It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Can you honestly say if Tua miraculously fell to 323 you would not grab him for the Pats in a heart beat. He is so talented. You do not get shots at talent like that too often. In reality I would say he will be picked in the 3-5 range so ZERO chance for pats to get him (not even by trading up).This guy will not make it in the NFL. The Patriots should pretend he doesn't exist and never utter his name.

Gronk was an injury nightmare in college but in the pros was able to carve out a hall of fame career. I
f they can not get Tua, I would be so happy if the Pats could get Jalen Hurt in 3rd round. I think he is a steal. His floor is Dak Prescott and his ceiling is Steve McNair.
Phins will get him. They will copy the Ravens option plays!
Will give the Patriots fits since they play them 2 games every season....
What are you basing this on? The hip was a freak injury. Maybe the repeated ankle injuries?This guy will not make it in the NFL. The Patriots should pretend he doesn't exist and never utter his name.
The hip will be impossible to fully recover from especially now that he's had surgery and will degenerate. He might be able to stave it off a while because he's young, but not for long playing football at the pro level. Having repeated ankle problems is not a good sign either. He's only 6-foot-1 so he'll probably have to roll out a lot and isn't as great a running threat as others in his category (Wilson/Brees/Mayfield/Murray), especially with joint problems. No idea how smart he is or about his attitude, but foregoing his senior year probably was a mistake.What are you basing this on? The hip was a freak injury. Maybe the repeated ankle injuries?
Leaving early is the best decision he could have made. Staying another year could only hurt him more. He wouldn't go any higher next year.The hip will be impossible to fully recover from especially now that he's had surgery and will degenerate.

If he had a great senior year proving himself healthy while gaining further leadership experience/maturity, wouldn't that solidify him as a surefire top pick? Seems there are questions about him at this point that could contribute to sliding.Leaving early is the best decision he could have made. Staying another year could only hurt him more.

You're right, pass-blocking schemes can be designed to accommodate shorter guys finding passing lanes.Shorter QBs don't have to roll out more often or w/e you're trying to say there. It's pocket presence/movement & awareness that helps not height.
Yes, but the hip is a huge concern going forward.You're making a lot of assumptions playing Dr with all due respect.
Honestly no, unless something drastic happens with Lawrence he's going #1 overall. Just too much there to pass on. Fields is right there as well who could easily be #2 overall.If he had a great senior year proving himself healthy while gaining further leadership experience/maturity, wouldn't that solidify him as a surefire top pick?

I was going to congratulate you on getting some ass but then I saw it said “Tua.”I see Tua and I smell a Mariota...
The Pats have too many needs. To pick him, it has to be a gift.Hip is definitely a concern but not a deal breaker rn. If Dr's/teams clear him which I'm leaning towards bc he's coming out you can't pass on him in a QB or nothing league imo. It's the only position you gamble on.
Whether you think Brady is coming back or not, QB is a need.The Pats have too many needs. To pick him, it has to be a gift.
Just as a reminder - the team could always trade UP in the first. The bright side to looking like a complete ****ing disaster on offense and taking an L in the Wild Card round is they get a higher pick. This helps with trading.
Tua gets injured way too much for me to be comfortable with him. In half the games he had to come off at some point because of a hit. When NFL linemen start coming at you, won't the results be just as bad?
I winder what kind if compensatory pic Brady would garner, should be 3 first rounders in my opinion
Idk I can see hesitations on trading up but QB has to be addressed. Vet, trade, draft. Think we have to make a move. Bill isn't just going to hand Stidham the job. He's going to have to earn it.The Pats have too many needs. To pick him, it has to be a gift.
