2020 NFL mock draft: Dolphins trade up for Tua Tagovailoa

The Detroit Lions have the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and like the Washington Redskins, they could be in the market to move out of the spot. The Lions have issues they need to address on both sides of the ball, and moving a No. 3 overall pick would bring them back a ton of draft compensation.

However, the Lions have issues at the cornerback position, especially with them trading away Darius Slay, as they had the worst pass defense in the league last season. While they made a nice move adding Desmond Trufant, there is still work to do, and they get the best cornerback prospect in this draft by far here at No. 3.

Jeffrey Okudah is head and shoulders above the rest of the players at his position group, and he would be an excellent addition to this Lions secondary. With Trufant and Okudah at the top of the depth chart, the position group gets an upgrade, as the Lions try to make a move in a tough NFC North next season.

The Miami Dolphins decide they cannot wait any longer to get their franchise quarterback, trading with the New York Giants for the No. 4 overall pick. This move enables them to make sure they get their guy, and after a strong free agency period, the Dolphins could be a team to watch in 2020 and beyond.

With the No. 4 pick, the Dolphins add Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who looked great in his Pro Day, and is apparently healing nicely from his hip injury. In fact, many believe that is going to be a non-issue at the NFL level, and based on his physical abilities, he could end up being the best quarterback to come out of this draft.

Miami will have to part ways with a late first round pick to move up one spot in our mock, but Tua will prove to be well worth it when all is said and done. With Tom Brady out of the AFC East, it is anybody’s to win in 2020, and the Dolphins may have done the most in their division to revamp their roster in a positive way this offseason.
