We have a draft forum for this but I'll bite.
His injury history was a red flag before this latest injury and this won't help it. I think even if he comes back from this people are starting to get a Sam Bradford vibe from Tua, a great talent who will never be healthy. I would drop him way down my board because of the injuries, I also have some questions about his issues when playing top talent. He has never really risen to the occasion in big games outside of coming in his freshman year and it's concerning.
Some teams will like Herbert over Burrow. I personally am not that guy because I think his stats and big arm distract people from some really questionable decision making at times and issues coming off his first receiver. He went back last year mainly because of that second issue and honestly he may have made a little improvement, but it still seems like he wants to force it to his primary target more times than not (He gets away with it in the PAC 12). I think he could be a good QB, but I am just not as a high on him.
I like Burrow because of the route combinations he is throwing. A lot of people see completions, but it's important to understand what that completion is. He does well scanning the field and going to secondary options and his touch on balls in tight places is reminiscent of Brady (No he isn't Brady, this one aspect is similar). He has plus athleticism to move and escape the pocket, but he keeps his eyes down field to throw over running.
I am in the camp that actually wants Chase Young, however if I was handicapping them I go Burrow/Herbert then a huge drop off to Tua.
