Which QB do you think Zac would draft?

Tua can throw the ball deep and has the touch to allow WR to run after catch. He is very similar to Deshaun Watson who I would be fine drafting number one overall.

Picking OT at the top of the first vs near 20 is very different. OT is a sought after position so you are already getting scraps by then. If you watched film, you would see that he was not a good player for the NFL.We picked him for various reasons one of which is that he was probably the last OT with a first round body. But if you look at the rest of that round, the rest of the players were pretty much busts.

He is definitely better than what has came out of Alabama lately, that's for sure. That said, the point still remains, he's surrounded by a lot of talent too. I was pretty high on him until he got benched in the 'chip. They play a lot of cupcakes early in the year too.

You can, but when you look around the league, a lot of the up and comers were guys that carried their respective teams in college, not the other way around. Watson is the exception.....but he's damn good at getting out of trouble, has a good arm, and is pretty smart with the football. He was all of that at Clemson too. 

Call me cautious on Tua at the moment. I'm not saying he will or will not translate at this level, but when I look at past tendencies from both QBs and RBs out of Bama, I'm a bit wary. Of course, Henry and Ingram have played well though.
