Pretty respectable list of players he was involved in evaluating.
Some of those were horrible picks we should have taken David DeCastro instead of Kevin Zeitler. That was a stupid trade down because then that allowed the Steelers to draft him. I wouldn't doubt that Alexander graded Zeitler higher which is why the Bengals traded down. Everyone else seemed to think DeCastro was a generational type Guard.
