Editor's note: Former Alabama star left tackle and NFL prospect Cyrus Kouandjio will be chronicling his path to the draft with a weekly diary entry on NFL.com. He's a potential first-round pick and is ranked 28th on NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah's list of the draft's top 50 prospects.

Good read. I would say he's go the tool set to be a 1st rounder, but his struggles from last year really make it hard for me to believe he'll go in the 1st. I'm thinking maybe late-1st to early-2nd round. Not that bad. Raiders drafted a FSU guy in Watson who could potentially be a starting RT if he would get his head straight.

Cyko has struggled big time so far at the combine. The commentators (Mike Mayock) has said several times that something has changed with him starting last year and it's had a bad effect on him.

Cyrus is grossly overrated. He didn't have a particularly impressive career at Alabama. Not a first rounder. The NFL guys are all business. Frankly, it may be a positive that we have an open competition for LT. Arie was also an under achiever last year....except in the penalty area where he and Cyrus set an indoor record for false start penalties.
