Big boy. Lots of potential.

He's a processed player, and the League loves them.

Can't wait to see him succeed on the next level. Hope he doesn't end up on a team I hate (such as the Giants!) haha :tongue-new:

I hear ya. Just like college, once teams start sniffing, others join. I'm happy for DJ. Big guy hung in there and became an athlete.

He'll be a 1st rounder, Alabama will have (5) 1st rounders this year.

Here is Tony's first Mock Draft from earlier this week (before he posted the Fluker news)...

This is what he had to say in all on Fluker and Lester from his site, http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=6741


- Since declaring for the draft we’ve graded Alabama offensive tackle D.J. Fluker as a second round choice. It seems a number of teams have a higher opinion of the big tackle and feel Fluker won’t make it out of round one. Many in the scouting community think Fluker does not make it past the 21st pick of round one, presently held by the Cincinnati Bengals. In fact some confided Fluker may be a better fit for the New York Giants at pick 19. Despite not playing at the Senior Bowl due to groin and calf issues, teams were blown away during weigh-ins when Fluker measured just under 6-feet, 5-inches and tipped the scales at 355-pounds. His arm length of 36.38-inches was the clincher. Those we’ve spoken with love Fluker’s game film against LSU (Mingo & Montgomery) and Georgia (Jones). On a personal note I was introduced to Fluker on Sunday of the Senior Bowl by a long time friend from Mobile and was impressed with the big right tackle. Fluker really comes off as articulate, respectful and likable.

- Many chided Fluker’s teammate, safety Robert Lester, for poor play at the Senior Bowl. But the hard hitting safety told a number of people he is just spent from the long 2012 campaign.

I was thinking the same thing.
