Like the UDFA thread, I'm posting this because I didn't see anything mentioned on the board. First page is all baseball; which I understand, but come on- it's LSU football in the news.

Prisco grades each team's overall draft, and lists their best pick. 3 LSU players named:
quote:

Jacksonville Jaguars: B
Best Pick: I love second-round defensive tackle Maason Smith from LSU. His skill set is impressive. A torn ACL in 2022 set him back, but he started to look like himself late last season. He can be dominant.

quote:

New York Giants: B-
Best Pick: It was their first one, receiver Malik Nabers. Some will say they should have taken quarterback J.J. McCarthy in that spot, but I like taking the best receiver in the draft. Nabers will be special.
quote:

Washington Commanders: A+
Best Pick: It was their first one, quarterback Jayden Daniels. I think he will be the best quarterback from this draft. They locked up a franchise passer with pick No. 2. He will be dynamic.


With Jacksonville, he also praised Brian Thomas:
quote:

The Skinny: I have been critical of Trent Baalke's drafts in the past, but this was a good one. First-round receiver Brian Thomas Jr. gives them a game-changer on offense that they've lacked, while Smith can be a beast up front. Trading down and adding picks in this draft and next year's draft was a smart move by Baalke.

And of course, this will trigger some folks on the SEC Rant, talking about the Raiders:
quote:

Worst Pick: I think tight end Brock Bowers is a good player, but why take him when you took Michael Mayer last year and he flashed big time late last season? They had other needs. This was a luxury pick.

i must have missed that part of the season. Our defense we shite, no bright spot and definitely nothing dominant.

This makes Prisco look foolish. Ok I get his points on the needs vs wants thing, but Brock Bowers in no way should ever be considered in any category as a worst pick. He must be trying to get major click bait reacts from the Georgia fanbase over that comment.
