Wouldn't it have been better to go for someone who can rush the passer, a truly impact WR, or a LB who can actually cover TEs.
Or maybe even a center???
I assume Alexander forced the issue which is further proof that he needs to be retired.
When they drafted him they were looking at the future. A 1st round talent..even top 10 before his last year in college. Whit only has so many years left. I believe the thought was for him to be Whit's replacement and could still be. I had no problem with the pick, I had a problem with picking Fisher with the next pick. The problem is now that if he comes in next year and is a beast and Whit re-signs then what do you do? To me he is obviously a LT not an RT, not enough bulk for that side. So now you have a player going into his 3rd year with little experience and the next year a contract year at LT monies for his option. Boy, this sounds a lot like DreK doesn't it?
