Mike Freeman's 10-Point Stance: Tua, Chase Have Teams Ready to Move in NFL Draft

INDIANAPOLIS — Tua Tagovailoa may be a whole lot better than a QB consolation prize on draft day, Chase Young has teams on the chase, and a wide receiver could be the steal of Round 1. No runner-upIt's generally a given that most teams believe LSU's Joe Burrow is the most NFL-ready quarterback in the draft. Second on that supposed scale of readiness is Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.However, some teams have Tagovailoa (pronounced "Tag-o-vai-bad-ass") neck-and-neck with Burrow."If he hadn't been hurt, we'd be talking about them the way we did Luck and RG3," one NFC coach said, referring to the 2012 draft debate that had the league split over whether Andrew Luck would be a better quarterback than Robert Griffin III. Chasing YoungWhile QBs always have teams trying to move on draft day, another situation to watch closely this year is the race to maneuver for Ohio State pass-rusher Chase Young.Some of the accolades he's received from NFL teams have been stunning. 9. Pay the manIt's amazing how remarkably smart people can make the remarkably stupid suggestion that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott should take less money in a new contract to stay with the team than more elsewhere. The theory is that if he takes less, more money could be used to keep other players.Besides the fact that NFL owners maximize their profits, as do coaches and everyone else in and around the sport, making the most money that you can is extremely American.Former Cowboys safety Darren Woodson explained how offensive the notion is that Prescott should be shortchanged to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram."It's a slap in the face for people to say he should take less," Woodson said. Why should Dak be the guy to take less money?"Team officials from around the league tell me they don't believe Prescott and the Cowboys are close to a new deal and that Prescott will be franchise-tagged.
