True about better teams late.....if you could get Pats/Steelers or something...where good organization...The contract values drops significantly between #1 of $35m and #15 of $15m. He stands to lose significant money, but the better teams are in the cheap seats![]()

True but 15 million is still 15 million. I definitely wouldn't advise him to turn it or any first round money down in a risk to get more a year later. Even if he's a bust and doesn't see a second contract that kind of money can feed a family for life and, if played and managed right, feed the next several generations. If you have a first round draft grade, unless your family is already completely financially stable, you need to go get that money.
Like someone said earlier in the thread, any team talking down on Tua is simply hopelessly trying to get him for cheap in his first contract. There is absolutely no way he falls out of the first round. I would be absolutely shocked if he wasn't one of the first 10 picks, unless his recovery outlook takes a huge nosedive between and April.
Selfishly I would love for Tua to return but he should go. He's already a BAMA legend, a CFB legend even. Screw a Heisman and records and a possible additional ring. Go get that money.
Prior to which draft? 2021?The biggest thing for his draft stock will be knowing if he will be able to workout for teams at any point prior to the draft.
Prior to which draft? 2021?
It's hard to see him being able to show much of anything when we look at his projected timeline. He's been told three months before beginning light throwing routines and that leaves no time to shake off any "rust." If he's able to handle the lighter drills (let's say March) he's still looking at another three months before getting into a full workout.2020. I don't think anyone will draft him if he is not able to stand and throw before the draft. I don't expect him to do a full workout but he will have to show he is progressing.
Does an NFL team roll the dice and hope for the best?
And what if the ability to have rotation in that hip is severely compromised? While we know what the doctors are saying we don't know how he'll recover. It's the unknown in the room and something I'd shy away from with a top pick in the draft.For Tua I would based on what he has shown in College.
