Jameson_Neat Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Compensation sounds right for a guy who wasn't a lockdown CB and only flashed as a competent #2. IIRC, jefe was benched towards the end of last year. Maybe a fresh start will help him get right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Tso Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Would've liked to get a little more. It's unfortunate, but the writing was on the wall for Jefe. They must have assessed any potential comp pick they get for him is worse than the 5th they get right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scar988 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Falcons traded the first of the two picks from Calvin Ridley for him, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) I’m happy for Okudah. I think he needs a fresh start somewhere without the top 3 pick expectations. I still have hope for him to have a solid career. Lions save over $5 million guaranteed remaining on Okudah’s contract this season, giving them roughly $28 million in capspace still. They also don’t have to pay $10+million for his fifth year option.

ET80 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Seems like a low risk move for Atlanta with some upside. Okudah was in shaky ground from the beginning, then blew out his ankle - probably needs a different scheme to make it work for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFan13 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Not a bad value to give up for someone with his upside. Here he won't have to be thrown into the lions den as a starter. AJ and Casey Heyward will be doing that. Jefe will be more of the #3 or 4 guy that can try and get better while learning from 2 really good lock down type corners at times over their years. Here's to hoping he turns it around and becomes what potential he had coming out. Lord knows he was highly thought of in that draft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr A W Niloc Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Mock draft revision confirmed. On the plus side, the Lions rate to go from three CB3s to three CB1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just hasn’t stayed healthy enough to develop. When you’re the #3 overall pick, there are alot of expectations and fans drew tired of waiting on him. I hope he can put it together for you guys. He’s a classy guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that sounds like another #3 overall pick but in the 2021 draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
