Dan: Alexander is the top cover corner in this year’s draft and would help improve the 31st-ranked pass defense in the NFL. It’s a bit of an understatement to say the Saints have been atrocious defending the pass the past few years, and with quarterbacks like Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, and Jameis Winston in the division, New Orleans could use a true shutdown corner.
