When the Packers traded with the Saints in 2018 and received a 2019 First Round Pick, I wasn't expecting much of the 2018 first round pick at the 27th selection.
Original Trade

Saints receive:
» 2018 first-round pick (No. 14) -- Marcus Davenport, DE, Texas-San Antonio
Packers receive:
» 2018 first-round pick (No. 27) -- traded to Seahawks
» 2018 fifth-round pick (No. 147) -- traded to Panthers
» 2019 first-round pick
Then the Saints took a guy I saw lots of pundits saying the Packers would select, DE Marcus Davenport. And then the Packers made another trade.

Packers receive:
» 2018 first-round pick (No. 18) -- Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville
» 2018 seventh-round pick (No. 248) -- Kendall Donnerson, LB, Southeast Missouri
Seahawks receive:
» 2018 first-round pick (No. 27) -- Rashaad Penny, RB, San Diego State
» 2018 third-round pick (No. 76) -- traded to Pittsburgh
» 2018 sixth-round pick (No. 186) -- Jacob Martin, DE, Temple
When Packers selected CB Jaire Alexander, I didn't know much about him. Transparency, I knew little to nothing about any collegiate athlete. I must say when reading about best CB's in the league and seeing a Green Bay Packers player who they drafted and groomed is quite cool. I'm glad they picked up the 5th year option on him (no brainer) and hope they can figure out how to re-sign him during 2022.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm happy with the Jaire Alexander pick.
