I am actually pretty shocked how snakebit most on here seem to be about Tua's health...I thought I was being a bit worrisome...
I am changing my stance...if Tua is there at #6, you gotta let em' hang, and make that pick. Dare to be great.Adopted Bolt: Scott Matlock
Final prediction: Latham OT, Colson LB, Sainristil CB,Rice WR, Zinter OG, Nourzad OC, MacLachlan TE, Vidal RB, Lovett DT

Lone, I think a lot of us are gunshy after seeing what happened with someone like Verrett. Great talent, but just injured way too much to be of much use at all. Classic injury bust. Now, the big question is, will Tua be similar? That's why I posted that long list of injuries at the beginning of this thread. Had it just been the hip injury alone, we might chalk that up to a once in a while thing. But with Tua, we have a true INJURY-PRONE player. I'd sure hate to draft him at #6, only to rarely see him play. Need to get it right at #6. Take flyers on injury prone players round 3 and after...
But when you are talking about the leader of the francise for the next 15 yrs...I think the payoff begins to justify the gamble...thats allAdopted Bolt: Scott Matlock

Even bad NFL teams have a pass rusher who is better than anyone Tua was getting hit by in college. Good defenses have multiple pass rusher. He is going to be hit more frequently and harder by the defense. At the same time, there is no NFL OL who is as dominant as the OL he was behind in Alabama. Add that to a 17 game (plus preseason and playoffs) vs 12 game season, I don't see any way he stays healthy. I don't think you can even consider drafting him, maybe not in any round. Certainly, not in the important picks of day 1 and 2 of the draft.

I would much rather roll with Tyrod and get a player like Simmons than waste the #6 overall pick on a QB when none of the QBs in this year's draft are worthy of being selected #6 overall.
