Dolphins Went All-in Scouting Tua Tagovailoa During Alabama-LSU Game
By Michael Luciano
The Miami Dolphins have bade no bones about their desire to land Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the upcoming NFL draft, and they sent just about their entire scouting department to analyze every part of No. 13's performance against LSU.
While half of the NFL had at least one rep on hand to watch this game, the Dolphins sent three, including GM Chris Grier.

Ravens
Bills (2)
Bengals
Browns
Broncos
Lions
Jaguars
Chargers
Rams
Dolphins (3!)
Raiders
Eagles
Steelers
49ers (2)
Seahawks (2)
Redskins (2)
While half of the players in this game are going to be high draft picks, and Miami has five picks in the first two rounds, it's no secret who those three had their eyes on.
While Tagovailoa lit up the stat sheet and made some big-time throws, there is a chance that Miami might have decided that Tua isn't the guy for them after last night.
Dolphins were well represented at Saturday's showdown between LSU and Alabama in Tuscaloosa, sending GM Chris Grier and two of his scouts to watch the game in person.https://t.co/9YwaUvLg3M

While Tagovailoa had over 400 yards passing and four touchdowns, he turned the ball over twice. Joe Burrow, meanwhile, went 31-39 for 393 yards and three touchdowns while adding 64 yards on the ground in a 46-41 win.
Coach O says Joe Burrow is one of the best LSU's ever had after big time win over No. 3 Bama.

The #TankforTua movement might be dead after last night. #BlowforBurrow could be gaining some steam after his historic performance in Tuscaloosa.
