He is as consistent as it comes on the outside and has the ability to take the ball away. Delane is an easy top-10 pick and should be a Day 1 starter for whatever team selects him.” <\/p>\n

S AJ Haulcy, Indianapolis Colts \u2014 Round 3, No. 78 overall <\/p>\n
“Haulcy probably won’t replicate his ball production at the next level, but he can still make an impact in coverage as a punishing force. Between this selection and Allen, Indianapolis is quietly solidifying its defense down the middle,” USA Today wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n WR Zavion Thomas, Chicago Bears \u2014 Round 3, No. 89 overall <\/p>\n Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz<\/a>: “Having run a 4.28-second 40-yard dash at the combine, Thomas has established that he has rare breakaway speed. Chicago is betting he’ll break off enough big plays in the return and pass game to justify what otherwise looks like a lofty investment for his skill set.”<\/p>\n TE Bauer Sharp, Tampa Bay Buccaneers \u2014 Round 6, No. 185 overall <\/p>\n \u201cLining up mostly inline and in the slot, Sharp is a good-sized athlete and energetic competitor (NFL scout: \u2018There is some insanity to the way he plays\u2019),\u201d\u00a0wrote NFL Draft analyst Dane Brugler.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cHe is a violent blocker, although he would benefit from more control.\u201d<\/p>\n WR Barion Brown, New Orleans Saints \u2014 Round 6, No. 190 overall <\/p>\n Saints Wire’s Take<\/a>: “The Saints land a special teams weapon late in the draft with the selection of LSU wide receiver Barion Brown. Brown transferred to LSU last season after spending his first three years at Kentucky, where he established himself as one of the nation\u2019s premier kick returners. He finished his collegiate career with six kick-return touchdowns while averaging 29.4 yards per return.” <\/p>\n Courtesy of LSU Tigers Football.<\/p>\n LB Harold Perkins, Atlanta Falcons \u2014 Round 6, No. 215 overall <\/p>\n “Perkins looked like a sure-fire first-round pick after his freshman season, but was never able to quite return to form. He played multiple positions for LSU and never truly found a home. In the NFL, he’s going to be an undersized linebacker who does his best work as a blitzer. But until he sees the field, expect Perkins to be a core special teamer,” FanSided wrote.<\/p>\n QB Garrett Nussmeier, Kansas City Chiefs \u2014 Round 7, No. 249 overall <\/p>\n “As a rookie, Nussmeier is expected to be the understudy to Patrick Mahomes. A few minutes after chatting with the Chiefs, Nussmeier expressed his excitement to be developed under coach Andy Reid,” ESPN wrote. <\/p>\n “It’s a great opportunity for me to learn,” Nussmeier said. “I’m just grateful that I have this opportunity. I can only imagine. I’m so excited to be in a room with those guys, coach Reid and his unbelievable offensive mind and sitting behind Patrick and steal some things from him and see the game through his eyes. It’s going to be an unbelievable experience for me.”<\/p>\n More LSU News:\u00a0 <\/p>\n LSU Football True Freshman Defensive Weapon Drawing Immediate Praise From Lane Kiffin<\/a><\/p>\n Jay Johnson, LSU Baseball Suffers Brutal Loss in Jake Brown’s Season-Ending Injury<\/a><\/p>\n LSU Football Beats Out Ohio State Buckeyes, Texas A&M Aggies for No. 5 ATH in America<\/a><\/p>\n Join the Community:\u00a0 <\/p>\n Follow Zack Nagy on Twitter:\u00a0@znagy20\u00a0<\/a>and LSU Tigers On SI:\u00a0@LSUTigersSI\u00a0<\/a>for all coverage surrounding the LSU Tigers.<\/p>\n![\"LSU](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01k6f7k9ajxrpqafe2ep.jpg\" "\\"LSU")
