2018 Packers First Round Pick Jaire Alexander

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.

Don't know anything about him, but the thing that jumps out is the height after 6'3" Kevin King

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

[RashanGary]

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.

[pbmax]

Sam Shields was 5' 10.75". Alexander is half inch shorter.

I've read that.s the way Pettine likes it. One big corner and one smaller speed guy.

[RashanGary]

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.

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.

There were always hints. But you had to dig or follow him around the Senior Bowl.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Desperately needed pick.

House & Travon Williams might be over the hill. Need some juice back there.

[RashanGary]

Fuck it. New defense. Everyone starting from scratch. I hope we start king and alexander on day 1.

[Deputy Nutz]

I am sure both of them will get 75% of all the snaps unless injury occurs
