Once again, LSU dominated the NFL Draft.
The Tigers tied for the fourth most selections in the 2017 NFL Draft, including producing the top player at three positions. With three first round picks, Jamal Adams, Leonard Fournette and Tre’Davious White highlighted round one on Thursday night.
After making an early splash, LSU still made their name heard with Duke Riley (Falcons), Ethan Pocic (Seahawks) and Kendell Beckwith (Buccaneers), going in the second and third rounds. In fact, Malachi Dupre was drafted in the seventh round to the Green Bay Packers, rounding out a solid week for Ed Orgeron and LSU in Philly.
