What the #$!@. This guy is the #74 rated prospect according to Fox Sports. Since he's from California,
he'll probably be playing there soon for the LA Jaguars........................

Lovin the optimism.

Just because a website gives IT'S OPINION as to how good he is and where he ranks doesn't mean a damn thing. Look at all the top picks that have busted in the past, it doesn't mean a damn thing to me and anyone with half a brain would realize that as well.

I blame it on Buffalo.

What was odd is that you had 3 teams in a row that had serious QB issues, Cleveland, Oakland, and Buffalo and they didn't take one. Makes me wonder what's next.

All those teams passed on 15,,,,,what does that say about the mentally and intelligence of Jacksonville fans.

It seem like everyone's a genius NFL talent scout.

Not having that particular talent, I'll take the wait and see approach.

Best Player Available.
If that's the GM's evaluation of "Best Player Available" the Jags have bigger problems than will be solved in this draft

I'd wait to reserve judgement....last year's draft worked out pretty well.

From the site linked above:

"Played in the 2010 Senior Bowl and contributed a sack for a loss of four yards, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in a 31-13 North victory ... his sack came on 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow."

Jaguars take Tyson Alualu
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 22, 2010 8:42 PM ET
With the 10th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars surprised everyone, selecting Cal defensive tackle Tyson Alualu.

A lot of mock drafts had the Jaguars taking running back C.J. Spiller with the 10th pick, but when the Bills grabbed Spiller at No. 9, the Jaguars decided to make a surprise selection.

NFL Network's Mike Mayock referred to Alualu as one of his favorite players in the draft, while ESPN's Mel Kiper said the Jaguars reached by about half a round. Draft expert Rick Gosselin rated Alualu as the No. 31 overall player in the draft, but the Jaguars took him 21 spots higher than that.

The 6-foot-3, 295-pound Alualu was a three-year starter at Cal, with 40 starts in his college career. The Jaguars wouldn't have taken him this highly if they didn't expect him to start as a rookie, which means the early surprise of the draft will be expected to get on the field early in his NFL career.

I dunno why so many people wanted the Jags to get Spiller. We already have MJD, and they (MJD CJ) are damn near the same guy (being that they're both smallish, and elusive style RBs). If Alualu is the real deal like they think, then him and Knighton are gonna be a force to be reckoned with.
