NFL Draft 2020: When Will Tua Tagovailoa Be Selected?
Before the 2019 college football season, Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa was widely projected to be the first overall pick during the 2020 NFL Draft. That changed after Tagovailoa suffered a season-ending hip injury during Week 9 action. Joe Burrow from the LSU Tigers is now a runaway favorite for the first overall selection.
After staying out of the QB free agent frenzy, teams like the Bengals, Dolphins, and Chargers will be shopping for a franchise quarterback. Cincinnati is a near-lock to select Burrow first overall. That leaves Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert as the next top QB prospects, and they will be taken early on Day 1 of the draft.
