Jeff Okudah Fantasy

The Detroit Lions selected Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah with the third overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. It's back-to-back Ohio State picks, with defensive end Chase Young going second overall to the Redskins. The Lions traded Darius Slay to the Eagles this offseason, so Okudah will come in right away and help replace Slay in Detroit's secondary. Okudah was the top corner in this year's class. He's got great size and length and loves to play physical at the line of scrimmage. The Lions were pretty bad against the pass all of last year, even with Slay, but hopefully Okudah can solidify their secondary for years to come.

Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn is favoring Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah with the No. 3 overall pick, while head coach Matt Patricia wants Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown, according to a league source. And that's if the Lions even stay at No. 3 overall, as the Dolphins have been trying to move up in recent days to take either an offensive tackle or a quarterback. But if Detroit doesn't take a trade to move back a few spots, they're almost certainly going with a defensive prospect, as their defense could use the help at every level. If they think they can get either Okudah or Brown at No. 5, it's very possible we see them move out of No. 3.
