In a devastating turn, potential first overall pick Tua Tagovailoa suffered a fractured hip this weekend; how far will he slip in the 2020 NFL Draft?

The entire landscape of the 2020 NFL Draft changed on Saturday night after Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went down in the second quarter of his matchup with Mississippi State. He is now set to miss the rest of the season and has had surgery on his fractured hip; how will this affect his draft stock? We will seek for an answer in this mock draft, but may not know until his medicals at the combine.

One thing does seem for certain, however: Tua seems out of the running in the chase for the top pick in the draft after his second injury this season, and third in two years. How else does Tua’s ankle injury impact the rest of the first round of the 2020 draft? Well here is a mock draft to find out.

The good news is that Tua Tagovailoa has draft insurance that will cover him in case of a slip down the draft board due to his injury. The bad news is we have no idea how far he could potentially fall.

The Draft Network’s mock draft machine was used to complete this mock draft, and the draft order is set based on the current records around the league. Without further ado, here is a 2020 NFL Draft mock after the devastating news surrounding Tagovailoa and its potential fallout.
