It could be a busy draft night for former LSU players in a few months, and in the latest mock draft from The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, three Tigers players are projected as first-round picks.
[autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag], who may find himself as this year’s Biletnikoff Winner, has been the most productive receiver in college football this season. He’s projected to go sixth overall to the New York Giants.
Meanwhile, [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] — who hasn’t seen a lot of draft hype but has had his stock rise in recent weeks — jumps into the top 10, going to the Buccaneers one pick later.
[autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag], who is having a prolific season in his own right despite splitting targets with Nabers and others, is also projected to go at the end of the round to the Steelers with the 23rd pick.
🚨Mock Draft 1.0
– Bears draft two cornerstone players
– Jayden Daniels 📈👀
– 20 yrs later, Cardinals get another Larry Fitz
– Record number of first-rounders at a certain position (not WR)https://t.co/ZkNm2Otsz1— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) November 29, 2023
Were this prediction to come to pass, it would be the most players LSU has seen drafted in the first round since 2020 when five players were selected on the first night, headlined by [autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag] with the top pick.
