The Detroit Lions traded away their former third overall pick Tuesday, sending cornerback Jeff Okudah to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a fifth-round pick. The move came a little bit as a surprise, but not entirely out of left field. Okudah was selected under the previous regime, and the Lions brought in several defensive backs such as Cameron Sutton, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and Emmanuel Moseley via free agency. He had struggled to develop due to several injury-shortened offseasons, and ultimately it was time for a fresh start.
