The Falcons have aggressively attacked this offseason now that the team is flush with cap space. Among the big moves like signing Jessie Bates, somehow locking down Calais Campbell, along with other potential impact signings like David Onyemata and Bud Dupree, was a notable trade due to the player’s draft pedigree: former third-overall pick Jeff Okudah.
One of two trade targets so far this offseason after Jonnu Smith, Okudah differs from the tight end in that he just turned 24 and is still on his rookie deal. Secured for only a 5th round pick, how did Atlanta land the top corner in the draft that also included Atlanta’s own AJ Terrell?
