If we can't get Kalil how about :
Samson Satele
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 278 pounds
Hometown: Kaneohe, HI
Later round pick to take Hogdons spot on the roster? I am not sure where he is projected to be picked.
"One question persists as Samson Satele makes the rounds among the NFL types interviewing him at Senior Bowl practices in Mobile, Ala.
"They all ask if I can run block," Satele said in a phone interview Wednesday. "I felt like I answered it pretty good on the (practice) field today."
The question comes up because the scouts know Satele played at Hawaii, known more for breaking passing records than running the football.
But a scout said Satele, like everyone else, has had his good reps and his bad reps. That's how it is for even the bluest of chips competing for draft position. The difference is Satele has improved as the week has gone by, the scout said.
Satele has been playing center and guard in practice.
"They're having me split the reps. It's good that I can play both," Satele said. "It's fun. Felt like three games in a row. I love the contact and tempo of the practice. There are some good players over here."
After tomorrow's game, Satele returns to the Plex training center in Houston to prepare for the combine. His former teammates, offensive tackle Dane Uperesa, defensive lineman Melila Purcell and running back Nate Ilaoa -- also clients of Goeas' -- are also working out there. So is Kahuku graduate Palani Ma Sun, an offensive lineman who played at Oregon."

What little of him I saw in the combine telecast he looked good and never stopped hustling.
I don't know what his reps were at lifting.
And he is training in Houston?
Any thoughts?
