cole McDonald on day 3.

Defensive prospects are not worth it this year in first round, at least for what we need which is the edge players and dbs, maybe not even until day 3. Basically day 1 and 2 should be offense, that's where the value is.

health Tua is better than Hurt..
It still depend on injury w Tua.. if his body can handle Nfl..one leg Tua is not. I think 3rd or 4th rd qb Jalen Hurt should get pick in draft.

I really don’t see Hurts as a starting caliber QB in the NFL. He might be worth a 5th or 6th round selection and that way they could experiment with him playing other positions and as the third team QB but hopefully he is not on their draft board as a pick any higher than the 5th round.

 

[Fin-Loco]

I like Hurts just not anywhere near as much as Tua.

 

[Danny68]

I did read somewhere, that if Miami went with Hurts later on in the draft, they could fill their roster with a few of their earlier pics, with positions of need.
Sounds like an intriguing way of thinking..

‘I think when you look back at the 2020 draft in 5 years, the only quality starting QB‘s from the draft will end up being Burrow and Tua if he can stay healthy. I think the rest of the QB’s in the class will be backups by year 5 or no longer in the NFL.

Oh god. Not this again.

Hurts has improved for sure, but to think he's in the same league as Tua, Burrow, Herbert, or Lamar Jackson or Russel Wilson .... is just .... wrong

Similar to all the times we've filled out our roster with players and 'hoped' for the QB later. We've seen this show. Pass.

You wouldn't go Jordan Love at 5, or trade down a couple of spots, then Love?
