If Dolphins value Justin Herbert more
Perhaps the greatest factor in Tua Tagovailoa potentially falling to the Chargers at No. 6 is if the Miami Dolphins value Justin Herbert more. With the No. 5 selection, the Dolphins will dictate much of what happens with the selection directly after them.
There was a recent report stating there has been ‘some buzz’ around the NFL mentioning the Dolphins as being more interested in Justin Herbert than Tagovailoa. It remains to be seen whether Miami actually would pick Herbert if Tagovailoa was on the board still.
It’s reasonable for a team to have some concerns regarding Tagovailoa considering he is coming off a season-ending hip injury. however, there was a clear discrepancy in the talent that Tagovailoa has when healthy compared to Herbert.
