STM Take

Tier 8 (#78) rookie to tier 6 (#48) sophomore is a 30-spot one-year jump for a 2024 UDFA, which puts Laulu in the rare outlier-positive class for Day 3 IDL UDFA prospects. The Hawaii-to-Oklahoma transfer pedigree plus the Raiders position-specific coaching gives him basic developmental floor. The 2026 question is whether Laulu crosses into tier 5 territory or whether the structural tier 6 finish becomes the stable baseline.

Laulu came out of Oklahoma as a 2024 undrafted free agent signed by the Las Vegas Raiders after transferring from Hawaii. He spent his rookie year as developmental depth before emerging into a rotational interior role in 2025. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#78) rookie to tier 6 (#48) sophomore, a 30-spot year-over-year jump.

Strengths

  • 30-spot year-over-year jump from tier 8 (#78) rookie to tier 6 (#48) sophomore as a 2024 UDFA puts him in the outlier-positive class.
  • Hawaii-to-Oklahoma transfer pedigree plus the Raiders rotational reps gives him basic developmental foundation.

Concerns

  • Single tier 6 finish without prior top-60 STTM history puts the long-term projection at significant downside risk.
  • Las Vegas's broader defensive identity instability compresses the structural support around Laulu's continued development.

What to watch: Whether Laulu crosses into tier 5 (top 40) in 2026, the threshold for confirming the year-two jump was structural.
