— Clemson cornerback Mackensie Alexander left school after two seasons as a starter, but in talking to one AFC scout this week, they're not a fan of that decision.

— Speaking of Clemson defensive backs, an AFC West team I spoke to this week has safety Jayron Kearse tagged as a late-rounder heading into the combine. Kearse, they said, doesn't have the fluid hips to play safety in the NFL and may need to move to linebacker like Mark Barron or Deone Bucannon.
