I saw Trent Dilfer get interviewed by Colin Cowherd a few days ago.
Colin asked Trent who he would take between Tua Tagovailoa and Joe Burrow.
Dilfer said "I think Tua is the single best prospect I have ever studied". He also said that Tua was "so uniquely gifted in so many ways" and that he could be a generational talent.
Dilfer also said that Tua was "head and shoulders" better than Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert.
I also heard Dilfer say that Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields were more gifted prospects than Joe Burrow. Dilfer implied that he has first hand knowledge of these players.
Dilfer did say that Burrow's football IQ was beyond his years.
It will be interesting to see how NFL scouts view these prospects and how they might rate them compared to other recent prospects that have been successful.
Joe Burrow is getting a lot of Media attention right now but as you say the full Draft evaluation process is still ahead.
The Bengals picking Tua is my nightmare.
I agree he is possibly the most gifted QB in the draft this year, but he has had way too many injuries. He missed last spring game with a broken wrist, has had two ankle surgeries in the last year, and is now recovering from a dislocated hip.
He will drop in the draft because of his injury history and some team will see him as a "bargain". Sound familiar?
