Alexander looks like a natural. He’s dialed in. Knows whats going on. Aggressive. Confident. Just plays with that eye of the tiger. I like him.

I'm high on both Brice and Jones. Evans has looked good at times also. There are some athletic dudes in the secondary now. Is this the end of Quentin Rollins?Originally posted by JustinHarrell View Post

Looks like a goon and absolutely hate bow ties more than the Vikings but pick 6 Cousins one time and I will be a fan for life.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

Tanier:
18. Green Bay Packers (via Seattle): Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville
Strengths: Speed, instincts, return value.
Weaknesses: Physicality.
Meet the new Packers!
Head coach Mike McCarthy and his Pamphlet O' Plays aren't new. There's a new offensive coordinator, but he's actually old offensive coordinator Joe Philbin.
But Ted Thompson is no longer GM! Except…he's still involved in the organization, guarding the Jedi Texts on some island in Lake Michigan or something. And the front office is run by his disciples; the ones who didn't flee to Cleveland during the power struggle, anyway.
Aaron Rodgers is still around, too, which is good news! Except he is getting a little impatient about earning some of that sweet, sweet Kirk Cousins cash. And he's still expected to take on the whole NFL with a laser sword, or something.
Wow, the new Packers are a little like the new Star Wars films: mostly predictable but unpredictable in ways that don't necessarily make them better. Maybe this draft will chart a new course for the organization. Or maybe it's just gonna keep flying until Rodgers runs out of fuel.
Case in point: The new Packers just traded up to fill a need. They ranked last in the NFL at covering No. 1 wide receivers in 2017, according to Football Outsiders. But they selected an undersized cornerback with some injury concerns.
Jaire Alexander missed a chunk of last season with a sprained knee. Opponents wouldn't go near his receivers when he was available—he allowed just five completions, according to Sports Info Solutions—and he burned a 4.38-second 40 at the combine.
Alexander was not nearly as effective in 2016, with six touchdowns allowed, most of them in the red zone. He's not a bump-and-run enforcer or mauling tackler. But mix speed, experience returning punts and good eyes in zone coverage, and the Packers are at least getting a player who can play several roles right away.
Grade: B

Gutekunst said the Packers did talk to Alexander on several occasions. Figures they all blurred together for Alexander, who said he hadn't talked to GB.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Sounds like packer people
Missed 5 games last year with 2 different knee injuries then missed a couple more with a broken hand last season
Small guys who get injured a lot are kinda scaryComment

Packer Report @PackerReport
Getting first-round pick in 2019 was in best interests of team; was confident they could move back up.
Packer Report @PackerReport
Packers have one pick on Friday and 10 on Saturday; he assumes there will be more moving around the board.

Offer from Saints for first-round pick was too good to pass up, even with James and Edmunds (who had visited) on the board.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Alexander
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.
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
70 percent at corner, 30 percent in the slot, he says of his playing time at Louisville.
Packer Report @PackerReport
Alexander mentions the secondary tradition, mentions Collins and Woodson.
