Packer Report @PackerReport
This was who they targeted all along. Team captain, competitor, twitchy, really good ball skills. Inside and outside. Punt returner. Jon Eric Sullivan says from the podium.

#Packers get Louisville CB Jaire Alexander at No. 18. He's 5-10 1/4, 192 pounds. Ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash at the Combine. Get help at their most glaring position of need. Maybe #Gutey knows what he's doing.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Don't know anything about him, but the thing that jumps out is the height after 6'3" Kevin King
I've read that.s the way Pettine likes it. One big corner and one smaller speed guy.Originally Posted by call_me_ishmael

Interesting
So given the secondary guys they brought into GB and the fact that they did not bring in Jaire, seems like Gutey is stealth like Ted to some degree.

Ted showed nothing. Gutey uses misdirection. I like it.
I like the pick. He can learn a year behind Herb Waters.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
After reflecting for a night, I hate the pick. Taking Derwin James right where we were at 14 was the move I wanted. I think we may live to regret it. I hope I'm wrong.

Beat guys are all guessing that the Pack had Edmunds, Ward, Alexander and James all with Round 1 grades at positions of need.
Its possible all of us are getting our Edmunds confused, but I think one of them is a DB.
Anyway, I think its more likely they wanted coverage rather than a strong safety. They have Jones and even if James is a better talent, they needed coverage both outside and inside and Alexander fits that bill better than James.
I would love to hear if those short shuttle and 3cone times scared anyone though (off James).

Wait, you don't know? Pittsburgh took the DB and the Bills took Tremaine, the 19 year old beast of a LB at #16... The LB is the guy the Packers could have taken. It's tempting. That kid could just be awesome.

I was getting them confused all night. I knew the higher rated guy was the LB, but I didn't know his first name, so if the name popped up alone I could not have told you which was which.

HOFer
It had to. One of the stranger results at Pro Days that I can remember. Since Thompson took over, the Packers have only drafted one safety with a worse shuttle (Jerron McMillian) and have never drafted a safety with a worse 3-cone. To put it in perspective, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (who was on the lower end of measurables amongst the safeties the Packers have drafted) had 4.16 shuttle and 7.16 3-cone. James tested at 4.34 shuttle and 7.34 3-cone, and it was at his Pro Day instead of the Combine. Pro Days results are generally better than Combine results - which is why teams don't always trust the Pro Day results. I agree with Nutz though, James was draftable at #14 or #18 because of his tape. I'm good with how it worked out.
"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson
James can cover the slot, but he doesn't have Alexander's skill in coverage, but when Dix and Jones whiff on tackles or can't keep ball carriers in front of them you know the Packers done fucked up
I just watched some highlights.... and I know it’s highlights, but mother fucker looks hyper alert and aware of what’s going on. He looks smart and aggressive!
Just at a glance, I like the pick a lot.
Sam Shields was 5' 10.75". Alexander is half inch shorter.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
He has long arms too. I’m gonna think of him as 5’11” because of that. And that’s just tall enough.

Packer Report @PackerReport
He can play in the slot, Sullivan says. "Absolutely" a playmaker.
Packer Report @PackerReport
Sullivan: "The kid can run. Has makeup to be a high-caliber player. Tough, voted team captain.
Packer Report @PackerReport
Sullivan feels good about cornerback group. King looks good after shoulder surgery. Williams is a leader. Ditto House. Alexander will have to compete.
Packer Report @PackerReport
Alexander says he had no contact with Packers predraft.
Packer Report @PackerReport
Alexander mentions the secondary tradition, mentions Collins and Woodson.
Packer Report @PackerReport
70 percent at corner, 30 percent in the slot, he says of his playing time at Louisville.
Packer Report @PackerReport
Says he gave up only five completions last season. That's five catches in six games, if you're doing the math.
Packer Report @PackerReport
"I was pretty shocked," Alexander said when his phone rang. But also aware that GB had traded up and thought the might be picked.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Desperately needed pick.
House & Travon Williams might be over the hill. Need some juice back there.
Fuck it. New defense. Everyone starting from scratch. I hope we start king and alexander on day 1.
I am sure both of them will get 75% of all the snaps unless injury occurs
