Let’s face it, the Lions haven’t used the Stafford era of the franchise’s years very well. The days of Stafford being their franchise QB are coming to an end and there is no one viable developing behind him. No team expects to be picking in the top five of the NFL Draft the next year so how could they let one of the best QB prospects in recent history past them. Yes, the medicals are a concern but it’s safe to say that Tagovailoa wouldn’t get past the Dolphins or Chargers if he slips past the Lions at three. There are other options available that could also fill the Lion’s needs but the value of the QB position is too important to pass on. With Stafford still in on the roster, Tagovailoa doesn’t need to start right away, allowing him to heal and learn the system, thus falling into a nice spot for him in the early stages of his NFL career.
