6. (176) Rufus Alexander, OLB
Rufus Alexander could wind up being a steal for the Vikings in the 6th round. He’s a little small at 6’0, 227 pounds and he’s a tad slow as he runs a 4.7 40 but he’s a good football player. You can’t measure a player’s heart and Alexander plays faster than he times. He played in 39 games (36 starts) at Oklahoma and he made 295 tackles, 38 tackles for a loss, had 9 sacks, broke up 16 passes and intercepted 3 passes. Alexander will likely be a backup linebacker as a rookie but he could be a future starter down the road. He should also help out on special teams as a rookie.
