The NFL Draft is slowly approaching and the next event up for the LSU Tigers that have declared for the NFL Draft is the showcase Bowl Games. On February 1st, six LSU Tigers are set to showcase their talents at the Reese's Senior Bowl. The Senior Bowl gives Seniors and some Juniors the chance to boost their NFL Draft stock and three LSU Tigers stand out as players that have a ton to gain with strong showings.
Garrett Dellinger - Left Guard
While LSU has six players slated to participate in the Reese's Senior Bowl, no player may need the week of experience more than Left Guard Garrett Dellinger. While Dellinger was one of the anchors of LSU's offensive line he will have less film than most of his guard counterparts as he missed a ton of time with an ankle injury. Not only will Dellinger have the chance to showcase his ability against some of the top defensive linemen in the Draft but, he'll have the ability to prove he's fully recovered from the surgery he had on his ankle during the season.
Mason Taylor - Tight End
As the NFL Draft approaches, there seems to be a clear pecking order for the tight ends in this class. After his monster season, Tyler Warren is seen as the top tight end in the class, Colston Loveland is seen as the second best tight end, and Harrold Fannin Jr and Mason Taylor are seen as behind the top two. If Mason Taylor has a strong showing at the Senior Bowl, he can shift where his Draft Stock currently is.
Taylor is one of the strongest blockers at tight end while there has never been a question about his ability as a receiver. The difference in Taylor compared to the other Tight Ends in the Draft is production as LSU's offense never needed to fully rely on Taylor. In the Senior Bowl, Taylor can get his most production yet while further show his ability as a blocker making him a do-it-all tight end in the eyes of the scouts.
Miles Frazier - Guard
While Will Campbell and Emery Jones Jr are projected to hear their names called early on in this year's draft, the same can't be said for LSU's Guard tandem of Miles Frazier and Garrett Dellinger. While Garrett Dellinger is looking to show he's fully recovered from ankle surgery, Miles Frazier will be looking to show his ability against top defensive linemen.
The interesting move that Miles Frazier can pull that Garrett Dellinger can't is taking reps at tackle in the Senior Bowl. Frazier showed his versatility by playing right tackle in the Texas Bowl and by playing tackle in the Senior Bowl he can give NFL Scouts the ability to draft him with the upside that he can play tackle.
