The thought of this possibility bothers me, but I just thought I would share it. Detroit just traded Darius Slay to Philadelphia, which leaves a hole at CB. Miami wants a franchise QB. The Chargers want a franchise QB. Detroit will no draft a QB because they have Stafford. I see a scenario where Miami gives up Xavien Howard along with their No. 5 pick to swap spots with Detroit to secure Tua Tagovailoa . Keep in mind, the Chargers currently own the 6th pick. Personally, I don't want Xavien going anywhere.
Could Xavien Be On His Way To Detroit?

Nah they will take Okudah IMO. Don't blink, stay on target.
The thought bothers all of us, that’s why we’re trying not to think and talk about it.
X is worth more on the field than the 18th pick in the draft by comparison, especially since you just created somewhat of a team identity with a pair of lockdown corners.
The injuries are another angle. Again, I try not to think about it because I can’t control it. You can expect the I told you so crowd to slam the team if he gets hurt for not trading him.
I wish those people would identify themselves now since they possess crystal balls. I promise I’ll sing your praises later if you go on record now.

I agree. Okudah has a higher upside than X and he will be a lot less expensive over the next 4 years.

X is worth two first round draft picks. Didn't Jalen Ramsey go for that?
The problem there is the Chargers have the 6th pick.

They looked like strong hands.
You’re overvaluing X and undervaluing 3.
Possibly, yet to be proven as are all rooks

What are they going to do trade Bosa and the 6th pick to get to 3?

If we move up at all, I hope we wait until after Cincinnati makes it's pick. Any team willing to jump ahead of us to 3 is probably willing to jump ahead of us to 2. I don't want the FO to spend the capital to move up to 3 only to get leapfrogged before they pick.

I’m not overvaluing X I know what he is. A number 1 CB that’s going to miss a few games a year. I’m not trading that and number 5 for a more talented Sam Bradford.
I don't think X is worth 2 1st round picks like Ramsey, however, given that X is already under contract and Ramsey wasn't, X is definitely worth a 1st. I don't think #3 is worth X & #5. However, X & 26 or x & 18 plus getting back another pick might work for me.

I think NFL teams value X a lot lower than us Dolphins fans do. He has a history of missing significant time due to reoccurring knee injuries. His play is very inconsistent when he isn’t 100% healthy. He is on year 2 of a monster 6 year contract. We might end up trading him to the Lions, but I see him having a late 1st-2nd round pick value right now best case scenario (if he played 16 games at a pro bowl level last year it would be a different case). Given how the NFL has handled domestic violence cases in the past there is also a chance he gets a short suspension next year as well.
