NFL Mock Draft, Pick 57: Ravens Select Tyson Alualu, DT California

The 57th pick is in and SB Nation’s Ravens community, Baltimore Beatdown, has selected...

California DT Tyson Alualu

From Baltimore Beatdown:

Alualu is everything that the Baltimore Ravens organization covet in a defender. Not only is he a relentless D-Lineman, but Alualu is an extremely mature, family man. When it comes to a high character player, few teams live by that trait like the Ravens do.

From Mocking The Draft:

It may not be a good thing for Baltimore to get out of the first two rounds without a cornerback. But that’s what has happened in this scenario. Alualu and Gresham were good need fills, so it’s hard to fault the picks that much. But cornerback is such a dire need for the Ravens.

I agree with cornerback is a major need but it’s hard to pass on big bodies like this. The Ravens have made their name in the trenches and I suspect Alualu will help continue that.
