By May 1 the Falcons must decide whether to exercise his fifth-year option. Given how difficult it has been for Okudah to stay healthy

It doesnt seem plausible that they would choose his proposal.

He has displayed some of the brilliance that earned him the No. 3 overall choice when he is healthy.

but the Lions are moving on since he hasn't been consistent or healthy enough to merit his draft ranking.
