Even with talented safety Derwin James on the board, the Saints gave the Packers a deal too rich to give up, as Green Bay traded down from No. 14. Getting a 2019 first-round pick was a steal for new GM Brian Gutekunst. Later on, he made a strong move up to pick Alexander, the second-best corner in the draft to most teams, despite being a little undersized. They did give up a third-round pick in this deal, but the net effect of the two deals is still a positive, and they met their biggest position need with a guy who can be an above-average starter.

This comes from a friend of mine.  I sent him the T-Buck being his coach comment.  Here is his response:

"Buckley is not the only strike against him.  We haven't had much luck with first round picks whose first names start with J.  Going back to 1996 I find John Michels, Jamaal Reynolds, Javon Walker, and Justin Harrell.  Only Walker made somewhat of an impact."

Is your friend kworst?

That sounds like something my wife would say - and she's usually right when she does

To me it had the feel of the lady who use to be in our office years ago making picks in our (quiet underground) NFL football pool based on team colors - and winning consistently twice a year.  I still haven't figured out what that formula was - but just maybe it wasn't supposed to make sense. 

I get the wife reference too.
