St Vince Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 People here wanted the Honey Badger who's 5'9 and he's been pretty good in this league. I think this kid is comparable to Mathieu with ball skills, speed and return ability. We got a bigger Honey Badger. The Packers desperately wanted a boundary CB, they tried to poach Fuller who's not much taller. Don't know if James can play the boundary as affective as this kid. I'm ecstatic we landed this kid along with a future 1st. Can't see how anyone could be disappointed with the outcome last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 From former Packer DB Matt Bowen: "Alexander can improve his technique. And that comes with reps. But I really like his coverage ability. Press-man. 4.3 speed. Competes, too. Good fit for Pettine’s defense in Green Bay. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redt Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Love the pick, all the prerequisite CB skills and he does not shy away from contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The height is the only thing I don't like about Alexander. I've had a really good feeling about him from what I've read as well, but was more interested in Minkah and Derwin. However, Alexander's basically a quicker, bigger, and stronger version of Denzel Ward IMHO. I hope he stays healthy and I can't wait to see him on the field.

MacReady Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm not at all concerned about his size. I feel like if a team has size up front, don't really need it too much out of your corners. He might struggle against taller receivers, but we've got Kevin King for that. Really no reason at all that I can see to be disappointed with Alexander. I feel happier with him than any first pick we've had since Clinton-Dix, and other than Clinton-Dix, the only pick I was happier with was Clay Matthews. Alexander is young, fast, aggressive... Everything I want out of a defensive first pick. Does anybody have an interview from him after he was drafted? I'd love a link if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the physicality to eliminate the taller receiver unless it's a jump ball situation and I would even question that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 If King and Alexander both play up to their potential, you have two legit #1 type CB and can play the matchup game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denzel is taller, timed faster in both the 40 and the 10 split. Denzel also beat him in the vert & broad. Jaire is probably stronger though.
