Late Day 3? Maybe. At his current draft slot? I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 https://www.footballoutsiders.com/futures/2020/futures-alabama-qb-tua-tagovailoa Since this thread lately has been all about how Tua is amazing, here's a bit of a wet towel thrown onto things. The article is good, and the first half of it highlights things Tua is great at. But here's a part that's negative. Quote When operating on-schedule and unfazed, as the previous five clips show, Tagovailoa looks as sharp as anyone in the class. He can zip through his first couple of reads, find the open man, and throw a plenty accurate ball. The glaring hole in Tagovailoa's game, however, is what happens once the pocket closes in on him. Tagovailoa's work from cluttered pockets is shoddy at best, and deeply concerning at worst. A few factors work against Tagovailoa when operating on muddied pockets. For one, Tagovailoa is not very tall. Tagovailoa measured in at 6-feet flat at the NFL combine, which puts him right around Baker Mayfield territory. Tagovailoa also throws with a fairly low release, which can be fine for taller quarterbacks, but becomes somewhat of an issue for those who do not have that natural height advantage. Additionally, Tagovailoa is not the bravest quarterback when it comes to staring down an incoming pass-rusher and delivering a throw knowing that he is about to get clobbered. Tagovailoa tends to shy away from the contact and short-arm his release, further accentuating his height and low release issues. When paired with arm strength that is more "functional" than "good," it is tough to find many instances on film of Tagovailoa making an impressive throw with bodies around him in the pocket. and then the conclusion worries about if his injuries will make his escape-ability or presence under pressure worse. Quote Figuring out where Tagovailoa lands on the play-under-pressure spectrum depends on how often he can create these chances for himself in the NFL. If he can do so at a similar rate as Deshaun Watson -- which is not entirely out of the question given his quick-twitch style of athleticism -- then he may be fine. If Tagovailoa can only create opportunities at a marginal rate, however -- which may be the case following his hip injury and surgery -- then it is unlikely that he will suddenly develop enough bravado in the pocket to transform this weakness into a strength, or even a net-neutral. Tagovailoa's place in this class is unique. Whether referencing the hip injury or some of the underlying flaws that cropped up on film, it is fair to say now that Tagovailoa is not as elite of a prospect as many assumed him to be prior to the 2019 season, and that he should not be considered this class' top passer. And yet, Tagovailoa is still a tier above the rest of the class aside from Burrow. Perhaps a patient franchise who will not rush Tagovailoa back into game action can provide the right environment for him to make good on all the potential every analyst saw in him a year ago.

Redskin21502 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Anyone here been to the draft since they've changed the location and format the last few years? Do you need tickets for the actual draft not the NFL experience stuff going on around the city? My wife loves the slots and has been wanting to hit Vegas for a few years and I think I have her talked into going there the week of the draft so she can lose all our money in the casinos and I can attend the draft.

SIP's post above says he only did 19, while Cephus with that convict strength, repped out 23, while being 36lbs less. Speaking of TE's. It's kind of funny/weird that PFF's comp for Jacob Breeland is Caleb Wilson. Who I believe we still have on the team after poaching him from the Cardinals practice squad. It was only 19, my bad. Still, Claypool at 6'4 230 has a much better body for TE than Cephus, at only 6'1 i believe, does. Also, i'd LOVE to have Breeland here. He'd be a top 3 round pick if it wasn't for his injury.

That's good, in my heyday up till about 3 years ago, I was up to 215 4 times. 😀 But I've been scared to go back to the weight room since my 2nd hernia surgery. The one thing I can do well combine wise would be run. I did a 40 at the NFL Superbowl Experience event a few weeks back, they timed me at 4.4. I doubt I ran that fast though so I think their timing was off. In my youth, I could do a 40 in the low 4.4's. Now it felt like I ran about a 4.5.

Skinsinparadise Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 All three of those numbers are interesting to me if matched by decent speed. Hunter Bryant seems to be going to town on erasing his rep of being a pure receiver type of TE and bulking up and apparently getting strong. I want to see though if all of this has lessened his speed. I wasn't impressed with Deguara's blocking but it's not awful and at least he's a willing blocker -- he looks to me agile and fast for a TE, will see. I like Pinkney as a blocker more than most do, so good to see he's strong. Hopkins too me also looks like a good athlete for his position, will see, apparently he's relatively strong, too. I don't love him as a blocker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 If we do trade down and got the Dolphins 2nd #1 (I think its about 18?), Queen along with Ruggs, Higgins would be hot on my list if there. Though I suspect Higgins might fall into the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
