I dunno if Fields would have been 2 or 3 (between he and Tua) but I agree I think Herbert was sliding at that point and wasn't recovering.
Bolts got lucky though. Herbert has looked good
Herbert went 6th so I guess its a little latter than expected, but Dolphins are probably one of if not the only team in the league that would of taken Tua over Herbert just because they loved him the year before
Yeah but it's possible the Bolts take Fields if he comes out. Or Miami takes Fields and Bolts landed Tua.
We just don't know really. Herbert went from 2019 predraft consensus #1 QB to 3rd QB taken in 2020. And with the year Fields had last year I could have seen a team falling in love with that style in the midst of the current NFL landscape.
I think though once Tua was medically cleared he was gonna be 2nd QB taken.

What makes you think Herbert had a down year? Lol. He had more yards, more TDs and less ints . His slide was because of Burrows season and Miami liked Tua for 2 years. Herbert has all the tools you look for in a franchise QB.
Well admittedly I don't watch a lot of PAC12 but I'm going off memory from predraft talk over the past two years.
