I think it's pretty safe to say that LSU's string of DL draftees will continue

...if Anthony Johnson or Ego Ferguson come out early. Freak has all the intangibles to be a first round pick (size, quickness, strength). The only thing that has held him back from all reports is his techniques. Ego is still a mystery to me. I hear that he has really made great strides. And Chavis speaks very highly of his DT combo. That makes me believe that Ego will also be a good candidate to leave early.

Ego is only a junior? It feels like hes been on the team for like 6 years

I think both leave. Both have a good shot to go 1st round, but I think Freak goes a round before ego. JMO

Those are all "tangibles". Intangibles are toughness, heart, football IQ, etc.

Well I hope that both of them stay till there senior year. Yea I know its good for recruiting and all that crap to have lots of NFL draft picks but I want to see what these guys can do for all 4 years. There is a lot of money being thrown at these kids but damn you will never get these amazing years back and if you dominate again your senior year you will probably get drafted higher. If Ego has a big year he will go pro because this is his 4th year but Johnson will be a senior after this season and I hope he comes back

With a nickname like "Freak" this doesn't really surprise me. He probably played his whole life being a man amongst boys. He never really had to worry about using good technique until college.

I'm sure the coaches have addressed this, but I'd imagine it takes a lot of time to get good at playing with proper technique when you have never really had to play that way.

Did you see Sonic Sam in the first round? Neither of these guys impacted the team as much as him. He laid back last year in games and admitted it. Ego, has done zilch! Nada! Freak has not lived up to his potential! Period! Yea, this is a new year, but both are still unproven. Before we start talking about these guys leaving early. Let them at least play up to their potential for an entire season.

no offense but Freak still has some proving to do this year when it comes to being on the field the majority of the snaps....however if he produces i could see possible first round

Come on dude... hopefully he has a breakout type year but he has done nothing to garner this kind of praise.
