Quote:Nobody is saying Alualu is an NFL All Pro, they are simply saying he is a better player than many on this board give him credit for.

 

Too many people on this board bring up where he was picked when people give him credit for being a good player.  You guys can't let that hate go.  If Alualu was the 2nd or 3rd round pick that he should have been he would be one of the most loved Jaguars, and well deserved.

Male bovine excrement!

 

Completely remove his draft position from the equation.

 

Can you recall any truly dominant performances from him?  Can you or anyone recall a time we knew the interior run defense was not a concern because Alualu was there?

 

I won't even bother with Stroud and Henderson comparisons.

 

Heck, it's an insult to compare him with Gary Walker and Seth Payne.  Neither of them were first round picks and vastly outperformed Alualu

 

He hasn't reached Malik Jackson or Senderrick Marks level of production. Jackson wasn't a first round pick.

 

As another poster observed, Abry Johnson has shown more signs of dominance.  I'd also put Pot Roast and Roy Miller above him.  None of them were first round picks either.

 

At most, Alualu is the 10th best DT in team history.  He's a guy.  That's all he ever was, or will be.
