Grading all 32 first-round picks after Week 7 of the 2020 NFL season (PICK NO. 3: CB JEFFREY OKUDAH, DETROIT LIONS
2020 overall grade: 39.0 - Jeffrey Okudah’s gauntlet of coverage assignments continued this week, as he had to deal with the Atlanta Falcons' array of receiving weapons. Okudah saw a little of several receivers, with Detroit’s more diverse coverages over recent weeks sparing him from just playing man coverage every snap against a receiver with the class and experience to eat his lunch. Okudah allowed five catches for 51 yards from nine targets this week but also had a pass interference penalty on a deep shot to Calvin Ridley that was saved from his coverage stats. Overall, Okudah’s rookie season so far has been a tough run, but his assignments have been brutal.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-grading-all-32-first-round-picks-after-week-7-2020-nfl-season
NFL Week 8 Coach Hot Seat Rankings 2020: Adam Gase clearly at the top, Matt Patricia making strides (3. Matt Patricia - Lions
Well played, sir.: The current two-game win streak, capped by an impressive come-from-behind victory over the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Week 7, definitely buys Patricia some much needed slack in the rope. That said, having dropped three of their first four games entering a season wherein Patricia was viewed as a hot seat candidate, his recent round of success doesn't absolve him of all of his sins -- which is why he's on this list, albeit in a much more chilled capacity than Gase and Marrone. When the Detroit Lions hired Patricia as their head coach in 2018, they did so under the guise of him having been born of the Bill Belichick tree of coaching. Well, two years in, there's nothing Belichickian about his reign quite yet. As a matter of fact, it's been the opposite, as the Lions moved in the wrong direction the past couple of years. They went an uninspiring 6-10 in Year 1 under Patricia and then finished 2019 with a 3-12-1 mark. Granted, they were without Matthew Stafford for eight games, but they were 3-4-1 with their franchise QB on the field. And that record was despite Stafford having thrown for 2,499 yards along with 19 touchdowns to only five interceptions in those eight starts. In other words, the QB is not and has not been the issue, which leaves the bullseye on the front office and coaching, but the former isn't going to fire themselves. Patricia is going to have to really show something in the second half of 2020 for Lions fans to fully buy in, because many of them are still undecided. The good news is Stafford looks back to full health and there's no shortage of offensive weapons surrounding him, with future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson joining the fold as well this year. That puts a bullseye on the defense, a unit that needs to start shutting down opponents. Allowing an average of more than 26 points per game in 2019, and 27.5 points per game thus far in 2020, doesn't look good for a coach who hangs his hat on defense -- and one who's been a defensive coordinator before heading to Michigan. Fix that and the Lions will be cooking with Crisco, and Patricia will finally end talk of a future without him in Detroit.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-8-coach-hot-seat-rankings-2020-adam-gase-clearly-at-the-top-matt-patricia-making-strides/
