The Falcons made what appears to be a low risk/high reward trade on Tuesday afternoon, acquiring former number 3 overall draft pick Jeff Okudah from the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2023 fifth round draft pick.
Okudah was formerly the third overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, behind only Joe Burrow and Chase Young, and was the consensus best cornerback in that draft class going into it. He gets a second wind in his career in Atlanta, now.
