A deal we should’ve been in on. I worry about Cb pretty badly.

Dude is going to want to be paid soon and I'm not so sure he is worth a big contract based on his first three years.

Damn, I would've 100% sent a fifth for Okudah. Would take CB off the table in the draft too opening up EDGE, WR, TE, G with our first four picks. 

Plus, he's in the division which blows.

We've got quite a lot invested in the secondary already not sure how much more we can risk. 1st round top ten pick another on a significant contract coming off an achilles tear another we traded a 3rd for. Not much wiggle room.

Did yall know that Okudah was benched later in the season? He has not lived up to expectations so the Lions gave him up for pennies on the dollar. Like CJ Henderson, there's a reason that the team that drafted him so high was ready to cut him loose.

He was going to be cut. He's a colossal bust.

Okudah was horrible. Falcons fans celebrating this move is comical. CJ Henderson is better, which is pretty telling.

idk....it seemed like the light bulb finally turned on after the midway mark last year. Drafted at 21 by a different regime, lost a year to injury as well. 

Not saying he's the second coming of Revis, but for a fifth...yeah, I'm seeing what he's got as a CB2. Horn on one side and Evero and DeAngelo working with him at 24 years old.

Yep. Let's see those numbers first.

"It comes a week after Okudah was benched for poor performance in the Lions’ loss to the Panthers. "

Didn't Darnold play that game?

Fair point. 

I still think he's got upside and needed to be in a different location, but yeah, getting benched is pretty rough.
