Quote:Lol, many people have Mack being picked at the top of the first round.  Alualu was projected in the 2nd-3rd round and we picked him at 11.

 

How do those picks resemble each other at all?

 

I had a guy on the elevator tell me that it was a Gene Smith type pick.  Just because a guy went to a small school doesn't mean he will be a bad player...especially one with an upside like Mack.

 

By the time of the draft Alualu was not a 2nd' 3rd rounder, he was considered late first. Gene took him just outside the top 10 and denied a trade back that would have netted us an extra pick where we still could have selected Alualu. 

 

Mack should probably go around pick 10. If we select him at 3, it is like the Alualu pick, just further up in the draft.
