Latest NFL Mock Draft Has Three Tigers Selected In The First Round

CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson released an updated NFL Mock Draft this week and projects three LSU Tigers to be selected in the first round.

Wilson has quarterback Jayden Daniels selected No. 6 overall to the New York Giants, wide receiver Malik Nabers picked No. 10 overall to the New York Jets, and wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. drafted No. 15 overall to the Indianapolis Colts.

Round 1 - Pick 6 - New York Giants:
Jayden Daniels QB
LSU • SR • 6'4" / 210 LBS

Prospect Rank - 14th
Position Rank - 3rd

No player did more for their draft stock in the fall than Jayden Daniels, who went from possible Day 3 pick to first-round prospect. He reminds me of Lamar Jackson, and the Giants aren't tied to Daniel Jones beyond the 2024 season.


Round 1 - Pick 10 - New York Jets:
Malik Nabers WR
LSU • JR • 6'0" / 200 LBS

Prospect Rank - 12th
Position Rank - 3rd

The Jets would love an offensive linemen here, but with the top 3 already off the board, they take WR2, who is more like WR1.5; Nabers was electric for LSU in 2023, and he will give Garrett Wilson some much-needed help in New York.


Round 1 - Pick 15 - Indianapolis Colts
Brian Thomas Jr. WR
LSU • JR • 6'4" / 205 LBS

Prospect Rank - 31st
Position Rank - 5th

Brian Thomas flew under the radar for LSU, which is what happens when you play alongside Malik Nabers and Jayden Daniels. But he's a legit first-round talent who won consistently on vertical routes and dominated at the catch point.
