59. . Quarterback. Miami Dolphins. Tua Tagovailoa. 3. player

We have a trade here, as the Miami Dolphins cannot wait until pick No. 5 to select their new franchise quarterback. All signs are pointing to Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa being able to make a complete recovery from his hip injury, and if that is the case, he instantly becomes a guy that lands inside the top-5 picks.

In fact, one could argue that he could end up being the best quarterback to come out of this draft class, and Miami would be a perfect landing spot. The Dolphins could go out and bring back Ryan Fitzpatrick as their starter if Tua is not ready, before handing him the ball to lead this franchise for the next 15 years.

Tagovailoa is a special player, and had he not been injured so terribly this past season, many believe he would have been the No. 1 overall pick this April. Miami has to send one of their three first round picks to the Detroit Lions to move up to No. 3, but when all is said and done, it will prove to be more than worth it.

Jedrick Wills Jr.. 4. player. 31. . Offensive Tackle. New York Giants

The New York Giants can stay put at No. 4 and add a player who addresses one of their many needs entering the draft. The Giants have done a nice job adding talent on the defensive side of the ball via free agency, which is great news as the unit as a whole was terrible last season, and here, they add to the offensive line.

Jedrick Wills Jr. is one of the premier offensive tackles in this draft class, and many believe that he will be the first one off the board this April. While this pick could certainly be Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs, Wills is also someone who can come in and start right away, and this Giants offensive line was downright bad at times last season.

New York has a franchise quarterback in Daniel Jones, and running back Saquon Barkley is one of the best in the game at his position. Now it is time for them to utilize a high draft pick on the fellas who pave the way for them, and in Wills, they get an absolute mauler who is ready to start right away.
