Does Tua’s injury make the draft any more or less interesting?

It’s pretty much a given Burrow is going ahead of Tua so that’s been established.
But is Tua really a lock to Miami? I heard some interesting ones, though I’m not all that well versed on cap space/order/trading etc. I’d say it makes at least picks 3-8 pretty interesting no doubt depending on how much a team is willing to sacrifice or wait. Some stuff I’ve heard is Belichick empties the bank and makes a massive trade up. Carolina Panthers beat Miami to the punch in a similar way with the giants or Lions.
Tua at the panthers would be some funny shite, not gonna lie.
ETA: Assuming Tua is at least 90-95% of what he was in college. At the very least fully approved by doctors and the eye test from GMs etc.

I'm not willing to draft him early in the 1st round until I see if he can throw from a wheelchair.

No, but he's a lock to go top 5.
The only way he doesn't go to Miami is if another team trades up to get ahead of them, which could very conceivably happen

I'm sure a team with an established starter would love to snag Tua so he doesn't have to be thrown into the gauntlet too early

When have they EVER done this? That would make for a very interesting draft, but has about as much chance as me getting hired as the next OC for UGA.

Less interesting overall. A Tua vs Burrow for the top pick battle would have been a lot of fun. I'd have rooted for Tua to win to get Burrow out of Cincy
But still very interested in Tua seeing where he goes. Hope he gets a good situation where he can redshirt this season.

I think someone will trade up to 3 to take Tua. None of the other QBs are top 20 worthy

Tua's injury makes this year's draft more interesting than most IMO. It's easily the story of the draft

I'm hoping Miami takes a chance and takes a skill guy at 6, thinking they can grab him later in the 1st and then Chargers draft him.
Chargers have a good oline and at least 1 good wr.
