22. Jaire Alexander
Statistically speaking (when using high-level metrics), Alexander graded as the best corner in football during the 2020 season. Alexander is cat-quick in coverage — which enables him to break on the ball exceptionally well (accounting for a combined 17 pass break-ups/interceptions in 2020). The fluid nature of his athleticism also enables Alexander to flip his hips and track in coverage quite well. While injuries derailed his 2021 season, there’s real reason to think Alexander could one day become the No. 1 DB in the NFL.
