Jaire Alexander vs Jalen Ramsey who's better for the Rams?

Both players are potentially available neither are a definite, but are either worth it?

I believe our co biggest need with ILB is a upgrade at CB#1 both players would do that for the Rams.

Each players have their warts.

Ramsey is healthier but 31 years old and 21-25m a season plus would require some draft compensation possibly our 101 pick which I feel is too high. He has 3 years left on his new contract after 2025 but I understand we could get out of it after 2025.

Alexander is 28 2 time probowler for GB he would cost 16m if we assumed his contract and have an additional year on the contract compensation my guess would be a 6th or 5th 2026. The big question mark is health he has had several injuries since 2023. Most recent was a PCL tear. He has played in only 38 games out of 84 since 2021.

To me I rather have Alexander if he gets released and he wants to play with us. Devante is on the team plus us being close to a SB could be enticing. Age, money and compensation all are in his favor health is not.

Ramsey was rated 17th best CB by PFF. He has a strong run grade, and an above average but not elite at 38th against the pass.

My goal for this current team is to fill in the glaring holes CB, ILB, BU T and another TE by getting one of these two we don't need to spend first round capital on one.

My final analysis I would only go with Alexander if there is zero draft compensation and medical checks out. Ramsey is too pricey as well as I feel he is diminishing this is not about nostalgia it's business.

I probably pass on both as much as I know both could possibly solve a big need and make the secondary somewhat better. Tre White scared me last year and makes me probably shy away from Alexander.

Love to hear your thoughts?

about neither........hard pass on both of them

Trading down and still getting Amos or Hairston would be ideal (if Campbell is gone)

Lot of mocks and JE really like him but he is a first/second rounder.

I prefer a 1st round CB draft pick over giving any picks for these guys.
