The winners and losers of Tua Tagovailoa declaring for the 2020 NFL draft (Detroit Lions:  “What?!” you say. “They already have a quarterback in Matthew Stafford.”  True. But they also have the No. 3 pick. You assume that the Bengals will take Burrow and the Redskins will grab Ohio State pass rusher Chase Young. That means if there’s a quarterback-hungry team out there willing to trade up — the Dolphins are right there at No. 5 and have a ton of picks to use as trade capital, the Chargers are behind them and probably should groom Philip Rivers’ heir … and what if the Buccaneers (14th overall) don’t retain Jameis Winston? — they could end up with a really good return for their pick.  You could also make the same case for the New York Giants at No. 4.):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/01/nfl-draft-tua-tagovailoa-declares-winners-losers
