There’s no secret that the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles are targeting nickel cornerbacks to upgrade the position after Patrick Robinson’s departure. It’s also no secret that I am a big believer in Louisville cornerback Jaire Alexander, who I believe would immediately upgrade the position over any of the current options on the roster.
Alexander is a top 10 player on my big board, a player that I mocked to the Eagles in my recent Mock Draft Battle with Benjamin Solak, and fits the height/weight/speed profile of what the Eagles have been looking for in the pre-draft process.
