Well Okudah is contributing after getting hurt last season and ya Justin Herbert would look good under center pretty much anywhere.Plenty of teams could have moved up.But you,I or anyone else saw him coming into his own like that
Glad to see Okudah has been playing really good, and I think he can be a very good NFL CB, but my stance on Okudah is same now as it was then. DUMB pick at #3 overall. Tua or Herbert were there for the taking, should've done that. With the astronomical #'s these QB's are getting these days, key to building a perennial winner imo- gotta get that top tier QB on a cheap rookie deal.
Okudah at #3 overall was a big-time reach imo. While Okudah had a great junior year, he was never
THAT DUDE in college. You flat out just
DO NOT take a CB that high unless he's Patrick Peterson, Jalen Ramsey, Champ Bailey, or Charles Woodson type prospect who was flat out otherworldly. Okudah was
nowhere near those guys as a college player or prospect imo.
That was my same gripe for them taking Hockenson at #8 overall.
YOU DON'T take a TE that high period end of story unless you know for sure you're getting the next Rob Gronkowski otherwise it's a blown wasted pick.
Lions are a legit contender for the next 3-5 years
right now had they taken Rashan Gary or Jeffrey Simmons instead of Hockenson at #8 and if they take Tua or Herbert at #3 instead of Okudah.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS take the QB over the CB unless that CB is the next Bailey/Woodson and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS take a DL over a TE and don't even think about it for a second unless that TE is the next Gronk.
