Here's hoping that the Lions don't take Tagovailoa, he's going to be a dry hole. With the trade of Darius Slay, the Lions have telegraphed that theyll use their number three pick on CB Jeff Okudah.
BTW, the YT vids that turn up for NFL draft are mostly dopey bloggers with grandiose theme 'music' that goes on too long. And the music does too.

Bengals could take Justin Herbert instead of Joe Burrow, and it would probably be a good idea. In the longer term, Burrow is one of those decent talents, like Tom Brady, who does the needed homework (again, like Tom Brady). Herbert's strong, and tougher, which is what the Bengals need now. That said, it's unlikely the Bengals will take anyone but Burrow, and if he survives, he should have a good third or fourth NFL season -- but maybe with New England by then.

[ https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/how-many-nfl-teams-have-not-won-super-bowl/iyue76akk2x1mtcsekjayzg8 ] Four NFL teams — the Browns , Lions , Jaguars , and Texans — have never appeared in the Super Bowl. The Lions and Browns both won championships prior to the NFL merger in 1966. Jacksonville and Houston have only been around since 1995 and 2002, respectively, and are the league’s two newest expansion teams.

Tagovailoa was drafted by the Dolphins. I hope he stays healthy, but I don't think he will be. They may get a couple of years out of him, but I think he'll wind up a money pit.
