How The Lions Could Be Forced To Take Tau Tagovailoa At #3This will be a short and sweet case for the Lions to do what many Lions fans are calling for and that is draft Tua Tagoviloa with the 3rd overall pick!
In order for Bob Quinn to be forced to make this decision everything has to go bad for the Lions!
That means they have totally struck out with Free Agency in an epically bad way!
No top Free Agent will take their money and they can’t justify overpaying a lower teired Free Agent top dollar!
Plus to make matters worse; they can’t re-sign their own top Free Agents (A’Shawn Robinson, Graham Glasgow, Mike Daniels , Romeo Okwara, Sam Martin), at the same time letting some experience with Matt Patricia’s system walk the door with most of the rest of the team’s free agents (Darius Kilgo, Rashaan Melvin, Mike Jackson, Jeff Driskel, Kenny Wiggins, J.D. McKissic, Logan Thomas, Miles Killebrew, Don Muhlbach) potentially signing elsewhere also!
This is the Dooms Day scenario for a GM and coach under a presumably “win this season” edict!
So it could actually force Bob Quinn to pull off “Perfect Trifecta Miracle”, which is:
- Save his job as Lions GM
- Beat the Stafford conundrum!
- Set the team up to be a contender for the next decade!
1) It could save his job as the Lions GM because “conventional NFL wisdom/logic” that you have to give the GM a chance to win with the guys the team allows him to select! So, if Tua has to “red shirt” his first season or two here in Detroit, the owner may feel incline to extend his contract for 2 years!
2) How this beat the Stafford conundrum is that the Lions will have a potential “Brett Farve-Aaron Rodgers” scenario playout but with a little more respect and tact. This is assuming that teams aren’t offering anything of value for a trade of Stafford that doesn’t come off as you gave him away for nothing to the owners, media, and/or fans!
So if you can’t move him in a beneficial way then “an option” is to let Stafford play out his remaining years of his contract, and have Tua as his understudy for those seasons!
Why do this?
Because you’re giving Tua more than enough time to learn, to heal and fully return from his hip injury!
Plus, because the owners are so in love with Stafford, make him a Lion for life if he’s ready to retire; make a position with the company/team that’s always waiting for him even of he plays for another franchise! That is if the owners just want to be loyal beyond loyal beyond loyal!
3) Because you have your QB for the next decade/ERA of Lions Football and Stafford under contract through 2022 potentially, you have the opportunity to draft and build the team’s roster for Tua’s scrambling abilities…
What do you think?
Will this dooms day scenario force a Tua Tagovailoa Lions teamup?
What if it’s true that he doesn’t want to play for the Lions because concerns the coach and GM wil be gone by his second year…does that make you hesitant to draft Tua at #3?
Does the hip injury scares you at all as Lions fans?
