Saw an interesting graph yesterday - 2020 CB prospects, yards per target vs completion percentage allowed. Low and left is better.
Okudah is leading the pack down there on the bottom left. Henderson is hanging out at the far top right.
That's one reason I think this "Hendo is as good as Okudah" thing is a load of bull. Okudah is an absolutely bulletproof CB prospect with no holes in his game. Elite coverage numbers, zero penalties in 2019, played in an NFL style system, ideal build, 99th percentile athleticism, great technique, plays the run, RKG off the field... any attempt to criticize him feels like nitpicking. He's Jalen Ramsey if Jalen Ramsey wasn't a dick and I absolutely see Okudah as one of the top 3 corners to come out of college in the last decade.
And if the Rams were willing to pay (overpay IMO) two first rounders for 1 1/2 cheap years of Ramsey, think of how valuable 5 cheap years of Okudah will be.
Henderson really downshifted his game in 2019. He played like a stud in 2018, but this year, his entire mission seemed to be to coast off his athleticism and avoid injury. His athleticism alone warrants a top 15 pick, but I am really scared of a guy who has turned it off like that. That's a MAJOR question I have with him, while I have zero w/ Okudah.
