Ive always loved Alexander's game. He's flat sucked the last 2 years, but foot and hand injuries didnt help. But with that said, the guy's no longer good enough to be a starter on very many teams, let alone the Pats. And as a backup RB, if he cant play special teams, he's not even going to be considered here. And he doesnt play special teams. So, basically he's not going to even be considered.
Personally, Id like to see the Pats bringing in a young back with one of those 3rd round picks to provide a little more help in the return game or just general special teams play. A playmaker like Ray Rice, Chris Johnson or Steve Slaton. This is a seriously deep RB draft, so there's gonna be some value still hanging around in the 3rd-4th round area. Its one of the reasons older guys like Shaun Alexander will have trouble finding work if they get cut and arent willing to play for a whole lot less.
But SA will never come here. He's not just looking for just a ring or a one-year deal. He'll probably restructure and stay in Seattle.
