First-rounder Jeff Okudah had a rough first season with the Detroit Lions
Back in the 2019 season, the Detroit Lions had one of the worst pass defenses in the league despite having a top tier cornerback in Darius Slay. It was an obvious hole that needed to be addressed whether it was through free agency or draft.
When the Lions traded Slay days before the draft, it was quite obvious that they were going to take cornerback Jeff Okudah out of Ohio State with their first-round selection.
