Sure, Rivera has to look at every major draft prospect, like Tua, because we are drafting after Cincy and they may NOT draft Burrow ( extremely unlikely but it still could happen). Or something could happen to Haskins, such as a freak injury or bad drug test or something like that.

What I was talking about regarding Tua was the leaked media reports that we might actually draft him -with Haskins being traded after the draft or TC. THAT idea was just largely fiction in order to see what trade offers or feelers were generated by teams (mostly Miami) that really want to draft Tua. If Miami offered their #5, #18 draft picks and something in the second round, then Rivera would have to really consider that offer. Those high draft picks gets you excellent or very good starters in three separate holes on the team. Say we fill CB, OT and WR or TE. THAT might be worth Chase Young.

But the media leak about Tua was just a fake and Miami knows it. I bet the ‘phins can sit pretty at their #5 pick and Tua comes right to them. No trade needed. We take Chase and he’ll be a star here. I also think Haskins will be our franchise QB of the future. When Chase helps our defense become one of the best squads in the NFL, we’ll all forget about how Rivera tried to trade our #2 spot for a bunch of good starters.....
