Tua Tagovailoa has a suspect arm, suspect durability, and suspect pocket play at this stage of his career...The best primary receivers run a diverse route tree at the highest level and have hyper-accurate passers. London has neither in his quiver to the degree that makes him worth his current value.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

London's skill set doesn't match Stefanski's scheme or Tagovailoa's limitations; safer options exist.

Matt Waldman cautions that Drake London lacks the tools to justify his current draft value. Tua Tagovailoa has a suspect arm, suspect durability, and suspect pocket play. Kevin Stefanski will employ more two and three tight-end sets, forcing London outside more often rather than in his best big-slot role. While London can win contested catches with his size, the modern NFL demands diverse route trees and hyper-accurate passers—neither of which London possesses to the degree required. Waldman identifies much safer, higher-upside options at receiver and running back at the same price or later.
