Alexander vs Jackson III

[danlhart87]

Which CB would you like to draft at 18?

[AndyColt]

I would take William Jackson his long length wicked Speed to keep up with fast WR ......If we went to war against the Pats in the Playoffs William Jackson the third and Vontea davis would give Brady bunch nightmares......

[will426]

Hmm well we only need one lockdown we need a speedster because Vontae is and handles the big physical Wr and toler had to deal with the fast guys 

[MPStack]

Jackson without question.

Seems the popular vote is Alexander. Anyone care to explain why?

It seems as though they are a little opposite in that Alexander gets a bit grabby and presses at line well. Jackson has the measureables but isn't that great in press coverage and needs to work on double moves as he likes to jump routes. Alexander on the other hand scares me as he needs to work on his footwork and he didn't have great production in college. Alexander did get grabby so I definitely see more PI than what Jackson will have. Ideally I like Apple for our first or hopefully trading back slightly and snagging Jackson.

[Archer]

I'm definitely an Apple guy.  But given the choice, I'll take Jackson over Alexander.  Better physical tools to work with (speed galore).

Alexander, outside of his no interceptions, this kid freaking BALLS out 

[COLTS449]

Jackson all day. But there's a handful of corners in this draft that I think can be really good. Ramsey, Hargreaves, Jackson, Alexander, Apple, Robinson, and Fuller, etc

I have no clue. I think the guy is overrated a product of a great pass rush.

I like Fuller in the 2nd or Howard in the 3rd. I also like Hall and Russell as FS's. I think Russell could be a solid #2 but could be special at FS. There is talk of him falling to the middle of day 3. I would jump on him in the 5th. 

[OHColtfan]

If between Jackson and Alexander, def Jackson. Alexander seems like a good player, but would rather go with the guy who has the height/speed, etc and has made the int's .All that being said, would believe we would be OK with either.   But as Archer said above, I would like Apple better if he fell to us.

[Qcolts]

Alexander seems like the better man cover guy. He is less prone to getting beat (especially deep)but Jackson seems like more of a ball hawk and overall playmaker. Jackson is the better athlete of the two. 

[AndyColt]

I would take William Jackson all day long.....

I haven't watched much tape of either but that game for Jackson wasn't particularly impressive IMO. he first INT he was actually beat deep and the QB under threw it same with his next big breakup and the last INT was a 4th down with the QB running around and trying to force something. I watched the Clemson Bama game and came away more impressed with Alexander.

[CoachLite]

This was a hard choice between two incomplete candidates. I went with Alexander, with the hope that good coaching could help him reach his (higher, IMO) potential, and better complimentary fit.

[Bluefire4]

I really don't like Alexander. Never did when I watched Clemson.

[The Brazilian Ninja]

I look Mackensie Alexander highlights. And the only thing I saw was him making tackles after let the WR open by a 5 yard distance
