Now, I see Alexander as upgrade to Dennard.  Alexander is a much more aggressive style of defender.  In 55 games that he's played in, Alexander has 2 INTs, 21 PDs, 9 TFL, and 8 QB hits, meaning that he's an effective blitzer.  Dennard played in 77 games, has logged 3 INTs, 22 PDs, but only 5 TFL, and 5 QB hits.

I really feel like Alexander and Von Bell will make a noticeable difference in how the Bengals cover the middle of the field and underneath routes that they have been burned on so badly the past few years.

I have to agree with the guy who quoted you a couple posts below this one. Yes they're a push in a couple areas but Kirkpatrick just plain sucked at tackling ! And that gives Waynes a pretty big edge.
