I’ve been making pretty much one bold draft claim over the last two months, and that’s that Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is a prime candidate to be the major “fall” guy in this draft. And that was only partly due to his injured hip. This week, former NFL GM Michael Lombardi put even more fuel to that fire as April 23rd approaches, saying on his podcast GM Shuffle that at least one team in the top-10 of the draft has failed Tagovailoa on a physical. And it’s only partly due to his injured hip. “What they saw is ... it’s not just his hip. It’s his ankle. It’s his wrist. He broke his wrist the first day of spring ball one year, then they fixed it, he came back, and broke it again. I mean, he’s brittle! He is brittle. You can’t deny it. He’s a really good player,” said Lombardi on the podcast, noting that Mel Kiper and Todd McShay don’t look at the long list of busted QBs in the first round of the draft like Brady Quinn, Mark Sanchez, and JaMarcus Russell. “They all were hot picks ... JP Losman was the next coming of Jesus Christ.” read more https://www.silverandblackpride.com/2020/4/8/21214015/tua-tagovailoa-physical-failed-draft-raiders
