I like the pick. He can learn a year behind Herb Waters.

I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
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).

This ** Young MAN was the LBer we needed and the Packers flat out blew it for a give a half inch 5-10 1/2 Inch 192 lb 'hot Dog' injury prone CB
I still cannot believe the stupidity of it and 'big deal' and getting a second Draft Pick in 2019 that in all likelihood will be from a Playoff bound Team, The New Orleans Saints this Season.
This Super Prospect; this MAN should be wearing the Green and Gold.
They had ** LBer Tremaine Edmunds ** with his Super Star Status and very high >7.10 GRADE in their grasp and flat out blew it !
Just really really dumb.

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.

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
