Should you be concerned if Jeff Okudah doesn’t start Week 1 for the Detroit Lions?
There was a lot of pre-draft debate on whether or not the Detroit Lions should take a cornerback with the third overall pick. According to general manager Bob Quinn, the answer was ‘yes’, as they selected Jeff Okudah out of Ohio State.
Okudah was the highest-drafted cornerback since the Seattle Seahawks took Shawn Springs third overall in 1997, and only the fourth cornerback drafted top-five in the last 10 years along with Denzel Ward, Jalen Ramsey, and Patrick Peterson.
