Watch as ESPN's Mel Kiper says, “If there are favorable medical reports on Tua, the Lions could pick him at No. 3 overall.”

Tagovailoa's health and his performance in pre-draft workouts will be two major storylines to watch as the draft approaches.

If he excels, Detroit may struggle to pass up on a quarterback that Matthew Stafford can mentor to become his successor.
