I had him as my 2nd round pick, i wanted to trade down to take Rivers in the late 1st (providing how well he does at the combine)
Anyway a few friends as well as a few on this board questioned the lavalais pick so I thought id give a bit of insight.
Aside from not only getting his degree in education and being a very well rounded individual hes a very tough individual mentally.
Hes been both Defensive player of the year and an All-American (including his senior season) and is ranked by many as the 2nd best DT available.
A finalist for both the Outland and Nagurski awards, Lavalais was the only All-American on the LSU title team.
With 7 sacks, 1 INT, 1 FG Block, 15 tackels for a loss he was the anchor in the LSU line this past season. Against Ol' Miss he told Eli manning what play they were running then bull rushed the OL into him knocking him down.
This guy is a beast he will be gone by the end of the 2nd round I just hope we can snag him.
