Besides the guys who get drafted on the first day, I think there are many guys who will make the depth chart on an NFL team and have successful NFL careers. Guys like Baker and Taylor, Simon and Brooks, Mingo and Lavar Edwards, Shepard and Boone, Blue, Loston. When it's all said and done these guys will make an NFL team and contribute early à la Stevan Ridley and Perry Riley.

Jordan Jefferson. Should have won the Heisman this year, but he just didnt get enough votes to be invited...

IAS, Eric Reid is a smart football player with good size/speed. Has the tools to be a great safety. I dont see how Sam Montgomery is not a top 10 pick if he stays all four years. TM7's size is going to hurt him, but if he keeps this level of play up for the next two years, someone will give him a shot, especially on special teams.

True.

I think Adams will make a roster and Hatcher and JJ will at least make a camp.

I'm not giving up on Shep yet either. I'd like to see him turn it on next year and maybe handle some return duty.

Honestly I think Ford is going to be a surprise high draft pick. He will blow up at the combine, and the tape will show he was effective against one of the best college defenses of all time. Just has to get better at everything else besides toting Tha rock

Probably on draft day and that'll be about the last time it's really an issue. A guy his size will have much more success covering guys like Lance Moore, Wes Welker, Deion Branch and Desean Jackson than a guy like Antonio Cromartie will, and smart teams know this and will absolutely want him.

It's Randle.
If LSU had a good passing QB, I doubt there would be much doubt about this.
He seems to stay open the whole game, often despite double coverage. If JJ could throw the long ball his YPC would be huge.

Tharold Simon will be a high draft pick when the time is right.


I agree 100%. His coverage skills are off the charts. But playing in a defensive backfield with TM7 and Claiborne, it's hard to get the high praise. If he would have caught all of the picks he dropped, he would have been on the map.

Based on Tyrann 's latest tweet, I wonder if he read this thread

if we're talking future years, I'd say Reid and Brockers have high round potential. Probably Faulk on the O-line

I agree that all three of the guys you name will likely be high picks, though not necessarily 1st round next year. I would hope they would all stay the course for the full four years. Same goes for Randall. He's projected by some to be a 2nd round guy this year. A year with ZM could propell him to a first round level IMO.

Mingo has a Demarcus Ware kind of ceiling IMO.

I think he'll be sacking NFL QB's for years.

Could pan out to be the #1 pick with his size and athletic ability. Lets hope he doesn't get hurt and develops well. Lots can go wrong with OL's in 2 years.

Good Christ. Dude needs to quit getting worked up over what a couple of fans say. Telling members of fanbase to kill themselves because he doesn't like what they say is not a good idea. I thought Miles told him to quit posting idiotic stuff on twitter too.

Twitter needs to be monitored a lot closer. If they get out of line at all with language or threats Les needs to pull that leash back and revoke twitter privileges.

"Kill yourself"? Really? Tyrann stop being a moron.

TD'ers aren't in NY at a Heisman Trophy ceremony. We have no public connection to LSU and will not be talked about on Gameday if we do dumb shite.


How in the frick can you even make that comparison?
