Some gm and owners are willing to go after guys on the draft and free agency that others either downgrade or red flag because of injury.

I know if I were a GM (especially since I have had multiple concussion and have long term effects) that I absolutely would not take a QB with a history of concussions in college earlier than the 6th round. No way would my team have given Tua that contract.

I loved Michael pinnix in college...he was awesome whenever he was upright but those bad offensive lines at Indiana got him hurt, it would have been round 6 before we would even entertain that risk. He may be great, but the risk of busy in round one QB is like 60 percent without injury concerns.
