Tua Tagovailoa announced on Monday that he's leaving the University of Alabama and for the 2020 . This is great news for quarterback-needy teams -- starting with the , who have the No. 5 pick -- but questions remain about when Tagovailoa will be cleared to play. Tagovailoa suffered a fractured hip against Mi si sippi State on Nov. 12, had surgery a few days later, and is still months away from returning to the field. How many months? That's the question every will be looking to answer, and even Tagovailoa admitted Monday that he had no clear timeframe. "I'm optimistic that I'll be able to play this upcoming season, but I think for me, right now, I'm more worried about getting better as soon as po sible, seeing what I can do in the pre-draft proce s ," Tagovailoa told reporters. "It's all dependent on what the doctors have to say to the teams and what the results come back in as." But even if Tagovailoa isn't ready to suit up in 2020 -- and that seems more than reasonable given the severity of his injury -- there's plenty of value in drafting him and then having him redshirt his rookie season while he continues his recovery. There's also plenty of value in taking him with one of the top-10 selections because the upside is off the charts; remember, coming into the season, Bernie Kosar Jersey Tagovailoa was the clearcut No. 1 quarterback, and our No. 3 overall prospect behind only Jerry Jeudy and Chase Young. Two things changed: The Joe Burrow Rocket Ship blasted off and Tagovailoa was injured. So knowing what we know, and with one big unknown still to be determined, which NFL teams would be interested in Tagovailoa? Let's take a look. Miami DolphinsThis is the best-case scenario for the Dolphins, who appeared to be #TankingforTua early in Kareem Hunt Jersey the season when they were jettisoning franchise players for draft picks, and limped to an 0-7 record. The tank talk quickly subsided as the team finished with five wins in its final nine games. But the recent succe s also meant Miami had fallen out the running for Burrow with the No. 1 pick and found themselves with selections at No. 5, No. 18 (as part of the trade) and No. 27 (as part of the trade). In the seven weekly mock drafts we published after Tagovailoa's injury we had the Dolphins taking some combination of offensive linemen, pa s rushers and cornerbacks on five occasions. On two others, we had them reaching for Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, who has first-round talent but played with the consistency of a second-rounder in 2019. Now the Dolphins can take Tagovailoa No. 5 overall, and even if he's not ready to suit up in 2020, have him continue his recovery while and hold down the starter and backup roles (both are under contract in '20). Los Angeles Chargers is headed for free agency and the Chargers are in the market for their next face of the franchise. They also have the No. 6 pick, just behind the Dolphins. If they feel Tagovailoa is worth the risk there's every reason to believe they would try to trade up in front of Miami to get him. This is great news for the and , who have the third and fourth-overall selections and are set at quarterback. (We can't imagine the would trade out of the No. 2 pick if it meant not landing Chase Young.) That said, no team has more draft capital than the Dolphins, who, in addition to the three first-rounders, own two second-rounders (39th and 56th) and a third-rounder (70th), and could spend their way to the top of the draft to make sure they get Tagovailoa, if that's ultimately what they decide. This also a sumes the Chargers don't fall in love with Herbert, Ricardo Louis Jersey Jordan Love or Jacob Eason; Herbert will probably go in Round 1 based on physical traits and upside but Love and Eason should be on the board in Round 2 and the Chargers have the No. 37 pick. Jacksonville JaguarsWhat happens if the medicals on Tagovailoa leave lingering doubts about his long-term recovery? There's certainly a chance he slips down draft boards as a result, and that was a reality he seemed to understand during his pre s conference. But it also opens the doors for other QB-needy teams to take a flyer in the face of that risk. The Jags overpaid for last offseason and while was a fun story early in the 2019 season, he's best suited as a backup. Jacksonville also has the No. 9 and No. 20 picks; if Tagovailoa got past the Dolphins and Chargers, the Jags could target him. And with the team on the hook for Foles for at least one more season, there would be no rush to get Tagovailoa on the field. The Jags would also be candidates to trade up but given that coach Doug Marrone has one year to fix a lot of problems, the team might be better suited staying put and plugging as many holes as po sible. Other, le s likely, po sibilitiesLas Vegas Raiders: Jon Gruden loves big-armed quarterbacks. Tagovailoa is a lot of things, but "big-arm quarterback" is not one of them. It's also hard to imagine, at least from the vantage point of early January, that Tagovailoa would be on the board when the Raiders select at No. 12. They also have the No. 19 pick but Gruden could nab a deep-threat wide receiver like Jerry Jeudy and circle back for Herbert Denzel Ward Jersey or Love later in Round 1, or even target a pa s rusher. Indianapolis Colts: The Colts have under contract for one more season, and while general manager Chris Ballard said last week that, "Right now, yes, Jacoby is our starter," he also had this qualification: "The jury's still out. That's why we did the short-term deal with Jacoby, to have the security of a player we liked and to find Seth DeValve Jersey out if he can be the guy." So even if Bri sett is "the guy," having a Plan B would make sense. But the Colts aren't on the clock until the 13th selection and if Tagovailoa is still available there would be a glaring reason. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: set a career high with 33 touchdown pa ses this season. He also also blew the doors off his previous interception total, to sing 30 (including a pick-six on his final pa s of 2019), 12 more than his previous mark. That said, it sure seems like coach Bruce Arians wants to move forward with Winston in 2020, even though the quarterback isn't yet under contract. Tagovailoa feels like a long shot, in part because of the Arians-Winston dynamic, but also because the Bucs have the 14th pick. New England Patriots: isn't under contract. He's also 42 years old and coming off one of the worst statistical seasons of his career. Nick Saban and Bill Belichick are also longtime friends, and the Pats have a history of drafting Alabama players. It would take for New England to find its way into the top 10, but if Tagovailoa slides to the middle of Round 1, this feels like a distinct po sibility. Of course, this all changes if Brady is re-signed -- or becomes a bigger pre-draft talking point if Brady ends up elsewhere. New Orleans Saints: Like the Patriots, the Saints have a 40-year-old quarterback in who has one more yea
