Should we be drafting Tua???

Apologies if I already posted this, been a crazy busy day at work.

Chase Young is my strong preference for the no. 2 pick.

If we did draft Tua, I could talk myself into liking the pick. The ultimate goal of any franchise is to find a franchise QB and drafting Tua would give us 2 chances at that. I think haskins deserves at least this year to prove what he is but, if I had to label him today, I think he is more of a 10-15 ranked QB vs a top 10. And thats fine, you can chase SBs with a 10-15 rank QB as long as you have a strong complimentary team and game plan.

Tua appears to be a higher ceiling QB to me, if healthy. But this discussion re drafting Tua just seems like normal "what if" lets talk hypotheticals off season talk.

Young all day

Looks like a question on what happens if Bengals don't draft Burrows. Maybe they take Young or Tua or trade out. If Young goes #1 then I don't disagree with Skins taking Tua, but hope not Burrows. Simmons is purportedly great but is he a reach at #2? Is a trade down the way? The most fascinating possibilities in the draft in years.

Cincy will absolutely draft Burrows. We will draft Chase Young barring Miami offering us their #5, #18 and #39. Miami will trade with Detroit, not us.

If we trade down (extremely remote possibility) we’ll use the #5 pick for Simmons as the second BPA for the defense.. Simmons MIGHT play as a Sean Taylor clone at FS opposite Collins.

I think we all know who the one yes vote on the poll was.

What if we drafted Tau, traded DH and signed Clowney.

Depends on what we traded DH for, but I wouldn't be happy about it

I don't want Tua.

The guy has had 3 surgeries in the last 2 years, one of them being for a serious hip injury.

For the life of me I can't understand how people are ignoring that especially given how hard this team has been hit with injuries in recent years and how everyone loves to bitch about drafting players with an injury history. He's had trouble standing up to the rigors of college ball, how is he going to deal with the pros where everyone is bigger and faster?

I mean there is literally nothing else in the sports world to talk about, even my son's youth sports are all cxl.

Like i said just playing devils advocate. I am fine with a CY pick and being done.

Because they see Tua has the bright shiny toy and are willing to look past injury concerns on the off chance he is the next Mahomes
