He could absolutely go as high as #1 depending on the team if they need a running back

That site has Armani Watts in the first round.

He probably still has a bruise on his chest from Fournette's cleats

3 rbs in the top 8 is not very realistic, just like 5 in the first round isn't either


I agree with you, but there will be at least 3 drafted in the first round. I have said this personally, but I've seen many others say it including recruiting sites and NFL scouts. That 2014 high school RB class might go down as the best ever.

Fournette, Chubb, Cook, Perine, Freeman, Mixon and Hurd. There will be at least 3 RBs taken in the first round no doubt.

Pocic could move up the rankings with the quickness if he moves to tackle as well.


I think Pocic ends up as a top 15 pick. I also see Dupre having the best season for an LSU WR ever next year.

Neal will only improve and I could see a chance for him to go in the first round if he continues to produce.

Fournette is a top 5 pick.


ETA: Adams also has an outside shot of being a 1st round pick. Godchaux just needs to keep producing because he already has good measurables.

Only problem with that is they project the U QB Kaaya to the Saints - not a chance in hell

Not sure how Neal can be that hire next year but not on any boards this year. Neal is really maxing his effort out there this year but the tools are missing on a draft board.

All I know is if that thing is anywhere close to accurate, and the Saints take Brad Kaaya with a top 10 pick, I will be heading to NOLA to ax murder Loomis. That is a total load of crap, though seeing 5 LSU Tigers in the 1st round would be sweet haha


Kaaya is got damn legit! He performed very well as a true freshman in a pro style offense and is doing it again this year with way less talent. He lost his starting 1650 yard 10 TD RB and his top 3 pass catchers that combined for 52% of receptions, 60% of yards, and 77% of TDs. I think he lost at least half of his OL as well.

He was lighting it up this year before his injury, and despite playing with less talented players.

I wouldnt call it lighting it up. He has been good some games, and really meh others. He makes a few too many WTF throws, but he does have time to improve. For his sake, I hope The U gets a coach that can help him.

depends on who is picking.

I don't think there are many teams that bad who are thinking to themselves "we are 1 RB away"

Normally they need a QB like bad.

But LF is a freakish talent, and i think the NFL is having a RB renaissance.

They will be super disappointed when Neal measures at 6'0 even at the combine. I love the guy, and I think height is. Stupid thing to look at sometimes, but it's the NFL we're talking about. They LOVE measureables




They love measureables but also love production. If he keeps up the production and is a double digit sack guy, I dont see why he can't go pretty early despite his height.

shite, 2 of the best NFL pass rushers right now are 6'2": Justin Houston and Von Miller

Khalil Mack- 6'2"
Kikaha- 6'2"
Robert Mathis 6'2"
Jerry Hughes 6'1"
James Harrison- 6'0"


Neal's arms look to be very long. If he measures in the 6'- 6'1" range it's not like he is doomed.

Malachi at #9, Lewis Neal at #10, godchaux #28, pocic #32


Fournette WILL go in the top 2

Malachi should go in the top five

I expect Neal to go later than 10 just because he's short for the position and the pros are queer for that kind of shot.

Looks a little low for Godchaux

Pocic surely will go higher than 32. I would guess 20.

I still say top top 10. He'll have the height, decent speed, leaping ability, and the production. Really depends on how his route running and hands develop though.

He has 4 games with at least 287 yards and 2 with at least 379. He's also not a screen you to death type of QB system either. He has 2 meh games but 6 very productive games.
