Carolina Panthers Draft Frank Alexander De

Dude definitely has a relentless drive! Hands up every pass and steady driving. In the Reiff vs OU highlights you can see he was double teamed quite a bit! He made the TE look stupid the few times they matched up. I'm liking this pick alot and Hardy has some serious competition.

This guy looks like someone who can come in and work into the rotation right away. He is a very good pickup at this point. Anyone who has been asking for a pass rush just got one in Alexander. He may end up being a great pick down the road. He may need to work on his run defense but for a situational pass rusher he seems excellent value for what we gave up.

On the surface I do not like he traded a 3rd and on the surface he did not upgrade the position.

Good thing there's also stuff below the surface. Hopefully Frank has some good stuff and we'll look back and consider this pick a steal.

    • I mentioned this in another thread but i'll restate it here. Keeping a wait and watch approach and passing on the 5th year option kinda makes sense like obliquely, but in practice neither the team or the player wants it. The player doesn't want to risk injury when he could have at least another year locked up, and the team doesn't want to risk the player blowing up in their fourth year and holding the team over the barrel. If you're the QB and you're playing that well you obviously test the free agent market, and you'd probably be bitter about it as well.  modern first round qb contracts are essentially 3 year deals with the option of an additional 2 to put downward pressure on contract extensions. You either pick up the 5th year, extend with a new contract, or move on.  just sitting tight on the fourth year isn't a practical choice for any of the parties. 
    • The point was Miles Sanders wasn't just a guy in Philly. He was at least as good as Chuba has been in Carolina. 
    • I have not been impressed with our pass blocking since at least 2022. Still remember watching Darnold live against the Seahawks when we were dominating them in the run game and we still allowed far too much pressure on him regardless. It has not gotten much better since. In fairness to this year's unit, they have been hit by injuries. Oftentimes, even a mediocre overall unit is better than a stacked one if the former stays healthy throughout the entire season. Constant shuffling only means a much greater likelihood someone will blow their assignment and that's all it takes for a sack or worse.
