I don't think this list will be very long.

I would say the following would get drafter for certain:

1) Herm Johnson
2) Black (if he comes out)
3) Byrd (6th or 7th round)

That is all.

I think RJF has a realistic shot at being drafted as well. Even with a short on field resume.

Tyson Jackson maybe 2nd round.
Colt David for sure..... what round? I don't know.

4. Jackson will definitely get drafted.
5. RJF will get drafted if he comes out. Maybe not that high but definitely drafted.

Ryan Miller or Helms might get drafted, but more likely to be free agents, as will Beckwith and Favoriate.

I seriously doubt that.

I forgot David. I forgot Jackson also. I think he might go round 4 or 5.

Lee is a definite first rounder.

So we have 4-5 players that are probably round 4 to round 5. Not so good.

Lee has more heart than all the previous players listed. Except Herm, who always played hard.

Why would he come out if he could improve his contract value by returning and having a good to decent year?

None of them after the putrid performance this year. You remember when Saban took issue when people always said before he got here--"we have so much talent, but aren't winning." He said the measure of talent is how many player you have drafted & put in the league. Well, we'll see where we sit after the next couple of drafts. It won't be pretty.

Brandon Lafell has been generating more interest as of late than anyone. This is a weak receiver class. Also have to consider salary cap issue.

I will be happy when LSU gets rid of these damn Saban recruits destroying the program with their bad attitudes.

1. Herm Johnson: 2nd round
2. Black: 2nd or 3rd round
3. Lafell: 1st or 2nd round (if he comes out)
4. Tyson Jackson: 2nd or 3rd round.
5. RJF: 3rd or 4th round
6. Byrd: 4th or 5th round.

undrafted FA's: favorite; Tremaine Johnson, Beckwith, David.

I don't think Colt David gets drafted. Hes a UDFA candidate. Louie Sakoda is the only K who I think will get drafted. As for RJF let that POS leave, besides I heard he was having trouble finding Allen Hall again.. As for the rest, don't underestimate what a good/poor lead up to the draft will do to your stock.. SOme of these guys could skyrocket or fall

People are sleeping on how well Lafell should do at the combine if he goes for it.

He won't have a blow you away 40 time, but he should do well in the tests of explosiveness, size, and strength with a 4.4X 40 which will help him.

RJF should have an amazing combine which will keep him in the 4thish round.
