Latest NFL Mock Draft Has Five Tigers Going In The First-Round

---

No. 1 Cincinnati Bengals - Joe Burrow:

Joe Burrow made it clear at the combine that he would play for the Bengals. That should end the speculation ... though we imagine it won't.

No. 12 Las Vegas Raiders - K'Lavon Chaisson:

K'Lavon Chaisson might be only 254 pounds but he plays with such strength and leverage that he frequently marches offensive tackles that outweigh him by 50 pounds into the quarterback's lap. He needs to play with more consistency, but that will come with experience.

No. 19 Las Vegas Raiders - Patrick Queen:

Yes, we know, Henry Ruggs is still on the board. But GM Mike Mayock talked during the combine about how hard it is to predict how WRs will translate to the next level. Meanwhile, the Raiders very quietly had one of the best rookie draft classes last season and they'll look to build on that this spring. Queen flashed early and often during the national title game and those 60 minutes of football served as a microcosm of his 2019 season.

No. 24 New Orleans Saints - Justin Jefferson:

Jefferson told us at the combine that he would surprise a lot of people with his speed and he went out and ran 4.43. At 6-1, 200 pounds, he dominated from the slot last season for the Tigers, but he can also play outside. Wherever he lines up, Jefferson would make New Orleans' offense even more potent.

No. 32 Kansas City Cheifs - Kristian Fulton:

The Chiefs defense improved steadily this season, right through the Super Bowl win. And while the secondary was pleasantly surprising at times, Kendall Fuller and Bashaud Breeland will be free agents in the spring. Fulton had an up-and-down 2019 campaign but is undoubtedly a first-round talent -- which was also the case a year ago when he considered leaving school early.
