As the LSU Tigers in the NFL continue their dominant run, reinforcements are on the way to the NFL. LSU has a loaded class of players heading off to the NFL Headlined by Left Tackle Will Campbell who's heavily expected to be a first round pick. The latest three round NFL Mock Draft by A to Z Sports has 7 LSU Tigers being taken in the first three rounds.
The first selection from LSU in the Mock Draft is Left Tackle Will Campbell being selected 9th overall by the Chicago Bears. After using the 1st Overall Pick on Caleb Williams last year, the Bears go out and land a pass protector after their offensive line has been miserable this year.
The next LSU Tigers off the board comes with the 44th pick as the Miami Dolphins bolster their defensive front by taking edge rusher Bradyn Swinson. Between injuries to Tua Tagovailoa and defensive struggles, the Dolphins need to add talent on both side of the football to help when the offense struggles and Swinson can help force turnovers.
Six Picks later, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers bring another LSU Tiger to Florida selecting Cornerback Zy Alexander. The Bucs are loaded in the front seven but, have seen some talented defensive backs leave over the past two seasons so by adding Alexander they give their secondary another piece to help in slowing opposing offenses.
Our favorite selection of the entire Mock Draft comes at the start of the third round where the New York Giants reunite Malik Nabers with Kyren Lacy using the 65th overall pick on another LSU Wide Receiver. The mock draft has the Giants selecting Cam Ward 1st overall so we finally see Malik Nabers playing with a competent quarterback and he gets another wide receiver that can take attention away from him.
The Indianapolis Colts are the next to nab an LSU Tiger by taking a chance on Harold Perkins with the 77th overall pick. The Colts have given up a ton of points this season and by adding Perkins they land a player that could end up in several different roles. Perkins hasn't announced whether or not he'll enter the draft so his stock may rise if he officially enters.
Mason Taylor is the final LSU Tiger to come off the board in the first three rounds landing in Jacksonville with the 94th overall pick. The selection would team Taylor and Brian Thomas Jr up once again while allowing Evan Engram to play more like a Wide Receiver which seems to be his best fit.
The biggest surprise of the Mock Draft is that Right Tackle Emery Jones Jr slides out of the first three rounds. Given that Jones decided to enter the draft he likely has a much higher grade and should hear his name called by the end of day two.
