Detroit Lions should trade Matthew Stafford, begin the rebuild

The Detroit Lions are in a prime position with the upcoming NFL Draft. With the third overall pick, they will probably miss out on Ohio State defensive end Chase Young, who is the best fit for a team that lacks a pass rush and is in desperate need of playmakers on defense.

But Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is the perfect selection for this team. Tua will likely have a bigger impact in the NFL than the presumed number one pick – LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. But the Lions are unlikely to even consider Tua for the draft, despite his overwhelming talent.
