Jaire Alexander declaring is a major shocker IMO. He had an injury plagued season and I think would've benefited if he returned. Hopefully he's healthy by the time the combine comes around, would LOVE to see him in Red and Gold!!!

He's a baller and I expect him to go in the 2nd round. He has a shot to go in the first, but I'm hoping his injury drops him a bit. He's a playmaker all the way and would be a fantastic #2 corner

He would immediately be our #1

This. If he's there in the 2nd I would pull the trigger EASILY. Problem for us is that our 2nd is near or at the bottom depending where the Saints finish

I'm happy with this approach, but I hope you weren't one of the Baalke bashers!

Funny how so many want us to pick injures players, but slated our GM for doing the same!

Might have to trade up to 30-32 and secure him.. Get a 5th year option as well. Worked great last year with Reuben

Taking a chance on a injured player every once in a while is OK by my book. But when you have a track record like Baalke and pick an injured player when your team is struggling or have other needs is another. Jaire Alexander doesn't have a ACL injury so that's a major plus.

Richie James, WR, Middle Tennessee
Height: 5-9. Weight: 180.
Projected 40 Time: 4.54.
Projected Round (2018): 6-FA.
Talk about selling low on your draft stock. Richie James had two very productive seasons at Middle Tennessee State, but was injured throughout 2017. He needed to return to school to prove that he can stay healthy. Now, he's in danger of going undrafted. This was an absolutely horrific decision on his part.

Grade for declaring: F

Covered @TheKekeCoutee while he played for @Lufkinfootball. It's been awesome to watch him tear up defenses the last three years for @TexasTechFB! Now he's headed to the NFL! #bEASTtexas pic.twitter.com/3rNdWEyWvU

Updated list, 32 officially, Denzel Ward unofficially, as he is sitting out the Sugar Bowl to avoid injury.

Rangy #Iowa CB Josh Jackson is leaving early to enter the NFL draft. He was one of the best defensive players I saw this season.

I absolutely love this kid. Wouldn't be against drafting him with our first pick.
