The book on Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is pretty well-established at this point—highly talented, major injury concerns.

As one general manager told Tom Pelissero of NFL.com, drafting him "is a little bit of a leap of faith."

An AFC scout had similar sentiments, noting: "He's got some traits about him that seem like they're high-level—instincts, accuracy, quick release and even some of his mobility. Durability is just the question there. When he scrambles and gets out, whoever has him is probably going to be holding their breath.
