Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins

This only makes sense under certain circumstances. It assumes Miami can complete a deal for Houston’s Deshaun Watson, and that Tua Tagovailoa is not part of that deal. Were that to happen, the Washington Football Team and Miami might be well-positioned for this deal. A lot of fans wanted Washington to take a chance on Tua at No. 2 in last year’s draft.

Trading a QB one year after selecting him the first-round depreciates his value significantly. I assume Miami would ask for Washington’s first-rounder. I’d offer the higher of the two thirds. And then I’d settle on giving up this year’s second-rounder to get both Tagovailoa brothers playing QB in the state of Maryland.
