Kiper estimating a likely drop to at least #3 on board. What does that mean? Take a look at first three QBs taken 2018 draft and contracts:
2018 -
#1 Mayfield (#1 QB) - $32.7 million
#3 Darnold (#2 QB) - $30.25 million
#7 Allen (#3 QB) - $21 million
#10 Rosen (#4 QB) - $17.6 million
So, looking at last draft, a loss of almost 1/3 of value. Tua has to gauge if coming back is worth worsening his stock versus maybe rising to #2 or #1 and by January. I think #3 is risky anyway as you are betting on NFL teams taking a big risk sans seeing how rehab ends. Dolphins might as so many early 1st round picks.
Of course, some analysts had Burrows #1 before yesterday and if that is the case, it is still almost a 1/3 loss from #2 to #3.
