Scenario #2- Tua Tagovailoa, Quarterback, Alabama
For my money, Tua Tagovailoa is the best player in the 2020 NFL Draft and the best quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck in 2012. He is elite when it comes to accuracy, football intelligence and throwing with anticipation. In a losing effort last weekend, he answered his critics, who said that he could only throw slants, by showcasing elite downfield passing and converting third downs with ease against an elite defense, while playing on one leg.
With all that said, I think Bengals coach Zac Taylor will prefer a quarterback with more elite physical traits. Also, it is worth mentioning that Tagovailoa does come with some injury concerns. There have been rumors being tossed around which stated that there were some teams that didn’t have Tagovailoa as a transcendent quarterback and I truly believe the Bengals are a team that will pass on him.
So, we have the right position for the Bengals, but not the right player. There are two other quarterbacks that could be ideal fits for Cincinnati. Who will they choose?
