INDIANAPOLIS -- When D.J. Fluker showed up for the Senior Bowl, he surprised people with his weigh-in. And, as CBSSports.com's Dave Richard noted at the time, not in a good way: Fluker had beefed up from his listed weight of 339 pounds to a heftier 355 pounds.

So it's good news for him that, via NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, Fluker has managed to lose a chunk of his chunk since then, weighing in at 339 pounds at the combine.

Fluker, the 24th overall prospect on NFLDraftScout.com's big board and the fourth-ranked tackle, was a projected first-round pick in three of CBSSports.com's four mock drafts. (Myself, Rob Rang and Pete Prisco all had him going in the 20-26 range.)

Unlike the other top tackle prospects, Fluker is likely going to be a right side-only lineman. But he can make an immediate impact in the run game for whoever grabs him.

However, Fluker checking into the NFL's version of a job interview with extra weight on his body wouldn't be a great look. Dumping off the additional pounds he picked up between the end of the year and the Senior Bowl is a good look and should boost his stock, particuarly if he performs well during workouts this week.
