Perplexed About Alexander

Something is really off about Alexander. I just don't get how he could have been rated so low. Which is what scares me. On paper he appears at worst a 2nd round pick.

Good Frame: 6'4 270

Long Arms: 35inch

Good Motor

Athletic

Nice production: 8.5 sacks / 19 TFL / 3 FF / 1 INT / 8 pass deflections

Comparable stats to Nick Perry who went in the 1st.

Either we got a steal or really whiffed on this one.

Here is to hoping its the former!

Johnson came into the league at 270.

Not for a 4 - 3 DE. For a 3 - 4 DE yes.

270 is just right. 270 was bigger than Perry, Curry, and Jones if im not mistaken.

Coples is a freak and not the norm at 280ish.

Good to know. I was iffy on this pick to begin but, it is definitely growing on me. Second round playmaker DE in the fourth? fug Yeah!

To bad he didnt do the combine.

Would love to know how "quick" he is.

Its good to hear about the misdiagnosis and him not participating in the combine, helps explain why was being overlooked.

Although im not sure how you can be overlooked with his production last year at OU with that ideal size.

I think we got a steal... Until proven otherwise.

It is great he didn't do the combine, that way he fell to us.

Here are the proday results. Still not sure why he was projected here as a 7th rounder. I think it was because he really had only 1 great year which was his last one.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
