Tyson Alualu, Cal

Love this guy as a mid-late round pick up to fill our need for DE. 6-3, 295, 4.8. Listed as a DT but plays all over the line. Seen a lot of 3-4 DE looks on the video I've seen. He's very disruptive, has a high motor and is very versatile. Perfect Rex-type guy that can be moved up and down the line and even looks comfortable dropping out into coverage. If we can grab this guy in the 5th or 6th round to play DE it would be an absolute coup.

It’s a nice thought Crack, but he may have trouble getting out the 2nd, and if he gets out the 3rd, I would be astonished. Most people I have talked to consider him a 2nd-3rd round prospect. CBS have him as a 2nd round prospect. I actually had him on version 1.0 of the GGN mock, would like to pick him up, but thinking we would have to use our 2nd round pick on him if we wanted him.

I admit i didn’t research a bunch of mocks, but only a few, to see where he might land. The ones I saw predicted him as a mid-rounder, which astonished me after looking at his film. I got so excited I wanted to throw up a post so people can see him. I hope he slips. I guess its possible if a guy like Cody doesn’t go until late first to early 2nd. I was hoping to nab him in the 5th but wouldnt mind at all grabbing him in the 4th if he’s still there to be had.

If he does someone drop to the 4th then it would be a no brainer, even if we had already gone DE in the first and second, his kind of talent has no right being anywhere below the 3rd and someone would argue 2nd. Will keep my fingers crossed, but I can actually see him going in the 2nd round in a few weeks.

he could sneak into the bottom of the first. Mike Mayock as him rated as his 5th best DT, although he could be bes as a 3-4 DE in the 5 technique.

is my order. …..Cody is only good for 1 or 2 downs. And i don’t think Jared Odrick will ever be anything special.
