NFL draft's biggest question: Who has the guts to gamble on Tua Tagovailoa?

From second-pick Washington onward, the 2020 NFL draft is a game of chicken, a game of answering one question.

How much guts do you have?

If Tua Tagovailoa hadn’t busted his hip against Mississippi State on Nov. 16, this week’s draft would have boiled down to a debate over which SEC West quarterback should go first overall — Alabama’s Tagovailoa or LSU’s Joe Burrow?

Burrow just put together one of the greatest seasons in college football history — 76.3 percent completion rate, 60 touchdowns passing (five more rushing), just six interceptions, Heisman Trophy, national title.
