The Jaguars' defensive scheme (2009-2012) was primarily a 4-3 Cover 2/Cover 3 system that emphasized strong interior play and generating pressure from the defensive line.
Initially, Alualu projects as a versatile interior lineman who can contribute in run defense and generate some interior pressure; his ceiling is a long-term starter at defensive tackle with scheme versatility.
A purely pass-rushing 3-4 defense that asks him to regularly play as a five-technique without interior support would diminish his impact.
Alualu's combination of size, athleticism, and versatility makes him an immediate fit for a 4-3 defense, offering disruptive potential against both the run and pass.
Selected #10 overall in Round 1 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Jacksonville Jaguars out of California.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
