Unlike in years past, the Green Bay Packers were very active on draft night. Green Bay participated in two trades on the first day. First, trading back from the 14th pick to the 27th pick. Four picks later, they traded up from the 27th pick back up to the 18th pick in the draft.
With that pick, the Packers selected Jaire Alexander, a cornerback from the University of Louisville. Alexander was one of the top two or three cornerback prospects available in the draft.
Alexander is a small cornerback at 5-foot-10, 196 pounds, but with his small size comes great quickness.
