Cowherd: Lions Need to Consider Drafting Tagovailoa

National radio host Colin Cowherd says Lions should draft QB Tua Tagovailoa

Fox Sports Radio host Colin Cowherd believes the Lions need to consider drafting former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 3 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft. 

Cowherd expressed today on his national radio show that Detroit should look to put franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford on the market and see what kind of draft pick haul can be obtained. 

His opinion stems from the fact that after 11 years, the Lions have failed to have any type of playoff success with Stafford under center.

"For bad teams, you are trying to draft somebody that changes your future. Detroit's a bad franchise. Detroit's bad and boring," Cowherd said. 

He added, "If I ran that franchise or owned it, I keep reading all these mock drafts. They are going to take this cornerback out of Ohio State (Jeff Okudah). Boy, that's a game-changer. That will get them from fourth -- in the division -- to third. Go draft a quarterback. Nothing against Matt Stafford. Put him on the market, and see what you can get. Eleven years, I don't have a division title. What's the loyalty?"
