I know nothing about Maurice Alexander...other than there was hype that he'd go in the 3rd or 4th round. I also know he had some character issues in the past.
 
I am stumped, better players with production behind them left on board. I hope they know something

8. MO ALEXANDER, Utah State (6-1, 220, 4.55, 4) – Played two seasons in junior college and transferred to Utah State, where he started at OLB in 2011. In '12, he socked a teammate in the face (who underwent emergency surgery) and eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor aggravated assault. Kicked off team for the '12 season but returned to start at FS in '13. "He is really humbled by that whole thing," one scout said. "Really like him. Big and really athletic. Tough guy." Finished with 125 tackles (16 for loss), one pick and seven passes defensed. Wonderlic of 14. "He's a box safety," another scout said. "He's too rigid to play in coverage. If you're going to have a strong safety you've got to at least have enough movement to mirror guys. He will struggle." From St. Louis, where he was an outstanding prep wrestler.

Huh. Are we starting two SS, two box safeties? At the very least we now have a very big safety tandem.
 
IDK. NFL Draft Scout had him ranked as a 7th round prospect, maybe UDFA.
 
sounds like a bad pick. can one of you spend some time with him teaching him to spell his name so he can cash his check...14 on the wunderlic
 
He's a hitter, former linebacker, - prototypical size. Good physical ability - may be able to cover deep given experience.

Has character concerns, suspended for assault - a bit inexperienced - lateral agility limited - difficult to line up against slot receivers and doesn't pursue coverage instead going for he hit.

According to Bleacher Reports scouting report on him (I know....)
