No slight to you personally, but, luckily for us no one can predict QBs. Not the least of which are the scouts for the Dolphins. I’m not worried. Herbert and Tua have the same bust factor as any other first round QB. Tua isn’t some Andrew Luck QB prospect. The bust factor is always high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude basically had an improved rating every year of his career. Only two complete seasons. Talent was there..... was never healthy enough to capitalize on it. Same goes for Pennington, but Pennington was more gifted until the shoulders died. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will slight myself, I thought Mallet was going to be an upper tier QB, so I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that a misleading title? The quote from the writer specifically states that the Lions are planning on picking 5th which is the Dolphins pick, and the Lions owned the 3rd. That has been the rumored trade for months. My title specifically addresses "swapping" the 3rd and 5th picks, no other compensation. ?

Mr. WEO Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Mel said the Lions were going after Tua months ago. Salguero is the guy who said the Dolphins were actively tanking before last season started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochesterfan Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just merge the thread with the draft rumors - where this is being discussed already and we don’t have to worry about the title. The Lions are the key to this draft. I hope they don’t screw it up. I want to see some heavy trade action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure wish I pulled that off, ? He didn’t force himself on the franchises, they were consensual and willing partners/johns. Any of us would have done the same. ?

I think the talent around him at Alabama and his injury history give him a good chance to fail. This makes more sense (for the Lions, than dropping down to 18) and it has to be for a QB and not a LT.

Pennington had a Rag for an arm. Tua is far and away more talent than those 2 but injuries are the huge Risk. At the time Bradford has one of the best rookie seasons by a QB... then injuries and a lack of development. The fact that Pennington stayed in the league with the post-surgery arm strength of a toddler is indicative of his exceptional timing, vision and accuracy. Not that his arm strength was average before hand, but managing a 66% completion percentage when all you can do is lob wounded ducks is insane. The injuries happened though, and so did the fourth quarter INTs on deep outs. I agree that Tua has more talent than either. The injury concerns are legit though, as injuries have derailed plenty of promising careers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow is now today & i am so excited there will be something to look forward to even though the Bills will not have a pick in the first round i will be able to sit & actually enjoy a night in front of the boob tube (as the old man use to call it) watching what players will be taken & who the Bills can plan for tomorrow !
