I’m surprised no one started this thread. So what’s the consensus on the 1st pick? I haven’t been keeping up with the draft so I don’t anything about Jaire Alexander. Good pick? Not so much?
I didn't watch any of the draft and only read about things this morning. I'm good with the guy they got and it's fantastic the way they fleeced the Saints. But that's a long time to wait to get another 1st rounder considering Rodgers is 35 years old. I'd rather have received a high pick this year.
Also, the Packers have spent too many high picks on secondary guys when they've needed an impact LB. Matthews isn't getting any younger. There's still need at WR, TE, and OL. They'll need to hit on some picks in the later rounds to address everything.

- Can get grabby in man coverage
The last time I recall reading about a 1st round CB the Packers took with that problem.....it was a real problem. Carroll seemed to get flagged on every play. And he was a little short of the Ron Wolf standard for CBs as well.
Still hoping for the best, but this seems a little ominous to me.
