Jaire Alexander to the Packers after trade with Seahawks

The Seahawks traded away the No. 18 pick to the Packers in exchange for the No. 27 pick, as well as a third- and sixth-round pick. With that pick, the Packers selected Louisville cornerback Jaire Alexander.
Fantasy Impact:
Now in a division with Matthew Stafford, Kirk Cousins, and Mitch Trubisky, the Packers feel the need to boast their secondary. Alexander isn't your prototypical "big" cornerback, but he plays with a certain edge that you love to see out of cornerbacks. He'll be asked to start opposite last year's early-round draft pick Kevin King. This was solid work by the Packers front office to walk away with a first-round pick in next year's draft while snagging a top-three cornerback in the draft.
