The Minnesota Vikings traded for another first-round pick, landing the No. 23 pick in the NFL Draft from the Houston Texans. With two first-round picks, the Vikings have an opportunity to trade up and draft a quarterback they believe in. However, there’s also a scenario where they trade those picks for a proven quarterback, such as Tua Tagovailoa from the Miami Dolphins.
Nick Wright in an episode of “First Things First” urged the Vikings to trade those picks to the Dolphins, landing them Tagovailoa.
“If I were advising the Dolphins, I would tell them, ‘Hey, you know how Minnesota acquired an extra first-round pick?’ They have the 11th and the 23
For the Dolphins, getting first-round picks could intrigue them, but given the scenario they’re in and being a team that has a chance to compete for a Super Bowl as currently constructed, trading Tagovailoa might not make much sense.
Dolphins Urged to Trade Tagovailoa
The Miami Dolphins trading Tagovailoa was an idea that Joel Klatt suggested. He suggested the Dolphins trade Tagovailoa, allowing them to draft Michael Penix Jr. out of Washington.
These comments came on an episode of “The Joel Klatt Show” on March 21.
“We waited a long time because I’ve wanted to do this. I did it in my first mock and I’m going to do it again here. And I’ve just been waiting and waiting and waiting on the Tua contract news… Tua does not have a deal and to me, that’s telling. The way I view Tua in Mike McDaniel’s offense is that it’s not the right offense for him.”
He believes that Penix would be a better fit for them and the offense they run.
