The Arizona Cardinals are in full offseason mode, which means looking ahead to the NFL draft in April. With the college football season over, many underclassmen are declaring for the NFL draft. That includes the national champion LSU Tigers.
Four of their underclassmen have decided to skip their senior season and enter the NFL draft. None is a surprise.
One is safety Grant Delpit. He was one of the nation’s best defensive players and is considered by many as the best safety in the draft class. He will very likely be selected in the first round of the draft.
Linebacker Patrick Queen also declared. LSU has a long line of linebackers playing well in the NFL. He had a big game in the title game and seems to have stock rising.
Offensive tackle Saahdiq Charles is also entering the draft. He will likely be a Day w or Day 3 pick.
Another Tiger to skip his senior season is running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He had 1,414 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in 2019 and also caught 55 passes for 453 more yards and a touchdown, totaling 1,867 yards from scrimmage. He has quick feet and makes people miss. As one of the best running back prospects in the country, he is expected as of now to be a Day 2 pick.
