Stevie Tu’ikolovatu, DI, USC<\/a> (Round 7, pick No. 223 overall)<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the draft, pass-rushing prowess takes precedence, but there’s one position on the field where run defense still remains king. That position in nose tackle, and there’s no one more immovable at that position in this draft than Tu’ikolovatu. The USC nose tackle offers nothing as a pass-rusher, but he’s not playing anything other than first or second down. Tu’ikolovatu was the highest-graded nose tackle in run defense a season ago, recording 37 stops on the year.<\/p>\n
