Liked him a lot in the 2000 draft. Was a tackle by most regards. Kinda finesse guy, though, so could make it at guard.

Here are his combine #s

Kaulana Noa - Hawaii
6' 3 5/8", 317 lbs.
40 - 5.33
Vertical - 25-1/2"
Long jump - 8'2"
Reps @ 225 - 27
Cone? - 4.74
Shuttle? - 7.82

Seems a little light on the bench, but I imagine that's improved since he's been in the league. 40 time could be better, too.
