Mel Kiper has released his first 2013 Big Board, a very early look at 25 prospects he believes will be the most sought-after players in the 2013 NFL draft.

Included on the list, which includes underclassmen who could declare early, are one Alabama player ... Crimson Tide offensive tackle D.J. Fluker, a Foley High graduate, is No. 6 on the list. ...

Of Fluker, Kiper writes; "Strength is pass-blocking. Quick feet for his size and can ride a speed rush up the field. Must improve ability to use size and engage and drive defenders as a run-blocker. Can dominate here if pad level improves. A lot of natural talent, but development left." ...

Soon Mr. Fluker will be able to buy Coach Saban's lake house.  ;)

At tumes DJ doesn't show the quick feet and has been beaten.  I think he is a better run blocker than pass blocker.  That being said he does play against the toughest opposition playing in the SEC.
