The buzz surrounding former Bruin Laiatu Latu continues to build. The edge rusher is a projected first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and has meetings scheduled with two NFL franchises.
Latu, who already met with the Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, and Denver Broncos last week, now heads to the East Coast to visit the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles.
Buffalo holds the #28 pick in the Draft, while the Eagles have the #22 pick. With several mock drafts having Latu falling as far as #23 overall, the Eagles have a better shot of landing Latu than the Bills. Unless Buffalo moves up, they would be hoping that a run on quarterbacks early allows the All-American to fall to them.
Pre-Draft visits on the final week they are allowed:
— #UCLA edge Laiatu Latu, one of the Draft's best, is visiting with the #Bills today and has the #Eagles tomorrow.
— #Oregon CB Khyree Jackson is visiting the #Vikings today on a Top 30 visit.
— And the #Commanders are…— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 15, 2024
There is no doubt that Latu has the attention of several teams picking in the first round. With mock drafts showing Latu going as high as ninth overall, where Latu is selected continues to be a topic of conversation.
