NFL Draft preview

The one major sport that is making news is football and thankfully it is, we need distractions.  The NFL draft will be held April 23rd-25th in las Vegas, in some format but at least we can argue over who gets picked where and by whom.  There is some talent on both the offensive and defensive line in this draft but no real name talent outside of, the three quarterbacks and edge pass rusher in the top 4.  Will Joe Burrow the senior quarterback from LSU be taken No. 1 by the Cincinnati Bengals, who are ready to move on from Andy Dalton or will they be swayed to trade the pick since I think Cincinnati needs more than just a quarterback.  Will the Washington Redskins who have been searching for a quarterback take Tua Tagovaiola after recovery from dislocating his hip, and may have a hard time staying healthy after multiple injuries, including his ankle during his career at Alabama.  Tua is also left handed which throws another interesting wrinkle into his draft status because you build your o-line from the blind side guard out.  If those are the first two players taken off the board, the Los Angeles Chargers who have the fourth pick and could take Justin Herbert, who I consider the most complete player in the draft, and the No. 1 quarterback.  The New York Giants whose biggest need is a pass rusher, hopefully they got the quarterback last year.  If Chase Young from Ohio State is still on the board I would take him, I don't think he an NFL ready product but he fills a need and he's teachable.  The Miami Dolphins have an interesting decision to make at no. 5, will they, who are probably closer to win now mode and have had an eye on Tua since day one trade up for him.  Three other interesting teams of note at the draft will be the Detroit Lions who are right on the cusp of winning but never have enough, do the New England Patriots draft a replacement for Tom Brady who signed with Tampa Bay and the Las Vegas Raiders who are moving into a new home and always like to make a splash.  The NFL draft will be interesting to say the least, will we have trades or will it just be a distraction.
