LSU is in a completely different era as a program from the one Harold Perkins, Garrett Nussmeier or Mansoor Delane played under last fall. But that doesn’t mean the Tigers are lacking draftable players this year.

LSU football endured a tumultuous year to say the least. Head coach Brian Kelly was let go after a 5-3 start (2-3 in the SEC), and the Tigers scuffled to a 7-6 finish. In late November, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin dramatically left the Rebels for LSU on a $91 million deal.
