Chiefs - Titans

Miami also has two 2nd's. And if Detroit really wants, say, Okudah, if they were to trade down with Carolina he'll be gone. If they trade down to the Chargers, Miami could take him. It's not just the additional picks, it's the order. Miami wins on both fronts.

Interesting points.

Lions need Okudah arguably more than Phins need Tu'a. Patricia has to win asap and you need shutdown corners to have the coverage flexibility for the Belichick tree defense.

If they don't get Okudah they probably draft an OL and rookie OL rarely help win games.

Yeah, they could go Okudah, Derrick Brown, or maybe Epenesa and get instant help on a bad defense. Probably Okudah.
 
Oh yeah forgot about Brown...could see him having a Dexter Lawrence type of impact as a rookie.

Sam Madison is the cornerbacks/secondary coach for the Chiefs. I feel like he was coaching at St. Thomas Aquinas like a year or two ago?

My post assumes the doctors prognosticate a complete recovery. Dude was already walking around last week without crutches. It's not a Bo Jackson situation where there was necrosis with the tissue. And it's also not 1990 anymore. Guys, particularly 21 year olds, can recover quickly and fully.

While medicine has come a long long way since Bo and others, a hip seems like a very uncommon and serious injury. If it's anything like back surgery, it will feel better for a while but then begin to constantly remind you that i's surgically repaired and not meant to take a lot of wear and tear. I would hire a team of doctors to look at Tua's medical and give long-term expectations/risks before i even consider him.
