YouTube TV here, so I'm stuck with ESPN instead of NFL Network.

They've already put Michael Irvin on at least once. I'm noticeably dumber for having seen this.

Last season, Matt Stafford's back was dangerously questionable.  I would not bank the next few years on him. The Lions should grow a pair of balls and Pick Tua. But I don't have much faith in anything the Lions do.....  I guess whomever they pick,  the Lions will still suck.

TUA, TUA, TUA, TUA, TUA. However, the team that has one playoff win since 1957 will take a hard pass. 

Also, Fremont Dark Star 2018.

i'd pass on tua, too.  injuries in general and hip injury in particular that is a potential career ending type. played in a system that let him throw slants to 5 stars.  good article here the other day on how the OC at bama had to eat some of this playbook b/c tua wasn't able to do the reads (IIRC).

I've seen Tua make many more throws than just slants.  Dude is a baller.  Didn't read the aforementioned article but on the surface I don't buy it.  Maybe they scrapped it because they didn't need it.  He's got all the tools and his injuries, if one wanted, could be chalked up to some terrible luck - and not insinuate he's fragile.
