2020 NFL Draft Week - Monday Rumors (There has been some talk lately of Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah having the possibility to slide from the top half to the bottom half of the top 10. That definitely is possible because the Detroit Lions are the only landing spot for Okudah to potentially go as a top-five pick. If the Lions pass on him or trade down, Okudah will go a little later than expected. A rough combine performance dinged Okudah's draft stock, plus he showed some stiffness that did not sit well with teams. Still, they all like his tape, so the combine was not a huge negative. Some defensive back coaches and teams like Florida cornerback C.J. Henderson more, feeling he is a more fluid athlete with a rare combination of size and speed to run the route and prevent separation. Henderson's personality, however, is not helping him, as he is known to be very quiet and not an engaging teammate. Thus, one would think that Okudah would have an edge in the makeup consideration, but team sources say there is not a big difference in that regard. Some teams have some minor maturity concerns with Okudah as well. But just to be clear, sources said they are very minor. Okudah is a lock for the top 10, but the odds of him going in the top five are not as strong as the consensus thought was a few weeks ago. There has been a lot of media speculation that the Lions could take Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. As we reported at the combine, Detroit was unlikely to do that and was looking to build around Matthew Stafford to try and make a run at the playoffs next season. That being said, don't be surprised if Detroit drafts a quarterback on Day 2 or in the mid-rounds to upgrade their backup talent. Sources say the Lions have a player in mind, and during the free agency trade market, the team was saying it wasn't interested in trading for a veteran because the organization had someone in mind already. If that prospect gets to the right spot in the 2020 NFL Draft, Detroit could pull the trigger on a draftee. They view this player as not only giving them a better backup in case Stafford gets injured again, but also a player with the potential to be starter. Some quarterbacks who sound like they are in play include Washington's Jacob Eason, Georgia's Jake Fromm, Florida International's James Morgan and Oregon State's Jake Luton.): https://walterfootball.com/nflhotpress/article/2020-NFL-Draft-Week---Monday-Rumors
