Mackensie Alexander
2019 Stats: 38 tackles (30 solo), 1 INT, 1 fumble recovery, 5 passes defended, 0.5 sacks
Analysis: Alexander is another option that could help the Falcons in the slot. The Vikings’ defense wasn’t great against the pass in 2019, but it was still a tough unit that helped the team reach the playoffs. Alexander, a second-round pick in 2016, has impressive closing speed in coverage. While his numbers don’t reflect that of a play-maker (two career interceptions), he can cover well (21 career passes defended) and is good enough as a tackler to be a safe investment. Plus, he’s just 26 years old and entering his physical prime.
The development of Mackensie Alexander is coming along very nicely. He's getting better with each rep. pic.twitter.com/rRI4BDmVDO
