Lions have Pick # 3 in the 2020 NFL Draft

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/552/lions-pick-2020-nfl-draft


Tua Tagovailoa entering the 2020 Draft is potentially the difference in the Lions either getting Chase Young with pick # 3 or a highly valued compensation package to trade down from pick # 3.

Because of a substantial injury history, Tua Tagovailoa appears to be a highly risky selection in the upper part of Round 1. Yet, all it takes is one team to have the conviction to trade up to pick # 2 or pick # 3 for him.

Report: Tagovailoa family doesn’t want Tua playing for Lions

……………

If I was in the position of Tuo Tagovailoa's family, I would have a similar concern that's expressed in this article. It seems impossible to have fault with them if they indeed believe it's best Tuo isn't drafted by the Lions.

[D6]

Tua Tagovailoa’s hip fracture is reportedly healed, which is excellent news for Detroit Lions

……………

This is indeed excellent news for the Lions, in addition to excellent news for Tua Tagovailoa. Pick # 3 likely will increase in value.

[D6]

Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins are oddsmakers’ co-favorites to draft Tua Tagovailoa
……………

One positive in particular regarding the article is the value of pick # 3 should increase because many believe the Lions have very serious interest in drafting Tua Tagovailoa with pick # 3.

[D6]

Las Vegas either knows something, or absolutely nothing, about Lions’ draft plans

………………

With the injury history of Tua Tagovailoa factored in, even the long term risk of drafting him and trading Matthew Stafford seems high.

[D6]

Quarterbacks not named Tua the Lions could have their eyes on at NFL combine

………………….

Because of the ultra importance of the QB position in the NFL, many QBs go higher in the draft than they should based on their play in college and /or NFL potential.

Tua Tagovailoa says he’s open to landing with Detroit Lions


………………..


Because of the injury history of Tua Tagovailoa, a rookie season in which he watches from the bench probably would be in his best long term interest.

[D6]

More good news for Tua Tagovailoa, which is more good news for the Detroit Lions

…………..

Excellent news all the way around!

[D6]

NFL combine 2020: Yup, the Lions are going to be talking to quarterbacks

……………….

At this time, I am of the opinion that the most likely outcome for the Lions in the 2020 Draft, at the QB position, is the team will draft a QB in the Middle Rounds ( 3, 4, or 5 ).

[D6]

Washington either wants Tua at No. 2, or wants Miami to think so

……………….

One way or the other, it's looking like the Lions will be in a great position in the pick # 3 spot.

[D6]

Tua Tagovailoa reportedly resumes light football drills after clearing another medical hurdle


Latest tests on Tua Tagovailoa look good

………………….

The value of pick # 3 continues to increase!

[D6]

Dolphins bring Jordan Love in for last-minute visit

……………..

The Dolphins evaluation of Jordan Love as a prospect could go along way in whether they have serious interest in trading up from pick # 5 for a QB. If they have a very high opinion of Love as an NFL QB prospect in their system, they probably wouldn't satisfy the Lions in a potential trade involving pick # 3 of the 2020 Draft.

NFL Free Agency Preview: Quarterbacks ( 2020 )

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/603/free-agency-preview-quarterbacks-2020?page=1&scrollTo=2814

An enormous obstacle for the Lions drafting Tua Tagovailoa is Martha Ford and her daughter Sheila supporting the decision to the point that this is no longer a mandate season for Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia. Bill Belichick would have much more flexibility with a decision to draft a QB with pick # 3 if he had Matthew Stafford on the roster because Belichick has the most success of any NFL HC in the modern era.

Another obstacle is what was mentioned in the article, the travel restrictions of the Coronavirus. Unfortunately, the Lions might have lost some trade leverage with pick # 3 because of the new reality of the NFL, as it relates to the Coronavirus ( in a football context ).

[D6]

How coronavirus could affect Detroit Lions' chances of dealing No. 3 pick in NFL draft

…...…………

It seems highly unlikely the Lions would draft Tuo Tagovailoa without the Lions medical staff being able to exam him. Especially, with Matthew Stafford already on the roster and the expectation by the Ford Family for the Lions to have a much better 2020 season than what occurred in the 2019 season. Yet, I do believe Tagovailoa will be taken from pick # 2 to pick # 6 in the draft.

Tua Tagovailoa ready to compete without any restrictions

……………….

Very good news!
